## 0.7.0


### 🐞 Bug fixes

* Handle split surrogate pairs when encoding utf8 - by [@yosion-p](https://github.com/yosion-p) and [@ashtuchkin](https://github.com/ashtuchkin) in [#282](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/pull/282):

    Handle a case where streaming utf8 encoder (converting js strings -> buffers) encounters 
    surrogate pairs split between chunks (last character of one chunk is high surrogate and first
    character of the next chunk is a low surrogate).

* Avoid false positives in encodingExists by using objects without a prototype - by [@bjohansebas](https://github.com/bjohansebas) in [#328](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/pull/328)

    The encodingExists method could return incorrect results if the lookup matched properties inherited
    from the prototype of the object that stores the encodings, such as constructor and others. This change
    replaces that object with one that has no prototype, ensuring that only explicitly defined valid encodings
    in the library are considered. In addition, the fix is applied to the internal cache system to avoid the same
    kind of false positives

### 🚀 Improvements

* Make explicit that decode() method supports Uint8Array input - by [@jardicc](https://github.com/jardicc) in [#271](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/pull/271)
* Remove compatibility check for StringDecoder.end method - by [@bjohansebas](https://github.com/bjohansebas) in [#331](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/pull/331)

## 0.6.3 / 2021-05-23
  * Fix HKSCS encoding to prefer Big5 codes if both Big5 and HKSCS codes are possible (#264)


## 0.6.2 / 2020-07-08
  * Support Uint8Array-s decoding without conversion to Buffers, plus fix an edge case.


## 0.6.1 / 2020-06-28
  * Support Uint8Array-s directly when decoding (#246, by @gyzerok)
  * Unify package.json version ranges to be strictly semver-compatible (#241)
  * Fix minor issue in UTF-32 decoder's endianness detection code.


## 0.6.0 / 2020-06-08
  * Updated 'gb18030' encoding to :2005 edition (see https://github.com/whatwg/encoding/issues/22).
  * Removed `iconv.extendNodeEncodings()` mechanism. It was deprecated 5 years ago and didn't work 
    in recent Node versions.
  * Reworked Streaming API behavior in browser environments to fix #204. Streaming API will be 
    excluded by default in browser packs, saving ~100Kb bundle size, unless enabled explicitly using 
    `iconv.enableStreamingAPI(require('stream'))`.
  * Updates to development environment & tests:
    * Added ./test/webpack private package to test complex new use cases that need custom environment. 
      It's tested as a separate job in Travis CI.
    * Updated generation code for the new EUC-KR index file format from Encoding Standard.
    * Removed Buffer() constructor in tests (#197 by @gabrielschulhof).


## 0.5.2 / 2020-06-08
  * Added `iconv.getEncoder()` and `iconv.getDecoder()` methods to typescript definitions (#229).
  * Fixed semver version to 6.1.2 to support Node 8.x (by @tanandara).
  * Capped iconv version to 2.x as 3.x has dropped support for older Node versions.
  * Switched from instanbul to c8 for code coverage.


## 0.5.1 / 2020-01-18

  * Added cp720 encoding (#221, by @kr-deps)
  * (minor) Changed Changelog.md formatting to use h2. 


## 0.5.0 / 2019-06-26

  * Added UTF-32 encoding, both little-endian and big-endian variants (UTF-32LE, UTF32-BE). If endianness
    is not provided for decoding, it's deduced automatically from the stream using a heuristic similar to
    what we use in UTF-16. (great work in #216 by @kshetline)
  * Several minor updates to README (#217 by @oldj, plus some more)
  * Added Node versions 10 and 12 to Travis test harness.

## 0.4.23 / 2018-05-07

## 0.4.22 / 2018-05-05

## 0.4.21 / 2018-04-06

  * Fix encoding canonicalization (#156)
  * Fix the paths in the "browser" field in package.json (#174 by @LMLB)
  * Removed "contributors" section in package.json - see Git history instead.


## 0.4.20 / 2018-04-06

  * Updated `new Buffer()` usages with recommended replacements as it's being deprecated in Node v10 (#176, #178 by @ChALkeR)


## 0.4.19 / 2017-09-09

  * Fixed iso8859-1 codec regression in handling untranslatable characters (#162, caused by #147)
  * Re-generated windows1255 codec, because it was updated in iconv project
  * Fixed grammar in error message when iconv-lite is loaded with encoding other than utf8


## 0.4.18 / 2017-06-13

  * Fixed CESU-8 regression in Node v8.


## 0.4.17 / 2017-04-22

## 0.4.16 / 2017-04-22

 * Deprecated Node v0.8 support
 * Typescript typings (@larssn)
 * Fix encoding of Euro character in GB 18030 (inspired by @lygstate)
 * Add ms prefix to dbcs windows encodings (@rokoroku)


## 0.4.13 / 2015-10-01

 * Fix silly mistake in deprecation notice.


## 0.4.12 / 2015-09-26

 * Node v4 support:
   * Added CESU-8 decoding (#106)
   * Added deprecation notice for `extendNodeEncodings`
   * Added Travis tests for Node v4 and io.js latest (#105 by @Mithgol)


## 0.4.11 / 2015-07-03

 * Added CESU-8 encoding.


## 0.4.10 / 2015-05-26

 * Changed UTF-16 endianness heuristic to take into account any ASCII chars, not
   just spaces. This should minimize the importance of "default" endianness.


## 0.4.9 / 2015-05-24

 * Streamlined BOM handling: strip BOM by default, add BOM when encoding if 
   addBOM: true. Added docs to Readme.
 * UTF16 now uses UTF16-LE by default.
 * Fixed minor issue with big5 encoding.
 * Added io.js testing on Travis; updated node-iconv version to test against.
   Now we just skip testing SBCS encodings that node-iconv doesn't support.
 * (internal refactoring) Updated codec interface to use classes.
 * Use strict mode in all files.

 * added alias UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7 for UTF-7 encoding (#94)


## 0.4.7 / 2015-02-05

   reason: Packages needed for testing are hard to get on Travis CI.
 * work in environment where Object.prototype is monkey patched with enumerable 
   props (#89).

 * fix rare aliases of single-byte encodings (thanks @mscdex)
