v1.2.0

1.2.0 (2024-01-13)

Quick Info

This release removes a diacritic fallback that was part of the code and only keep the modern approach using the normalize() function which is supported by all modern browsers. The fallback implementation was using a long list of unicode mapping with string replacement and that was taking a lot of space, by removing this unnecessary fallback we actually decrease our library size by quite a lot (see below). If for whatever reason removing this causes any problems, users could add their own custom implementation via the diacriticParser option (see new Diacritic Parser Example).
