Description

Older Electron build workflows can use the GN version shipped with Chromium 76 to generate Ninja files. It is useful when maintaining Electron 4, 5 or 6 projects that expect this historical GN behavior.

This is a compatibility build tool. New projects should usually use current tooling, while legacy projects should keep versions pinned for reproducible builds.
