The Electron version numbers are essentially meaningless now. I have no idea what even changed between Electron 4 and 8, the changelogs are all just bug fixes that didn't necessitate so many major version releases.

Also there are some NPM packages that have to create builds for specific versions of Electron, and those builds come out after Electron does, so I'm always 1 or 2 versions behind on Electron which leads into dependency hell situations.

Trying to stay up to date is exhausting.
