This release has breaking changes. Please take care when upgrading to the latest version.
This library is no longer tested against versions 4.x and 9.x of Node.js. Please upgrade to the latest supported LTS version!
instance() and project() has changedThe instance() and project() methods are much more selective about which properties they will accept.
The only accepted properties are params and properties. The instance() and project() methods also now directly return the data instead of a response object.
Previously large number-valued properties were being silently losing precision when returned by this library (as a number). In the cases where a number valued property returned by the metadata service is too large to represent as a JavaScript number, we will now return the value as a BigNumber (from the bignumber.js) library. Numbers that do fit into the JavaScript number range will continue to be returned as numbers. For more details see #74.
