v1.4.2

• Allow setting proxy via defaults (#194).

v1.4.1

Just some cleanup and a haircut.

v1.4.0

• If output is requested, make sure callback is called after the file written to is closed. (#193)
• Added err and timeout events to output stream object.

v1.3.0

• Added 307 as a valid redirection code (#189, thanks @lauracpierre)
• Persist cookies across redirects when follow_set_cookies is true (#191 and #129, thanks @icemilo and @rchipka)

v1.1.0

• Convert all headers to lowercase when reading and setting. Fixes #167.
• Ensure request URLs are urlencoded. Fixes #171.
• Fixed parse_response behaviour when set via defaults. Fixes #169.
• Handle japanese/chinese chars correctly when building multipart bodies. Fixes #97.
• Handle and bubble up error events that occur at decompressor level (#172).
• Fixed open file descriptor bug (#181) when using output option.

v1.0.0

• Removed Connection: close header by default, unless running node < 0.11.4. This should make multiple requests to a server run much faster. More info about this on the readme.
• Improved the way post bodies can be set through parameters. Nothing breaking though.
• Ensure socket 'end' listener is removed, otherwise we might get 'possible event emitter leak' as those sockets get reused. This fixes the issue reported on #126, where posting huge strings would break Needle.
• Added support for checkServerIdentity option for TLS.

v0.11.0

• Added rdf+xml to the list of parseable XML content types. Fixes #136
• Added .patch() method.
• Fix writing to output file. Closes #140
• Added 'header' event to stream response, that includes both statusCode and headers.
• Changed JSON.parse() to require() in needle.js, allowing needle to run with browserify.

v0.10.0

• Allow setting parse/parse_response option to 'xml' or 'json' in order to skip parsing unwanted types.
• Better handling of URLs with no protocol. needle.post('//foobar.com') should work now.

v0.9.2

• New cookie parsing strategy (based on RFC 6265), thanks to the work by @JORGEAGUIRRE.

v0.9.1

• Fixed Host header name in redirects.
• More informative message on querystring errors.
• Fix for follow_set_cookies when no cookies are received (#121).
