Summary

Upgrades Electron from 28.3.3 to 35.7.5 (7 major versions) to bring the desktop app up to the latest version with
improved security, performance, and modern Chromium/Node.js support.

Changes

  • Electron: ^28.0.0^35.7.5
  • electron-builder: ^24.9.1^25.1.8 (for compatibility)
  • Updated 92 packages, changed 27 packages in dependency tree

Testing Results

TypeScript compilation - No compilation errors
Application launch - App starts successfully with Electron 35
electron-builder compatibility - Packaging process initiated correctly
Native dependencies - @electron/rebuild completed successfully

⚠️ Expected changes:

  • Minor deprecation warnings (normal for major version jumps)
  • DevTools console warnings (non-critical, common in Electron upgrades)

Benefits

  • Security improvements - Latest Chromium and Node.js versions
  • Performance enhancements - Newer V8 engine and optimizations
  • Future compatibility - Stays current with Electron ecosystem
  • Bug fixes - 7 versions worth of fixes and improvements

Risk Assessment

Low risk - No breaking API changes detected that affect the current codebase. The app runs and compiles
without modification.
