Electron does not have a LTS branch ?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThey have "Stable" releases: https://electronjs.org/releases/stable https://electronjs.org/releases/stable I'm guessing their LTS is whatever Google's released to an extent. Google Chrome is the basis for Electron, it would be a bad move to be over a year behind Chrome, which would lend to poor support from Google Chrome's dev team. At least that's my take on it, I'm not involved with either project. Maybe someone else here has better input over the matter.
- wongarsu 7y agoThey support the last three major releases, and that's it. So right now that's 6.x.y, 5.x.y and 4.x.y. A new major release is released about every 3 months. To quote the official stance: "If an application has exceptional circumstances and needs to stay on an unsupported series of Electron, developers can silence the end-of-support warning by omitting the final release from the app's package.json" [0] [0] https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/support#supported-versions https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/support#supported-versi...
