Bumps @electron-forge/maker-dmg from 7.11.2 to 8.0.1.

Release notes

Sourced from @​electron-forge/maker-dmg's releases.

v8.0.1

Electron Forge 8

It’s time for a new major version! Forge is now ESM-only on Node.js 22, the Vite plugin is out of experimental, create-electron-app owns project scaffolding, and Forge installs with far fewer dependencies.

Read the Breaking changes section before upgrading.

Highlights

  • ESM and Node.js 22. Every @electron-forge/* package is ESM-only and requires Node.js 22.17 or newer. Existing Forge configurations keep working in CommonJS or ESM projects. (#4059)
  • The Vite plugin is promoted to stable. @electron-forge/plugin-vite is no longer experimental and is covered by semver. It now targets Vite 8, builds each target in an isolated process, supports opt-in main-process hot restart (hotRestart: true) and honours a custom server.host. (#4382, #4167, #4163, #4226, #4346, #4363)
  • electron-forge publish is now electron-forge release to avoid conflict with the npm publish command. make always saves its results, so release --from-make can publish artifacts built by an earlier make, for example on another CI job. publish still works as a deprecated alias. (#4305, #4395)
  • One template per bundler. create-electron-app --template vite --typescript replaces the separate *-typescript templates. New projects use oxlint and oxfmt, moduleResolution: bundler and a release script, and init gains --package-manager and --electron-version flags. (#4229, #4186, #4175, #4107, #4037)
  • webpack output in your terminal. The webpack plugin renders compiler output as tabs in the terminal instead of a browser logger on port 9000. (#4389)
  • Lighter install. got, fs-extra, fast-glob, find-up, chalk, lodash, rechoir and others were replaced with Node.js built-ins. (#4189, #4250, #4227, #4248, #4245, #4066)
  • Makers and publishers. PKG notarization (#4234), MSIX outputFileName (#4295), typed copyright for deb and rpm (#4298), byte-level GitHub upload progress (#4304), and the artifact version in S3 and GCS keyResolver (#4033).

Breaking changes

Everyone

  • Node.js 22.17.0 or newer is required (was 16.4.0). (#4059)
  • All packages are ESM-only. The CLI needs no changes. If you call the programmatic API with require('@electron-forge/core'), that relies on Node's require(esm); switch to import to be safe. (#4059)
  • Custom makers, publishers, plugins and string packagerConfig hooks must have a default export (export default or module.exports =). (#4059)
  • Config templating was removed. Strings in your config are no longer rendered as lodash templates (${version}, ${year}, other package.json fields), and require:./path strings are no longer resolved. Use JavaScript in forge.config.* instead. (#4066)
  • Only forge.config.{js,mjs,cjs,ts,mts,cts} are loaded. Config files in other languages (CoffeeScript, Babel-registered files, etc.) are no longer supported through rechoir. (#4066)
  • init and import moved to create-electron-app. Use npx create-electron-app@latest my-app and npx create-electron-app@latest import. The electron-forge init and electron-forge import commands, and their core API functions, were removed. Importing Forge 5 projects (#4083) and loading globally installed templates (#4065) are no longer supported. (#4148)
  • init no longer guesses your package manager. It asks when run interactively and uses npm otherwise. Pass --package-manager pnpm, yarn or an exact version such as yarn@1.22.22 in scripts and CI. (#4107)
  • Deprecated, still working: publish → release, make --skip-package → --from-package, release --from-dry-run → --from-make, release --dry-run → make. Dry runs saved by Forge 7 cannot be resumed; run make again with Forge 8. (#4305, #4395)
  • Plugins are initialized once per command. make and release no longer re-resolve the config for their nested steps, so init() and resolveForgeConfig run once. (#4394)

Vite and webpack plugins

  • Main and preload bundles are emitted as .cjs. Both plugins stop with an error explaining the fix if your project still uses the old paths. (#4393)
    • Vite: set "main": ".vite/build/main.cjs" and load preloads with path.join(__dirname, 'preload.cjs').
    • webpack: set "main": ".webpack/main/index.cjs".
  • The Vite plugin targets Vite 8. Upgrade vite to 8.x and port custom Rollup options to Vite 8. (#4167)
  • The webpack loggerPort option was removed along with @electron-forge/web-multi-logger. In the terminal UI, press r to restart the app. (#4389)
  • webpack-dev-server 5. Custom devServer options must follow the v5 API. (#4308)

Makers

  • DMG output moved to out/make/dmg/<arch>/ (#4275) and PKG output moved to out/make/pkg/<arch>/ (#4383). Update any CI globs that upload from out/make/.
  • @electron-forge/maker-appx is deprecated and now builds .msix through electron-windows-msix. Several Desktop App Converter options are ignored with a warning, no development certificate is generated when devCert is unset, and a publisher is required. Move to @electron-forge/maker-msix. (#4392)
  • maker-deb rejects unsupported architectures, including arm (armel). Supported: ia32, x64, arm64, armv7l, mips64el. (#4059)
  • maker-wix only builds x64, ia64 and x86. (#3859)
  • maker-deb and maker-rpm use electron-installer-debian and electron-installer-redhat v4. (#4379)
  • Type renames: MakerFlatpakOptionsConfig is now MakerFlatpakConfigOptions, and maker-dmg no longer re-exports the electron-installer-dmg option types. (#4321)

Note

Medium Risk
Major bump on a release-time packaging tool with mixed Forge 7/8 versions and a higher Node requirement; DMG output path changes could break release automation if anything assumes the old directory layout.

Overview
Upgrades the desktop app’s macOS DMG maker from 7.11.2 to 8.0.1 in apps/desktop/package.json, with matching package-lock.json updates (including nested Forge 8 packages).

@electron-forge/cli, maker-zip, and plugin-fuses stay on 7.11.2, so only the DMG maker moves to Forge 8. Forge 8’s maker-dmg expects Node ≥ 22.13 and can emit DMGs under out/make/dmg/<arch>/ instead of the older layout—worth confirming macOS packaging/CI Node versions and any scripts that glob artifact paths (distribution logic consumes paths returned from forge.make, not fixed globs in-repo).

Incompatible Electron Forge major versions

High Severity

@electron-forge/maker-dmg is now 8.0.1 while @electron-forge/cli, @electron-forge/maker-zip, and @electron-forge/plugin-fuses remain 7.11.2. Forge 8 makers are ESM-only and pair with maker-base 8, so Forge 7 forge.make() cannot load or run this maker. make:desktop will fail and the signed DMG release path will not produce artifacts.
