Description

Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

It's easier than you think.

If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app. Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application.

*: bump PORTREVISION for the textproc/libxml2 2.15 shared library change (#848)

`textproc/libxml2` 2.15 changed SONAME from `libxml2.so.2` to `libxml2.so.16` **and** removed ELF symbol versioning entirely — the new library defines no `LIBXML2_*` versions at all. Consumers built against the old library were never rebuilt, so they still record a dependency on `libxml2.so.2` plus version requirements nothing can satisfy, and fail at load time: ``` ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: version LIBXML2_2.4.30 required by /usr/local/lib/libevdocument3.so.4 not defined ``` ### Scope `Tools/scripts/bump_revision.pl -f -l textproc/libxml2` — **436 Makefiles**: 323 revisions incremented, 113 gained a `PORTREVISION` line. The diff touches nothing but `PORTREVISION` lines (verified: `git diff -U0` shows no other changed line), and spot-checked ports still …

devel/electron42: new port; update drawio to 31.3.2; retire electron28 (#808)

## Summary Three coupled changes, in dependency order: 1. **New port `devel/electron42`** — Electron 42.11.0, Chromium 148.0.7778.280, Node 24.19.0, LLVM 22, imported from FreeBSD ports and adapted for MidnightBSD. 2. **`graphics/drawio` 24.1.0 → 31.3.2**, moving from `electronfix:28` to `electronfix:42`. 3. **`devel/electron28` removed** — the drawio update was the last thing keeping it alive. electron28 was the most exposed port in the tree. Electron 28 has been EOL upstream since 2024-06-11, and the port was not a source build at all: `devel/electron28/Makefile` extracted `electron28-28.1.0-freebsd12-amd64.pkg`, a prebuilt FreeBSD 12 binary from a third-party GitHub release, carrying Chromium 120 — 32 Chromium …
