Production build and release process

Run npm i --force to install dependencies.
Update config.js file.
Update version value in package.json if needed.
Run npm run build to build the web bundle and main script in the dist/electron directory.
Run npm run package:windows, npm run package:linux and npm run package:mac to build release files.
Create a draft release on Github.
Merge into master.

Development mode

Run npm i --force to install dependencies.
Run npm start to launch the application in dev mode.

Note: Because app backend and web bundle are splitted, any change in the backend part will relaunch the whole app. At the moment, it does not kill the previous openned window.

Telemetry

To improve the quality of Eagle Animation, runtime errors are automatically reported to developpers by using Sentry SDK. You can disable error reporting, just set SENTRY_DSN to "" in src/config.js and rebuild the app.
