3.0.0-rc1 - 2018-05-20

Changed

Error-first callback: cb(err, browsers) instead of cb(browsers)
Remove streams: with new metadata being discovered via multiple avenues, results have to be merged before we can emit something;
More than 2x faster by using native modules: registry-js to read the Windows Registry and win-version-info to read executable metadata. No longer spawns child processes.

Added

Add Node 6, 8, 9, 10
Add release channel for Chrome, Firefox and Opera
Add executable metadata and CPU type to all browsers
Support phantomjs-prebuilt (2.x) as well as phantomjs (1.x)
Detect Firefox ESR
Add Firefox Developer Edition default location;
Add Firefox Nightly default location.

Removed

Drop Node 0.10, 4, 5
Drop XP and Vista
Remove version option;
Remove lucky option.

2.1.0 - 2015-05-05

Changed

Replace fs.exists() with path-exists (7ec303c)
Prefer native cscript (8676bfb) (#18)

Fixed

Uppercase environment variables (a2395b8)

2.0.0 - 2015-05-03

Changed

Speed improvement (2-4x), because it uses a single cscript process to query the registry (replaces reg queries) and a single cscript process to get the version numbers (replaces wmic queries).
Exports a readable object stream, but 1.x callback style is still supported
Only emits executables (*.exe)
No longer uses command-line version flags or version numbers found in the registry or elsewhere. This simplifies the process and makes the version numbers consistent and more detailed.
