Full functionality for EVS has been restored. There are still some concerns about the service itself from Widevine which may prompt future changes to the terms of the service. We'll keep you posted.
At the request of Widevine we have temporarily disabled EVS for signing ECS releases while they are investigating possible misuse of ECS. We are hopeful that the situation can be resolved quickly and EVS restored.
This week we publicly rolled out a new service, EVS, that allows users of Electron for Content Security to VMP-sign their applications for production use without applying for their own VMP certificate. EVS is a free service, but requires signup to use, and it supports both streaming-only and offline-capable applications depending on the kind of VMP signature that is requested.
For futher information, and usage instructions, check out the EVS wiki page.
The CDM release and deprecation schedule is no longer official information, but the current Google policy for CDM availability is that a supported CDM will be available through the Component Updater for a years worth of Chromium releases (which at the time of this writing means the last 11 releases, e.g. M118-M107 or ECS v27-v22). For older releases there is no guarantee that they will be able to retrieve a CDM update through the Component Updater, and the ability to do so can be revoked at any time. The Chromium release schedule page can be consulted to get a picture of upcoming and historical releases.
Once a CDM is deprecated and removed that version will no longer be able to retrieve licenses, effectively also ending support for Electron for Content Security versions that can no longer get or support more recent CDMs. To help keep track of this the table below depicts the Chromium and CDM versions used by different Electron for Content Security release series, and their current CDM removal status (to the extent that we are able to share that information).
The goal is to mimic the Electron team policy and support the three latest stable major versions, but in cases where this happens to be in conflict with CDM version deprecations deviations may occur.
