Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, completed a major monorepo restructure for mullvadvpn-app, consolidating workspace dependencies and moving the GUI under desktop/packages/mullvad-vpn to streamline builds and maintenance. Implemented NSEvent modernization and security/governance improvements, laying groundwork for more robust macOS event handling and secure contribution processes. Delivered key reliability fixes and dependency hardening across the stack, including a fixed verify-locked-down-signatures job, OSV-scanner enablement, and project-wide upgrades to Electron, Node/NPM, TypeScript, and ESLint. Updated CI workflows and localization tooling to align with the new workspace, reducing noise and improving developer velocity. Strengthened release quality with codeowners for commit-signature verification and ensuring non-vulnerable dependencies, with Android GUI references updated to the new path structure.
