v5.0.0 beta 0
Pre-release
This is a prerelease version for keytar that has two breaking changes that we are looking for feedback on
Persistence change for Windows usage
In #123 a request was made to change the persistence level for credentials to enable them to roam across a network, if the administrator has this enabled for user accounts. This was proposed in #191 and I tested various upgrade/downgrade scenarios with this change and a non-roaming account but couldn't find any issues with the approach, so it should be a safe change for existing apps.
Drop prebuild targets for unsupported targets
I merged #211 which no longer creates prebuild outputs for targets that are unsupported by the upstream Node and Electron projects. These versions no longer get bugfixes or security patches, and if you are running them in the wild please consider upgrading:
- Node - v7 and below
- Electron - v3 and below
The last v4 release of keytar still targets these platforms to assist with the migration, if you are several versions behind.
There was an infrastructure issue with this beta and the prebuild targets for Windows were not uploaded. I'm tracking this in #212 - please don't open any extra issues in the meantime if you need them.
