Recent updates
2.0.2
6/22/2022Release 2.0.2 is described as a fix for a couple broken named character references. The code diff shows that the generator logic for entity names was corrected and the regenerated characterEntities export table changed substantially as a result.
2.0.1
10/29/2021Release 2.0.1 focuses on documentation and tightening type quality. The code diff also updates the build pipeline and several dev dependencies to support stricter typing and automated formatting/type coverage checks.
2.0.0
3/8/2021Release 2.0.0 migrates the package to ESM and introduces generated type definitions. It also changes the distributed artifact from a static `index.json` data file to an `index.js` module exporting `characterEntities`.
BreakingFeatures1.2.4
1/24/2020Release 1.2.4 is described in the notes as a prose refactor only. The actual diff shows mostly documentation and packaging metadata updates, plus several development tool dependency version adjustments.
1.2.3
5/8/2019Release 1.2.3 updates project metadata and documentation, including adding additional README badges, switching author URLs from HTTP to HTTPS, and renaming the LICENSE file to lowercase. It also includes several CI and build-tooling changes in the repository configuration that are not mentioned in the release notes.
Features1.2.2
4/18/2018Release 1.2.2 is presented as a refactor/code-style update only. However, the diff shows multiple tooling and build workflow changes (CI Node versions, npm install behavior, and major devDependency/script updates), which are not mentioned in the release notes.
1.2.1
7/11/2017Release 1.2.1 is primarily presented as documentation-only work, adding a “Related” projects list and refactoring readme.md. However, the code diff for this release includes multiple CI, test, linting, and build-tooling changes that are not mentioned in the release notes.
Features1.2.0
11/4/2016Release 1.2.0 removes the published entry file index.js and removes history.md from the repository/package. The code diff also shows a broader refactor of the build pipeline and package metadata so the package now treats index.json as the primary entry point.
Breaking1.0.0
7/23/2016Version 1.0.0 was released on 2016-07-23. The release notes provided in this entry are empty, so no documented changes, API updates, bug fixes, or security items can be determined from the published notes alone.
1.1.0
7/23/2016Release 1.1.0 is described as a “Re-crawl entities” update. The code diff shows the runtime export still points to index.json, but index.json itself was regenerated with a different set of HTML named character entity mappings. In addition, the repository’s dev toolchain and CI configuration changed substantially, though those are not documented in the release notes.
