Fixed

3.0.0 - 2018-11-24

Changed

• Move registry-js and win-version-info out of optionalDependencies. Both are safe to install on all platforms and export a noop on non-windows.
• Update debug, resolve and yargs
• Add standard

3.0.0-rc1 - 2018-05-20

Changed

• Error-first callback: cb(err, browsers) instead of cb(browsers)
• Remove streams: with new metadata being discovered via multiple avenues, results have to be merged before we can emit something;
• More than 2x faster by using native modules: registry-js to read the Windows Registry and win-version-info to read executable metadata. No longer spawns child processes.

Added

• Add Node 6, 8, 9, 10
• Add release channel for Chrome, Firefox and Opera
• Add executable metadata and CPU type to all browsers
• Support phantomjs-prebuilt (2.x) as well as phantomjs (1.x)
• Detect Firefox ESR
• Add Firefox Developer Edition default location;
• Add Firefox Nightly default location.

Removed

• Drop Node 0.10, 4, 5
• Drop XP and Vista
• Remove version option;
• Remove lucky option.

2.1.0 - 2015-05-05

Changed

• Replace fs.exists() with path-exists (7ec303c)
• Prefer native cscript (8676bfb) (#18)

Fixed

• Uppercase environment variables (a2395b8)

2.0.0 - 2015-05-03

Changed

• Speed improvement (2-4x), because it uses a single cscript process to query the registry (replaces reg queries) and a single cscript process to get the version numbers (replaces wmic queries).
• Exports a readable object stream, but 1.x callback style is still supported
• Only emits executables (*.exe)
• No longer uses command-line version flags or version numbers found in the registry or elsewhere. This simplifies the process and makes the version numbers consistent and more detailed.
