16.0.1

Fixed URL.parse() to return a proper URL object, instead of an internal implementation object. This fixes, among other things, URL.parse(x) instanceof URL.

16.0.0

Breaking change: now requires Node.js versions ^20.19.0 || ^22.12.0 || >=24.0.0.

Added encoding support for query string parsing, via the new encoding options to parseURL() and basicURLParse(). (The URL API is not affected, as it always uses UTF-8.) Thanks to @ChALkeR and his excellent @exodus/bytes package for providing the foundation!

15.1.0

Updated our tr46 dependency, which updates our international domain name support to reflect Unicode 17.0.0.

15.0.0

Breaking change: now requires Node.js v20 or later.

Made minor updates to failure cases for "host"/"hostname" and "port" state override parsing, following URL Standard changes whatwg/url@c23aec1 and whatwg/url@cc8b776. These have no impact on usage of the high-level APIs.

14.2.0

Updated our tr46 dependency, which updates our international domain name support to reflect Unicode 16.0.0. Also includes the related changes to the URL Standard:

• whatwg/url@cd8f1d6
• whatwg/url@a6e4492
• whatwg/url@c3d173f
• whatwg/url@7f3e3b6

Added U+005E (^) to the path percent-encode set, per whatwg/url@9bc33c3.

Ensured opaque paths always roundtrip, per whatwg/url@6c78200.

14.1.1

Improved performance for very long inputs.

14.1.0

Added URL.parse(), per whatwg/url@58acb06.

14.0.0

Breaking change: removed Node.js v16 support.

13.0.0

Breaking change: removed Node.js v14 support.

Added URL.canParse(), per whatwg/url@ae3c28b.

Added URLSearchParams's size getter, per whatwg/url@12b6f0c.

Added optional second value argument to URLSearchParams's has() and delete() methods, per whatwg/url@bfb9157.

Changed the serialization of the origin of blob: URLs whose inner URLs were not http: or https: to be "null", per whatwg/url@eee49fd.

12.0.1

Updated our tr46 dependency, which brings along several fixes related to international domain names. Such as:

• Empty domain name labels, as in https://xn--4-0bd15808a.../, no longer cause URL parsing to fail.
• Invalid punycode-encoded domain name labels, as in http://xn--ls8h=/, now correctly cause URL parsing to fail.
• Includes support for Unicode 15.0.0.

As part of this, we are now running against the newly-introduced test data derived from the Unicode Consortium-maintained IdnaTestV2.txt file, and passing them all.
