0.8.0 (2026-08-27)

  • Sync WhichBrowser/Parser-JavaScript to WhichBrowser/Parser-PHP@581d614 [diff]

  • Fixes:

    • Hide the macOS version when it is reported as the fingerprinting-mitigation frozen value (10.15.7 for Chrome/Safari, 10.15 for Firefox)
    • Recognize macOS versions starting with 2x (e.g. macOS 26 Tahoe) — the OS X version regex previously only matched 1x (10 to 19)
    • Recover the real iOS version from Safari's Version/ token when iOS 26+ freezes the reported OS version at 18.x/19.x
    • update-chrome pulled its data from omahaproxy.appspot.com, which has been shut down for years and returned 404, so it silently updated nothing. Chrome versions released after 118 (Nov 2023) had no matching entry in the stable-channel database and were consequently misidentified as Chrome Dev. Switched to the Chromium Dash release API

  • Database:

    • Adds macOS nicknames Ventura (13), Sonoma (14), Sequoia (15) and Tahoe (26)
    • Adds Darwin-to-macOS/iOS version mapping up to Darwin 25 (macOS 26 Tahoe / iOS 26)
    • Added Chrome stable versions 119 to 153 (desktop) and 119 to 152 (mobile). Firefox and Edge were checked too — both parse the browser version directly from the UA string with no version lookup table, so current releases (Firefox 141, Edge 140) were already detected correctly
    • Routine refresh of the applications, models, indices, profiles and regexes databases

  • Operations:

    • Removed the deprecated request package (unmaintained, several vulnerabilities with no fix available) from the bin/update-* scripts in favor of the native fetch. This also resolved every other outstanding Dependabot alert (js-yaml, handlebars, minimatch, picomatch, path-to-regexp, uuid) by bumping nyc, and picking up newer transitive dependencies for eslint, lint-staged and sinon — none of this affects the published package, which has zero runtime dependencies
    • The bin/update-* scripts used to swallow fetch failures silently (this is exactly how the dead omahaproxy endpoint above went unnoticed for years); they now log the error and exit with a non-zero status code
    • Every devDependency bumped to latest: eslint 8→10, husky 8→9, lint-staged 15→17, sinon 17→22, @hapi/lab 25→26, prettier, eslint-plugin-prettier, eslint-config-prettier
    • Migrated .eslintrc.json to flat config (eslint.config.js), required by ESLint 9+. Replaced eslint-config-google — archived by Google in 2025, last released in 2019, and no longer loadable at all under ESLint 10 since it still references core rules (valid-jsdoc, require-jsdoc) that were removed — with the ~20 rules it contributed that weren't already superseded by Prettier, declared directly so the project no longer depends on an abandoned package
    • husky 9 dropped the .husky/_/husky.sh boilerplate hooks used to source; updated .husky/pre-commit accordingly
    • nyc 18 and lint-staged 17 require Node 20+/22+ to run; updated the CI matrix from Node 16-20 (all EOL except the tail of 20.x) to the currently maintained LTS lines (20.x, 22.x, 24.x), and bumped actions/checkout/actions/setup-node to v4
    • update-all now runs prettier/eslint --fix on data/ right after regenerating it (new format-data script), so the generated files are committed in their final formatted form instead of relying on the pre-commit hook to reformat them after the fact
