5.4.0+ of capacitor. - The template and inner workings have changed a lot, a migration guide will be done but for now creating a new project to tinker with before migrating main projects is a good idea.
- Plugins from previous versions
@capacitor-community/electronwill not function in V4 or above, however all web plugins will continue to function as normal. - V4 and later comes with no plugins out of the box. Instead V4 and later and above follow Capacitor in seperated plugins, see Plugin Examples Directory for examples.
