This version actually downloads the binary for the matching runtime at startup.</p>
<p dir="auto">Help from others added a script to my scripts package to help cleanup the growing disk consumption</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyhow, version 43 is no longer supported after this year</p>
<p dir="auto">Version 44 does NOT provide support for arm32, armhf systems.<br />
Node 24 also has the same limitation.</p>
<p dir="auto">We will move to electron 44 in the October release.<br />
And will document a workaround: after install or upgrade, manually install electron 43 before running<br />
(I’ll update the install/upgrade scripts to do the hack while it works)</p>
<p dir="auto">We don’t know how long this hack will work.</p>
<p dir="auto">Soooo, for those of you running on 32bit os for smaller memory, pi0-2w or pi3, you need to start making plans</p>
<ol>
<li>Freeze upgrades on that system</li>
<li>Upgrade, possibly the hardware too, to a 64 bit os</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">We have added the electron 44 to the next release, aka develop, branch<br />
If you have time or interest you can start reviewing its impacts by installing the develop branch.</p>
<p dir="auto">See my post in troubleshooting about testing changes for how to get the develop branch</p>
