# 1.x release

(Note: `1.x` will only have backported bugfix releases beyond `1.7.0`)

## v1.7.3

- Enhance: `FetchError` now gives a correct trace stack (backport from v2.x relese).

## v1.7.2

- Fix: when using node-fetch with test framework such as `jest`, `instanceof` check could fail in `Headers` class. This is causing some header values, such as `set-cookie`, to be dropped incorrectly.

## v1.7.1

- Fix: close local test server properly under Node 8.

## v1.7.0

- Fix: revert change in `v1.6.2` where 204 no-content response is handled with a special case, this conflicts with browser Fetch implementation (as browsers always throw when res.json() parses an empty string). Since this is an operational error, it's wrapped in a `FetchError` for easier error handling.
- Fix: move code coverage tool to codecov platform and update travis config

## v1.6.3

- Enhance: error handling document to explain `FetchError` design
- Fix: support `form-data` 2.x releases (requires `form-data` >= 2.1.0)

## v1.6.2

- Enhance: minor document update
- Fix: response.json() returns empty object on 204 no-content response instead of throwing a syntax error

## v1.6.1

- Fix: if `res.body` is a non-stream non-formdata object, we will call `body.toString` and send it as a string
- Fix: `counter` value is incorrectly set to `follow` value when wrapping Request instance
- Fix: documentation update

## v1.6.0

- Enhance: added `res.buffer()` api for convenience, it returns body as a Node.js buffer
- Enhance: better old server support by handling raw deflate response
- Enhance: skip encoding detection for non-HTML/XML response
- Enhance: minor document update
- Fix: HEAD request doesn't need decompression, as body is empty
- Fix: `req.body` now accepts a Node.js buffer

## v1.5.3

- Fix: handle 204 and 304 responses when body is empty but content-encoding is gzip/deflate
- Fix: allow resolving response and cloned response in any order
- Fix: avoid setting `content-length` when `form-data` body use streams
- Fix: send DELETE request with content-length when body is present
- Fix: allow any url when calling new Request, but still reject non-http(s) url in fetch

## v1.5.2

- Fix: allow node.js core to handle keep-alive connection pool when passing a custom agent

## v1.5.1

- Fix: redirect mode `manual` should work even when there is no redirection or broken redirection

## v1.5.0

- Enhance: rejected promise now use custom `Error` (thx to @pekeler)
- Enhance: `FetchError` contains `err.type` and `err.code`, allows for better error handling (thx to @pekeler)
- Enhance: basic support for redirect mode `manual` and `error`, allows for location header extraction (thx to @jimmywarting for the initial PR)

## v1.4.1

- Fix: wrapping Request instance with FormData body again should preserve the body as-is

## v1.4.0

- Enhance: Request and Response now have `clone` method (thx to @kirill-konshin for the initial PR)
- Enhance: Request and Response now have proper string and buffer body support (thx to @kirill-konshin)
- Enhance: Body constructor has been refactored out (thx to @kirill-konshin)
- Enhance: Headers now has `forEach` method (thx to @tricoder42)
- Enhance: back to 100% code coverage
- Fix: better form-data support (thx to @item4)
- Fix: better character encoding detection under chunked encoding (thx to @dsuket for the initial PR)

## v1.3.3

- Fix: make sure `Content-Length` header is set when body is string for POST/PUT/PATCH requests
- Fix: handle body stream error, for cases such as incorrect `Content-Encoding` header
- Fix: when following certain redirects, use `GET` on subsequent request per Fetch Spec
- Fix: `Request` and `Response` constructors now parse headers input using `Headers`

## v1.3.2

- Enhance: allow auto detect of form-data input (no `FormData` spec on node.js, this is form-data specific feature)

## v1.3.1

- Enhance: allow custom host header to be set (server-side only feature, as it's a forbidden header on client-side)

## v1.3.0

- Enhance: now `fetch.Request` is exposed as well

## v1.2.1

- Enhance: `Headers` now normalized `Number` value to `String`, prevent common mistakes

## v1.2.0

## v1.0.0

- Enhance: better test coverage and doc
