• Add sponsorship files.
  • If you appreciate the time spent maintaining JSZip then I would really appreciate your sponsorship.
• Consolidate metadata types and expose OnUpdateCallback #851 and #852
• use const instead var in example from README.markdown #828
• Switch manual download link to HTTPS #839

Internals:

• Replace jshint with eslint #842
• Add performance tests #834

• Change setimmediate dependency to more efficient one. Fixes #617 (see #829)
• Update types of currentFile metadata to include null (see #826)

• Fix recursive definition of InputFileFormat introduced in 3.9.0.

• Update types JSZip#loadAsync to accept a promise for data, and remove arguments from new JSZip() (see #752)
• Update types for compressionOptions to JSZipFileOptions and JSZipGeneratorOptions (see #722)
• Add types for generateInternalStream (see #774)

• Santize filenames when files are loaded with loadAsync, to avoid "zip slip" attacks. The original filename is available on each zip entry as unsafeOriginalName. See the documentation. Many thanks to McCaulay Hudson for reporting.

• Fix build of dist files.
  • Note: this version ensures the changes from 3.7.0 are actually included in the dist files. Thanks to Evan W for reporting.

• Fix: Use a null prototype object for this.files (see #766)
  • This change might break existing code if it uses prototype methods on the .files property of a zip object, for example zip.files.toString(). This approach is taken to prevent files in the zip overriding object methods that would exist on a normal object.

• Fix: redirect main to dist on browsers (see #742)
• Fix duplicate require DataLengthProbe, utils (see #734)
• Fix small error in read_zip.md (see #703)

• Fix 'End of data reached' error when file extra field is invalid (see #544).
• Typescript definitions: Add null to return types of functions that may return null (see #669).
• Typescript definitions: Correct nodeStream's type (see #682)
• Typescript definitions: Add string output type (see #666)

• Add Typescript type definitions (see #601).

• Change browser module resolution to support Angular packager (see #614).

• No public changes, but a number of testing dependencies have been updated.
• Tested browsers are now: Internet Explorer 11, Chrome (most recent) and Firefox (most recent). Other browsers (specifically Safari) are still supported however testing them on Saucelabs is broken and so they were removed from the test matrix.

• Corrected built dist files

• Update dependencies to reduce bundle size (see #532).

• Fix nodejs 0.10 compatibility (see #480).
• Improve the error without type in async() (see #481).

• consistently use our own utils object for inheritance (see #395).

• remove a copy with blob output (see #357).
• fix crc32 check for empty entries (see #358).
• fix the base64 error message with data uri (see #359).

• utils.delay: use macro tasks instead of micro tasks (see #288).
• Harden base64 decode (see #316).
• Add JSZip.version and the version in the header (see #317).
• Support Promise(Blob) (see #318).
