Historian v2.0.0

Historian v2.0.0

A full dependency modernization — the biggest change since v1 launched. Most of the stack moved by at least one major version.

Highlights

• Svelte 4 → 5 — renderer updated to use the v5 mount() API; all components run cleanly in legacy mode (no forced runes conversion)
• Tailwind CSS 3 → 4 — CSS-first theme via @theme, migrated through the official @tailwindcss/upgrade tool; @tailwindcss/cli and @tailwindcss/postcss replace the v3 setup
• Electron 28 → 41 — 13 major versions jumped, closing a chain of security advisories along the way
• Security: 24 vulnerabilities → 0 — npm audit is clean

Other updates

• All Rollup plugins updated: @rollup/plugin-commonjs 25 → 28, @rollup/plugin-node-resolve 15 → 16, @rollup/plugin-terser 0.4 → 1.0, plus the full minor refresh across rollup, typescript, postcss, and the Svelte tooling
• electron-builder 24 → 26
• svelte-check 3 → 4, svelte-preprocess 5 → 6
• electron-is-dev removed — unused and blocked by its v3 ESM-only move; devtools toggle now references the zero-dep !app.isPackaged pattern
• GitHub Actions: actions/checkout v4 → v6
• Dropped tailwind.config.js (theme lives in CSS now) and autoprefixer (handled by Tailwind 4 via Lightning CSS)
• Bumped minimum Node from v14 to v20

Fix

• Post-migration runtime fix: Svelte 5 removed the new Component({ target }) instantiation API. Entry point switched to mount(App, { target }) — the build, bundle, and svelte-check had all passed but the app rendered blank until the fix landed.
