Version 2.0.0 alpha 2

✨ New features:

• Add an option to set the connection timeout time.

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Fix a bug preventing queued messages from sending if the connection was already idle before they were queued.
• Prevent the connection from hanging if it times out prematurely.

Version 2.0.0 alpha 1

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Reduce the risk of unexpected packets being processed, which could lead to unnecessary performance losses.
• Fix a bug that was causing the AuthenticationMessage constructor to produce invalid auth messages.

Version 2.0.0 alpha 0

Version 2 of the API constitutes a complete rewrite of the LoginServerConnection class, as well as a few other modules, in order to simplify the API and support asynchronous operation.

✨ New features:

• The API is now asynchronous! 🔀
• Use await fetch('endpoint') to retrieve data, instead of crafting specific network messages.
• Data is now fetched from defined endpoints.
• Returned data now has a rigid, dependable structure. No more guessing what the server will return!
• Add support for decoding more enumfield types:
  • In-game Message Types,
  • Team IDs (BE, DS, Spec),
  • Integer-Booleans.
• Various intellisense improvements.

---

🐛 Bug fixes:

• All nuisance console logs are now behind the LoginServerConnection's debug option.
• stringToHex utility function will no longer return null if passed a string of odd length.
• Temporary fix to allow processing some duplicate enumfields.
• Use the correct syntax for private fields in all classes.

---

🚨 Breaking changes:

• API now uses async-await syntax, instead of callbacks.
• Removed several LoginServerConnection methods and getters:
  • on(),
  • queue(),
  • isConnected.
• All message classes are now under the Messages alias (eg: Messages.ServerListMessage').

Version 1.4.2

✨ New features:

• Add support for the StringBoolean enumfield type (where y and n represent true and false, rather than 1 and 0).

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Swap duplicate enumfield 01A4 from the EnumBlockArray type to the more common Sized variant. This should improve parsing of packets that contain game server lists and game server details.
• Potential improvements to ESM - CJS interoperability.

Version 1.4.1

✨ New features:

• Add support for compiling TA Network API as a JavaScript module.

Version 1.3.0

✨ New features:

• Greatly improve the parsing performance of the Buffer from 11.5KB/s to 6MB/s!
• Add lastByteRead property to the Buffer.
• Expose hexToString(), stringToHex(), textToHex(), and invertEndianness() utility functions

🐛Bug fixes:

• Use import instead of require() in all modules for consistency.
• Skip performance logging in the Buffer if Node's performance module is unavailable.

Version 1.2.0

✨ New features:

• TA Network API now has a logo!
• New WatchNowMessage class allows you to fetch data from the "Watch-now" menu.
• Support for decoding items (video names & links) from the "Watch-now" menu.
• The Decoder class now has an optional options argument, giving you better control over the output:

  const options = {
  	clean: true	// Provide a clean output (remove empty objects, nulls, etc).
  };
  const decoder = new Decoder(tree, options);

• The LoginServerConnection class now has an options argument too:

  const options = {
  	authenticate: true,	// Automatically authenticate upon connection.
  	decoder: {		// (Passed to the internal Decoder)
  		clean: true
  	}
  };
  const connection = new LoginServerConnection('hirez', credentials, options);

  (You can find more info about these options in the readme)

Version 1.1.1

✨ New features:

• Include data for:
  • Heavy items.
  • Perks.
  • Voicepacks.

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Fixed Medium weapons having the item type "waepon".

Version 1.1.0

✨ New features:

• Support for decoding game items (weapons, skins, packs, etc) from their IDs.
• New Decoder method decodeFieldValue(value: Uint8Array, type: string) now allows you to decode arbitrary enumfields.

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Prevent the Decoder from being able to return an empty object instead of Map data when decoding a Map ID.
