17.2.0

• Added SingletonType, which serializes a single value, e.g. a string literal. It is a more efficient encoding of an EnumType with only one possible value. See the documentation for more information.
• Added TypeScript __promisify__() declarations to I/O functions so they can now be used with util.promisify() in TypeScript code
• Rewrote README to simplify examples and clarify explanations
• Fixed tests so Node 8 is supported in addition to 9 and 10
• SHA256 is now implemented in WebAssembly, so computing type signatures will run faster on platforms that support WebAssembly (e.g. Chrome and Node.js 8+)
• Refactored I/O functions to avoid unnecessary ArrayBuffer slicing
• Lazy computation of EnumType.valueIndices map
• Updated dev dependencies
• A lot of refactoring to make the code more concise

17.1.0

• New syntax for registering RecursiveTypes: RecursiveType.setType()
• Fixed bug when writing values using a RecursiveType inside a ChoiceType
• Much smaller bundle size due to excluding unneeded Node.js libraries
• Faster GrowableBuffer.toBuffer() if internal buffer is completely occupied
• Documentation fixes
• Internal rewrites

17.0.0

• Changed sb.r.value({type, buffer}) to type.readValue(buffer) (large internal rewrite)
• There is now a separate READ_VALUE generic from the VALUE generic, so this may require changes to generics in code that uses structure-bytes
• Added FlexIntType (like FlexUnsignedIntType but for signed ints)
• Fixed using ChoiceType inside PointerType or RecursiveType
• Support for inspecting circular values
• Removed unused methods of GrowableBuffer
• Updated README with new serialization format

16.0.1

• Added typings to package.json
• Internal rewrite of how IO is handled which should make it faster and more memory-efficient
• Rewrite of writeBooleans() which should decrease memory usage when writing BooleanArrayTypes and BooleanTupleTypes

16.0.0

Much more efficient PointerType serialization (both in terms of binary value representations and structure-bytes code)

15.0.2

Fixed list of files included by npm

15.0.0

Converted to semver

4.0.11

• Rewrote almost all of project in TypeScript. This should make for a more robust codebase. Also, type declarations are automatically distributed along with the compiled code, so structure-bytes can be used in a TypeScript project.
• Client-side code uses fetch() instead of jQuery AJAX
• Wrote my own SHA-256 library to avoid the dependency
• Using webpack instead of browserify
• Using typedoc instead of JSDoc
• Using tslint instead of eslint
• More sophisticated util-inspect
• Less hacky testing framework

3.2.11

• Updated dependencies and jQuery
• Internal rewrite of require system
• Add FlexInt types to README

3.1.11

• Using variable-length ints for more efficient representations of many types and values, where fixed-length ints had been used. In most use cases, this should result in shorter binary representations.
• Added FlexUnsignedIntType that can serialize any non-negative JavaScript integer. Generally more efficient than fixed-length ints for distributions skewed towards smaller values.
• Limits removed from array lengths, map sizes, set sizes, and octets lengths
