jsonld - npm Package Versions

6.0.0 - 2022-06-06

Changed

• BREAKING: Drop testing and support for Node.js 12.x. The majority of the code will still run on Node.js 12.x. However, the @digitalbazaar/http-client@3 update uses a newer ky-universal which uses a top-level await that is unsupported in older Node.js versions. That causes the included node documentLoader to not function and tests to fail. If you wish to still use earlier Node.js versions, you may still be able to do so with your own custom documentLoader.
• BREAKING: npm prepublish script changed to prepack. The dist/ contents will not be generated by default for development installs. Run npm run build if needed. This was done to avoid extra work only needed for packing and publication, and for temporary webpack version issues. A new CI build test has been added to check builds pass. The prepack script could be prepare instead if use cases exist where that is needed. File an issue if this is a concern.
• Update to @digitalbazaar/http-client@3:
  • Pulls in newer ky and ky-universal that should address security alerts and provide other improvements.
  • Use global URL interface to handle relative redirects.

5.2.0 - 2021-04-07

Changed

• Update rdf-canonize.

5.1.0 - 2021-04-07

Changed

• Use globalThis to set globals in browser contexts.
• Split platform support out into Node.js and browser files.
• Update @digitalbazaar/http-client dependency to address engine compatibility issues with newer Node.js versions.
• Update dependencies.

Fixed

• Browser override path style.

5.0.0 - 2021-03-18

Notes

• Support is dropped for Node.js versions earlier than v12. This reduces the maintenance burden of being limited by older APIs, development tools, and dependencies. If you need to use an earlier Node.js then either use a previous jsonld.js version or use translation tools and polyfills as needed. (The built-in process to make browser bundles may work for this.) Bug fixes and updates may be back-ported to previous versions from time to time or on request (preferably with a patch).

Changed

• Node.js documentLoader now uses @digitalbazaar/http-client instead of request.
• BREAKING: Only support Node.js >= 12. Remove related unneeded polyfills, tests, and node6 output. Update dependencies that needed newer Node.js versions.
• Use Babel usage mode rather than listing individual polyfills. May increase bundle size due to more accurate support of intended output targets.
• Default Node.js document loader user-agent header set to "jsonld.js".

Added

• Distribute a jsonld.esm.min.js bundle optimized for the features available in browsers that support ES Modules.
• Default Node.js document loader httpAgent and httpsAgent options.
• Add note to README about setting a custom user-agent header for the default Node.js document loader.

Removed

• Use of deprecated library request in Node.js documentLoader.
• BREAKING: Parameter request has been removed from the Node.js documentLoader.
• Node.js documentLoader should no longer be included in browser build.

4.0.1 - 2021-02-11

Changed

• State which protected term is being redefined.
• Switch to core-js@3.

4.0.0 - 2021-02-11

Removed

• BREAKING: RDFa parser moved to jsonld-rdfa package, remove xmldom dependency.

3.3.2 - 2021-02-10

Fixed

• Add yallist to packages run through babel for bundles. Fixes use of function*.

3.3.1 - 2021-02-10

Fixed

• Add lru-cache to packages run through babel for bundles. Fixes use of arrow functions.

3.3.0 - 2021-01-21

Changed

• Update rdf-canonize to 2.0.1.
• NOTE: The rdf-canonize update changes browser support and removes forge in favor of the WebCrypto crypto.subtle API. A WebCrypto polyfill may be required if a jsonld.js API is used that calls rdf-canonize. The polyfill is needed if older browsers are targeted or when not using a secure context on some modern browsers. Due to other concerns and the expected minimal impact of this change, it is happening in a minor release. Please provide feedback if this decision causes problems.
• Node.js 6 is no longer tested due to development tool dependency updates and to avoid adding additional testing complexity. Node.js 6 will otherwise still be supported until the next major release. Please report any issues found.

3.2.0 - 2020-10-13

Fixed

• Empty-property scoped context should not effect the outer context. Note that in situations where this fix is used there is now an extra clone of the active context which could potentially cause performance issues.
