v1.6.0

What's Changed

• Transport API - added reusable transport for requests, now request handling is more flexible
• Improved ephemeral client management and enhanced session handling (better perf for ephemeral fetch)
• Firefox 146 emulation

Full Changelog: v1.5.2...v1.6.0

v1.5.2

What's Changed

• New emulation profiles for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Full Changelog: v1.5.1...v1.5.2

v1.5.1

What's Changed

• We now have docs! Shoutout to Mintlify. You can access the docs at https://wreq.sqdsh.win/
• Packaging: proper CJS + ESM support
• Type/API tightening (potentially breaking for some TS users): RequestInit.session now expects a real Session instance
• Correctness fix: duplicate cookie names are now preserved
• Performance work (hot-path improvements): around 2% improvement
• Testing coverage was expanded and improved
• Added husky pre-commit hooks and fail-fast behavior

Full Changelog: v1.4.0...v1.5.1

v1.4.0

What's Changed

• Improved performance (~27% more RPS) by optimizing hot paths. Now performance is mostly bottlenecked by JS runtime (Node.JS / Bun), basically NAPI overhead
• Updated deps

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.4.0

v1.3.0

Added

• Certificate validation control: New insecure parameter for fetch(), sessions, and WebSockets to disable SSL certificate verification for development and testing against servers with self-signed or expired certificates.
  ⚠️ Security Warning: Only use in development/testing environments. When enabled, any certificate for any site will be trusted.
• Enhanced build system: automatic OS and profile type extraction from wreq-util to reduce code duplication and prevent version drift between dependencies.
• Input validation: timeout values are now validated to prevent invalid configurations.

Removed

• Alpine Linux aarch64: temporarily removed aarch64-unknown-linux-musl support due to cross-compilation complexities. x86_64 musl builds remain supported for Alpine Linux users.

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.3.0

v1.2.0

This is a substantial release. It completes several long-standing goals and unlocks new capabilities across the stack.

Added

• Operating system emulation: New os parameter for fetch(), sessions, and WebSockets to emulate Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS platform specific headers and TLS fingerprints (default: macos). Usage details are documented in the README.
• getOperatingSystems() API to query all supported OS targets.
• Response body streaming: Response.body now exposes a standard ReadableStream<Uint8Array> with lazy initialization and clone support.
• True AbortSignal integration: request cancellation now propagates into the native layer for proper connection cleanup.
• Full HTTP method support including TRACE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, and custom verbs.
• Redirect control via the standard redirect option (follow, manual, error).
• Alpine Linux support: musl libc builds for x86_64 and aarch64.
• Test coverage monitoring with c8 and strict thresholds. Coverage improvements continue next release.

Improved

• Performance: removed unnecessary Buffer copies in the Response class.
• Concurrency: reused the HTTP runtime for WebSocket connections.
• Concurrency: switched to DashMap for the connection registry.
• Code quality: added rustfmt and clippy configurations with automated formatting.
• Dependencies: upgraded to wreq 6.0.0 rc.22 with streaming support, neon 1.1, and refreshed npm/cargo dependencies.
• Documentation: clarified fetch isolation vs session usage, documented streaming, musl support, and the unthrottled concurrency model.

Internal

• Build system now extracts operating system types from wreq util automatically to reduce duplication and avoid version drift.
• Simplified build guide for contributors.
• Expanded test coverage including binary bodies, streaming correctness, and OS emulation tests.

Full Changelog: v1.1.1...v1.2.0

v1.1.1

This update fixes a critical bug where the order of headers and cookies was not being preserved correctly. The issue likely originated from the original node-wreq library and was discovered during manual testing.

Going forward, I plan to expand test coverage to help catch similar issues earlier and ensure more reliable releases.

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.1.1

v1.1.0

New Features

• Added support for more encodings (brotli, deflate, ztsd) and charsets by tweaking wreq optional features
• Added ability to disable adding emulation headers when custom ones are provided. disableDefaultHeaders option should be used, it is documented in the README

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.1.0

v1.0.0

Excited to introduce the first stable release, featuring fetch-compatible API and session management.

New Features

• Fetch-style API - Standard Headers class and RequestInit interface for familiar Node.js integration
• Session management - Create isolated sessions with independent cookie jars for multi-account workflows
• Improved caching - Replaced DashMap with Moka for better performance and automatic TTL management

Breaking Changes

• New API, easy to migrate if you're familiar with browser fetch or node-fetch
• Default browser profile updated to chrome_142
• Client caching now session-based instead of per-request pooling

Improvements

• Enhanced cookie parsing using wreq's native utilities
• Comprehensive test coverage with local test server
• Updated documentation with session and cookie examples
• Streamlined README for clarity

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v1.0.0

v0.2.0

Changed

• Updated to Rust edition 2024
• Migrated from Prettier to Biome for code formatting and linting
• Stricter TypeScript configuration
• Updated dev dependencies and GitHub Actions workflows
