webidl-conversions

Bumped Node.js version requirement to ≥12.

Removed Function and VoidFunction exports. These are better handled by webidl2js.

Renamed the void export to undefined, per Web IDL spec updates.

Added support for environments without SharedArrayBuffer.

Fixed a typo in one of the exception messages for BufferSource. (@ExE-Boss)

Fixed buffer source type conversions to throw on detached ArrayBuffers.

Fixed buffer source type conversions to throw on SharedArrayBuffers.

Added { allowShared: true } to buffer source type conversions, to permit SharedArrayBuffers.

Bumped Node.js version requirement to ≥10.4.

Added support for throwing exception objects that belong to a different realm than the current.

Improved the accuracy of unsigned long long and long long conversions by using BigInt.

Made TypedArray conversions unforgeable. (@ExE-Boss)

Fixed object conversion so that it throws on BigInt values.

Removed the Error export, as the type was removed from Web IDL.

Raised the minimum supported version to Node v8.

Fixed all buffer source type conversions to be realm-independent, i.e. they will no longer throw if given buffer source objects from other realms.

Tweaked float and unrestricted float conversion code to be simpler.

(This release should have been 4.1.0; oops.)

• Added the ability to pass context information in to be used in error messages.
• Fixed ByteString and USVString to not accept Symbol values
• Fixed integer types to never return -0.
• Fixed integer types to round correctly for negative numbers.

This release welcomes @TimothyGu, who implemented all of the remaining basic Web IDL types and some bonus ones.

• Added: any, object, Error, buffer source types, and "common definitions"
• Removed (because they were removed from the Web IDL spec): Date, RegExp
• Fixed:
  • unrestricted double to properly allow NaN
  • float and unrestricted float to properly truncate into 32-bit floating points
  • DOMString, to throw an error for Symbols
  • integer types, in various ways

This release also adds test coverage for all conversions! This should help especially with the pesky integer types and the continual bugs we've seen around them.

Fixed unsigned integer type conversions again.

Changed the USVString conversion to return a JavaScript string, instead of an array of single-character JavaScript strings.

Fixed the conversions of unsigned integer types.

This release welcomes @Sebmaster to the team, as he revives the project in service of jsdom.

The backward-incompatible change is moving away from pure ES2015 source code, instead using the subset supported on Node.js 4.0. That does not include ES2015 modules, so the consumption strategy moves to normal CommonJS modules.

Additionally, he implemented the following conversions:

• All numeric types, although the float implementation is a bit sketchy
• A { treatNullAsEmptyString: true } variant for DOMString
• ByteString
• Date
• RegExp
• USVString (!)

Added "traceur-runner": true to package.json, to better work with traceur-runner.

Made the package use the es6ify transform when used with browserify.

Initial release, with boolean and DOMString as the only supported conversions.
