Experimental support for ES Modules (bytecode/sourceless support not implemented yet)

YES BRO, YES.

Finally, no need to rollup before compiling with ESM, nice 🚀

[leerob]

Love it! 🚢

https://github.com/Ylianst/Authenticode-JS
this allows you to change the exe data like company name, version number, icon, sign with certificate (for antiviruses)
NOTE: for the icon to change, you must change the icon of the build that gets downloaded BEFORE you build the app
its all pure javascript with NO external software,
could be included in upcoming release for end users to customise stuff now

sample code:

const path = require('path');
const authenticodejs = require("authenticode-js");
// load certificate into memory
const cert = authenticodejs.loadCertificates("certificates.pem");
// load icon into memory
const icon = authenticodejs.loadIcon("icon.ico");
// load exe into memory
const exehandler = authenticodejs.createAuthenticodeHandler(path.resolve('dist\\ourbackups-win.exe'));
if(exehandler == null){ console.error('error null exehandler'); return; }
// this section reads version stuff then changes and sets it
const info = exehandler.getVersionInfo();
info.FileDescription = "My Description"
info.FileVersion = "1.0.0.0";
info.ProductName = "My App";
info.ProductVersion = "1.0.0.0";
info.LegalCopyright = "My Company";
info.OriginalFilename = "";
info.CompanyName = "My Company";
exehandler.setVersionInfo(info);
// this section reads icon stuff then changes it and sets it
const icons = exehandler.getIconInfo();
icons[1] = icon;
exehandler.setIconInfo(icons);
// write the data and certificate to file
exehandler.writeExecutable({ out: 'mysigned.exe', time: "http://timestamp.sectigo.com" }, cert, (error) => { 
    if (error) { 
        console.error(error);
    } else {
        console.log('complete');
        exehandler.close();
    }
});
console.log('Writing EXE');

@si458 Awesome! ❤️

@si458 Here's a better option. Works for me perfectly.

[saostad]

There is a compatibility issue with workers that are annoying; please consider these:
#1419

[rightaway]

Is bytecode/sourceless support for ES Modules something that could be added?

[rafinskipg]

is it possible to include the ability to specify icons for mac /windows ?

[chenbimo]

what time the v6 will release?

[xuakson]

Lol, After changing the icon, I got this

pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1
