Breaking Changes
Due to a bug in an underlying library, downloading from the VoltBuilder Status screen no longer works. Instead, set up a download directory in AppStudio Preferences. Your output will automatically be put there.

If you are using Electron, make sure the following versions are set in package.json property (Project Properties, in the Electron section):

  "electron": "^40.8.0",
  "electron-builder": "^26.8.1",
