iconv-lite v0.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-08 // almost 4 years ago
    • 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).
