Compare Versions - @fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs

5.1.0

✨ Improvements

Resolved #1088 . For Firefox, the fingerprints between normal and incognito modes are now stable. However, it cannot be guaranteed when Enhanced Tracking Protection is enabled.
Resolved #1131
As with v3, collection of usage statistics can be disabled. See docs/api.md for instructions.

5.0.1

🧹 Maintenance

chore: Updated README.md to reference v5 instead of v4, ensuring documentation reflects the latest version and usage examples.

5.0.0

🚀 Release Notes

⚠️ Breaking Change

Build Target Updated: The TypeScript compilation target has been changed from ES5 to ES2018.
This may affect compatibility with older environments that do not support ES2018 features. Please ensure your runtime environment supports ES2018 before upgrading.

✨ Other Changes

License Update: The project license has been changed from BUSL-1.1 to MIT, making it more permissive and open for community use and contribution.

They cover 0.05% of all usages according to the Fingerprint Pro statistics. FingerprintJS won't stop working in these browsers immediately, we just won't check in them. See the list of currently supported browsers in the browser support guide.

4.1.0

Prepare for Safari 17 (#951)

Safari 17 introduces anti-fingerprinting measures in private mode: some fingerprint components change. That made FingerprintJS produce different fingerprints. Unfortunately, we had to disable the entropy sources in Safari 17 for now to keep the fingerprints stable, because there is no apparent way to restore the original components. We keep looking for ways to get stable entropy from these sources.

4.0.1

Improve the performance by optimizing the MurmurHash3 implementation (#931)

4.0.0

Add new entropy sources:

Breaking

⚠️ The license switch from MIT to BSL 1.1. All the reasons and implications of the license change are explained in our blog post
Unexpected entropy source errors are saved as is instead of coercing to a { message: any } object
