  This issue was introduced in 6.0.1

Performance Improvements

• Optimise the queue again (#57)

  6.0.0 was significantly slower than 5.0.0. This restores the balance. Each of these benchmarks is run 10x times, in order to make the numbers reasonably stable for comparison.

Breaking Changes

• Throat no longer supports overriding the Promise implementation (#56)

  If you need to support older browsers, you should use a global polyfill. If you want throat to return a different type of Promise, you should manually wrap the result using CustomPromise.resolve(...)

• Older browsers are no longer tested, although most will continue to work if you include a polyfill for Promise (#56)

  We are still testing on:

  • Microsoft Edge version 15
  • Google Chrome version 55
  • Firefox version 52
  • Safari version 12
  • iOS Safari version 11

• Node.js version 8 is no longer tested, although it will probably continue to work (#56)

New Features

• Environments that support async stack traces will now show the full stack trace when using throat. Previously throat calls effectively cut the stack trace off at that call. (#56)

5.0.0

• Breaking Change: drop support for node 4 and 5
• fix: improve typescript types and support using TypeScript's default import style

4.1.0

• perf: optimise internal queue (#26)
