v2.0.3 Release

This is a maintenance release, with no functional changes. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the 2.x release track appears on npmjs.com as the latest release.

v1.2.3 Release

This is a maintenance release, to address compatibility issues with Node.js 12.x, which removed some deprecated functions from the V8 add-on API used by the 1.x branch of this library. No functional changes are included in this release.

v2.0.2 Release

This is a maintenance release with no API or functionality changes.

• 🏇 Significant performance enhancements, resulting in 700% improvement in speed according to benchmarks against v2.0.1.
• 📦 Added CI coverage for Node.js 12.x, and removed CI coverage for Node.js v6.x and v9.x, both of which have reached their end-of-life.

Special thanks to @davidmurdoch.

v2.0.1 Release

• 🖊️ TypeScript fans rejoice! @septs has brought us #46, which includes some definitions for you.
• 🐛 The encoding parameter, if you're using it with something other than the default value of "utf-8", now actually works as documented.
• 🤖 Our CI build now verifies that the library works as expected in Node.js v11.x. In case you were wondering.

Fix compatibility with Node.js 4.x and 6.x

We were so excited to fix compatibility with Node.js 10.x that in v1.2.1 we broke compatibility with 4.x and 6.x! We apologize for the impact this may have had on your project. Breaking semver is never good.

This release brings back support for good ol' Node.js 4.x and 6.x.
