@zip.js/zip.js 2.8.2

v2.8.2

on Node.js NPM

New in version 2.8

1. WebAssembly Integration

• Replaced JavaScript compression and decompression implementation with WebAssembly zlib module (https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/zlib-streams. This improves security and performance when native CompressionStream and DecompressionStream APIs are not used (for example, when using custom compression levels or decompressing deflate64 data) or unavailable.
• Added the wasmURI configuration property to provide the module URI if necessary (for example, when the CSP blocks data URIs).

1. Deflate64 Decompression Support

• Added support of proprietary Deflate64 decompression algorithm which can be used by Windows when compressing large files (see #517)

1. Simplified Configuration

• Replaced the complex workerScripts configuration with a single workerURI property, making it easier to set up web workers.
• Default values for workerURI and wasmURI are provided, reducing the need for manual configuration when building code.

1. Improved Type Safety and Clarity

• Refined TypeScript definitions, including clearer distinctions between DirectoryEntry and FileEntry.
• Deprecated and removed legacy APIs and classes, streamlining the library for current use cases.

Breaking Changes

1. Worker Configuration Changes:

• The workerScripts property in the configuration was removed and replaced with workerURI (and wasmURI for the WASM module).

1. Stream Implementation Updates:

• The Deflate and Inflate properties in the configuration were removed and replaced with CompressionStream and DecompressionStream.

1. Deprecated Classes Removed:

• The deprecated classes SplitZipReader and SplitZipWriter were removed.

1. Event-Based Codec Support Removed:

• Interfaces and classes related to event-based codecs, such as EventBasedZipLibrary, initShimAsyncCodec, and EventBasedCodec were removed.

1. Entry Metadata Changes in index.d.ts:

• The directory property was removed from EntryMetaData and moved to DirectoryEntry and FileEntry interfaces.

What's Changed in v2.8.2

• Fix edge cases of uncompressed size check by @0f-0b in #600
