Breaking Changes

Deprecated: clipboard API access from renderer processes

Using the clipboard API directly in the renderer process is deprecated. If you want to call this API from a renderer process, place the API call in your preload script and expose it using the contextBridge API.

Behavior Changed: MacOS dSYM files now compressed with tar.xz

Debug symbols for MacOS (dSYM) now use xz compression in order to handle larger file sizes. dsym.zip files are now dsym.tar.xz files. End users using debug symbols may need to update their zip utilities.
