Changelog

1.x release

(Note: 1.x will only have backported bugfix releases beyond 1.7.0)

v1.7.3

Enhance: FetchError now gives a correct trace stack (backport from v2.x relese).

v1.7.2

Fix: when using node-fetch with test framework such as jest, instanceof check could fail in Headers class. This is causing some header values, such as set-cookie, to be dropped incorrectly.

v1.7.1

Fix: close local test server properly under Node 8.

v1.7.0

Fix: revert change in v1.6.2 where 204 no-content response is handled with a special case, this conflicts with browser Fetch implementation (as browsers always throw when res.json() parses an empty string). Since this is an operational error, it's wrapped in a FetchError for easier error handling.
Fix: move code coverage tool to codecov platform and update travis config

v1.6.3

Enhance: error handling document to explain FetchError design
Fix: support form-data 2.x releases (requires form-data >= 2.1.0)

v1.6.2

Enhance: minor document update
Fix: response.json() returns empty object on 204 no-content response instead of throwing a syntax error

v1.6.1

Fix: if res.body is a non-stream non-formdata object, we will call body.toString and send it as a string
Fix: counter value is incorrectly set to follow value when wrapping Request instance
Fix: documentation update

v1.6.0

Enhance: added res.buffer() api for convenience, it returns body as a Node.js buffer
Enhance: better old server support by handling raw deflate response
Enhance: skip encoding detection for non-HTML/XML response
Enhance: minor document update
Fix: HEAD request doesn't need decompression, as body is empty
Fix: req.body now accepts a Node.js buffer

v1.5.3

Fix: handle 204 and 304 responses when body is empty but content-encoding is gzip/deflate
Fix: allow resolving response and cloned response in any order
Fix: avoid setting content-length when form-data body use streams
Fix: send DELETE request with content-length when body is present
Fix: allow any url when calling new Request, but still reject non-http(s) url in fetch

v1.5.2

Fix: allow node.js core to handle keep-alive connection pool when passing a custom agent

v1.5.1

Fix: redirect mode manual should work even when there is no redirection or broken redirection

v1.5.0

Enhance: rejected promise now use custom Error (thx to @pekeler)
Enhance: FetchError contains err.type and err.code, allows for better error handling (thx to @pekeler)
Enhance: basic support for redirect mode manual and error, allows for location header extraction (thx to @jimmywarting for the initial PR)

v1.4.1

Fix: wrapping Request instance with FormData body again should preserve the body as-is

v1.4.0

Enhance: Request and Response now have clone method (thx to @kirill-konshin for the initial PR)

Enhance: Body constructor has been refactored out (thx to @kirill-konshin)
Enhance: Headers now has forEach method (thx to @tricoder42)
Enhance: back to 100% code coverage
Fix: better form-data support (thx to @item4)
Fix: better character encoding detection under chunked encoding (thx to @dsuket for the initial PR)

v1.3.3

Fix: make sure Content-Length header is set when body is string for POST/PUT/PATCH requests
Fix: handle body stream error, for cases such as incorrect Content-Encoding header
Fix: when following certain redirects, use GET on subsequent request per Fetch Spec
Fix: Request and Response constructors now parse headers input using Headers

v1.3.2

Enhance: allow auto detect of form-data input (no FormData spec on node.js, this is form-data specific feature)

v1.3.1

Enhance: allow custom host header to be set (server-side only feature, as it's a forbidden header on client-side)

v1.3.0

Enhance: now fetch.Request is exposed as well

v1.2.1

Enhance: Headers now normalized Number value to String, prevent common mistakes

v1.2.0

Enhance: now fetch.Headers and fetch.Response are exposed, making testing easier
