I looked at updating this myself in the package.json files, but it's a six version jump and I'm not sure I would be able to test the code base well enough to support the community.

Also, IMO there should be a policy in place in when the version of Electron in this project will be updated. For example, "We commit to updating to the new version of Electron within 4 weeks of its release."

Outdated - use ElectronNET.Core and ElectronNET.Core.AspNet.

See Wiki / What's New.

Version Independence

The removal of rigid Electron version coupling means developers can now choose the Electron version that best fits their needs, with build-time validation ensuring compatibility. This approach encourages community feedback and enables faster adoption of new Electron features.

@FlorianRappl This is fantastic news. Keeping up with Electron was always a security and functionality concern with using Electron.NET as it often lagged behind. This completely removes that concern now and in the future. Great job!
