Version 13.0.0 marks a major milestone, as it's the first version of better-sqlite3 to run on the N-API. This means prebuilt binaries should theoretically work across different versions of Node.js and Electron, and perhaps even other runtimes like Bun. As a result, we've removed the deprecated prebuild-install dependency, and now prebuilt binaries are published directly with the better-sqlite3 code itself. If your platform/architecture doesn't have a prebuilt binary, it should compile during install as before.
