Fixes the Let's Encrypt / Electron certificate bug. Since it's an upgrade to the Electron framework unfortunately it cannot be a patch release or be backported to other Joplin desktop versions.

This is a tip for those using high contrast themes in Windows. The new version of Electron enforces high contrast colouring, which results in a basically two-colour theme, with all Joplin colours lost.
If you want to keep the standard Joplin themes, you need to add
The Let's Encrypt root certificate expiration it’s a good news for Joplin, because security issues have not been fixed in Electron v10 since this summer. Thanks for this update
The little downside is, Joplin has increased by 28 MB (+18 %).
Came here looking for how to deal with the certificate error and directly found that it has already been fixed. Installed 2.5.1, and certificate errors are gone. Great job!
Quick report: After installing 2.5.1 via ./Joplin_install_and_update.sh --prerelease and restarting Joplin, my layout was lost (the panels for the outline-plugin and the note tabs plugin are now vertical at the right side, i.e. their initial unconfigured positions). I think I upgraded from 2.3.9 (not sure).
The problem might also have another reason - just wanted to mention it here.
Not unusable, but all text is forced to follow the Windows high contrast settings, all background colours and graphics are lost, and any colour-related custom CSS is very limited too. Changing themes inside the application also has no effect.
The most annoying is probably a fact that there is no indication which notebook and note are currently selected (due to no background colouring), and that hovering the mouse over different elements (e.g. buttons) doesn't produce any visible output either.
Basically, as far as I know and remember, you need to use borders instead of background colours if you want to give the user a visual indicator on what is currently hovered, selected, or focused when high contrast is active.
Sorry to hear that. Little by little we lose support for Apple platforms (same for iOS) as we upgrade frameworks. The only option indeed is to either regularly upgrade your OS or switch to Windows or Linux.
Hi,
This would also mean changing my 2010 Macbook. No, I don't intend to follow the mad rush that Apple has been inviting us to over the past few years.
I'm new to Joplin. Sync between my MacBook Pro and iPhone was going great till this "certificate expired" thing and now sync doesnt work. I see I can dowload and use the pre-released v2.5 which fixes the sync issue but how do I install this? Can I get a, "how to instal on a macbook pro - for dummies" becuase when I click around to find a dowload link, all i see is a bunch of weird named folders and now instructions anywhere... I use Nextcloud with Joplin for syncing. When I check the,
"Ignore TLS certificate errors" ... the synce between divices still doesnt work. Also I dont want Joplin cloud. I want my free Nextcloud service. HOW DO I INSTALL PRE-RELEASE?????
I want to use Joplin but if sync doesnt even work between macbook pro and iphone, why would I want it anymore?
You'll have to show some patience (and ideally some gratitude) since this is a volunteer effort. The bug was with Electron, the Joplin dependency so there was a time delay between the error being fixed and the impact it had on Joplin.
That being said, Ignore TLS certs worked for me on Win/Linux/iPad/iPhone, so it could be that your sync settings are wrong.
However, to answer your question, check Tools > Options > Application > Get Pre-releases
The main reason I stopped buying Apple computers is that they have a fixed upgrade schedule in mind where they will effectively force you to buy new hardware at certain intervals by gradually breaking everything in the older versions, making it impossible for developers to maintain an extensive catalog of software compatible with old versions.
On my nice linux desktop I am trying out this virtualization option for macOS. 2010 hardware vs. virtualization is not that different. Still testing out what can be done on the virtual option:
