Particl Desktop Sandboxed RC5 (Mac & Win only)

Introduction

These builds use Muon instead of Electron. This means that the browser engine now runs within a sandbox, this improves the security against typical browser exploits.

This pre-release is forced to testnet. It does not include a linux version because linux systems do not need to switch to muon as of today.

Testing

Swapping out a framework is a tedious task, we'd really like to get it tested on as many different configurations as possible.

One thing to test thoroughly are the notifications, as we've swapped them out for another library (they were crashing on Electron and unavailable on Muon). To test notifications please run the applications like this:

on Windows:

particl-desktop.exe -devtools

or on Mac:

open -a /Users/YOURUSER/Downloads/particl-desktop.app --args -devtools

Then in the devtools window please execute the following:

window.sendNot('hi', 'hi');

This should create a notification.
