Bumps electron from 41.5.0 to 42.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from electron's releases.

electron v42.1.0

Release Notes for v42.1.0

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash in the macOS Touch ID WebAuthn prompt caused by a missing string resource, and added touchID.promptReason to app.configureWebAuthn() to customize the prompt text. #51594 (Also in 41, 43)
  • Fixed a crash on MacOS when a user clicked into a title bar or top view. #51605 (Also in 43)

Other Changes

  • Improved performance of webRequest header conversions and several other gin converter hot paths. #51607 (Also in 43)
  • Improved performance of native event emission, IPC dispatch, and option-dictionary parsing. #51614 (Also in 41)

electron v42.0.1

Release Notes for v42.0.1

Fixes

  • Fixed DesktopCapturer crash on macOS. #51506
  • Fixed ELECTRON_INSTALL_PLATFORM being ignored when resolving the Electron executable path during postinstall, which caused path.txt to be written for the host platform instead of the requested target and made isInstalled() always re-download on subsequent installs. #51370
  • Fixed app.getLoginItemSettings() returning undefined for executableWillLaunchAtLogin on macOS; the property is now always a boolean. #51507 (Also in 40, 41)
  • Fixed a potential race condition crash when closing DevTools. #51473 (Also in 41)

Other Changes

  • Updated Chromium to 148.0.7778.97. #51517

electron v42.0.0

Release Notes for v42.0.0

Stack Upgrades

Breaking Changes

Behavior Changed: macOS notifications now use UNNotification API

Electron has migrated from the deprecated NSUserNotification API to the UNNotification API on macOS. The new API requires that an application be code-signed in order for notifications to be displayed. If an application is not code-signed, notifications will emit a failed event on the Notification object. #47817

Behavior Changed: electron no longer downloads itself via postinstall script

Previously, the electron npm package would download the Electron binary from the repository's GitHub Releases in the package's postinstall script. With recent supply chain security attacks against the npm ecosystem with postinstall scripts as a common attack vector, Electron will now download itself dynamically the first time that its main bin script is run (e.g. via npx electron). See [RFC #22](electron/rfcs#22) for more context. #49328

Behavior Changed: Offscreen rendering default device scale factor

Previously, OSR used the primary display's device scale factor for rendering. Starting from Electron 42, the default changes to a constant value of 1.0 for more consistent output sizes. Use webPreferences.offscreen.deviceScaleFactor to specify a custom value. #49683

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
