ElectronNET.Core 0.0.18-pre.123 Pre-release

Pre-release

ElectronNET.Core

Highlights

Complete MSBuild Integration: Eliminated CLI tool dependency, moved all build processes to MSBuild with deep Visual Studio integration
Modernized Architecture: Restructured process lifecycle with .NET launching first and running Electron as child process for better control and reliability
Cross-Platform Development: Build and debug Linux applications directly from Windows Visual Studio via WSL integration
Flexible Electron Versioning: Removed version lock-in, users can now select any Electron version with build-time validation
Enhanced Debugging Experience: ASP.NET-first debugging with Hot Reload support and improved process termination handling
Console App Support: No longer requires ASP.NET - now works with simple console applications for file system or remote server HTML/JS

Build System & Project Structure

Eliminated electron.manifest.json configuration file, replaced with MSBuild project properties
Introduced new package structure: ElectronNET.Core (main package), ElectronNET.Core.Api (API definitions), ElectronNET.Core.AspNet (ASP.NET integration)
Added Runtime Identifier (RID) selection as part of project configuration
Restructured build folder layout to use standard .NET format (bin\net8.0\win-x64) instead of bin\Desktop
Implemented incremental build support for Electron assets to improve build performance
Added custom MSBuild tasks for Electron-specific build operations

Development Experience

Implemented unpackaged run-mode for development using regular .NET builds with unpackaged Electron configuration
Added support for building Linux packages on Windows via WSL integration
Enabled running and debugging Linux application outputs on Windows through WSL
Integrated TypeScript compilation with ASP.NET tooling for consistent builds
Added process orchestration supporting 8 different launch scenarios (packaged/unpackaged � console/ASP.NET � dotnet-first/electron-first)

Debugging & Runtime

Dramatically improved debugging experience with ASP.NET-first launch mode
Added Hot Reload support for ASP.NET code during development
Implemented proper process termination handling for all exit scenarios
Minimized startup times through optimized build and launch procedures

Technical Improvements

Enhanced splash screen handling with automatic path resolution
Improved ElectronHostHook integration as proper npm package dependency
Updated to latest TypeScript version with ESLint configuration
Added support for custom main.js files in projects
Implemented version management through common.props file
Added build-time Electron version compatibility validation

Package & Distribution

Integrated MSBuild publishing mechanisms for creating Electron packages
Added folder publishing support with improved parameter handling
Implemented automated package.json generation from MSBuild properties
Added GitHub release automation with proper versioning
Reduced package sizes by eliminating unnecessary TypeScript dependencies

Migration & Compatibility

Maintained backward compatibility for existing ElectronHostHook implementations
Removed ASP.NET requirement: Now works with simple console applications for file system or remote server HTML/JS scenarios
Added support for both console and ASP.NET Core application types
Preserved all existing Electron API functionality while modernizing architecture
Added migration path for existing projects through updated package structure
This represents a comprehensive modernization of Electron.NET, addressing the major pain points around debugging, build complexity, and platform limitations while maintaining full API compatibility.
