Change Log

4.1.0

Released 07/24/2019

• Adds int64 support for node v12+
• Drops support for node v4

4.0

Released 10/21/2017

• Major breaking changes arriving in v4.

New Features

• Ability to read data from a specific offset. ex: readInt8(5)
• Ability to write over data when an offset is given (see breaking changes) ex: writeInt8(5, 0);
• Ability to set internal read and write offsets.

Breaking Changes

• Old constructor patterns have been completely removed. It's now required to use the SmartBuffer.fromXXX() factory constructors. Read more on the v4 docs.
• rewind(), skip(), moveTo() have been removed.
• Internal private properties are now prefixed with underscores (_).
• All writeXXX() methods that are given an offset will now overwrite data instead of insert
• insertXXX() methods have been added for when you want to insert data at a specific offset (this replaces the old behavior of writeXXX() when an offset was provided)

Other Changes

• Standardizd error messaging
• Standardized offset/length bounds and sanity checking
• General overall cleanup of code.

• Adds missing type definitions for some internal functions.

3.0.2

Released 02/17/2017

3.0.1

Released 02/15/2017

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a bug leftover from the TypeScript refactor where .readIntXXX() resulted in .readUIntXXX() being called by mistake.

3.0

Released 02/12/2017

Bug Fixes

• readUIntXXXX() methods will now throw an exception if they attempt to read beyond the bounds of the valid buffer data available.
