Upgrade Guide

This document describes breaking changes and how to upgrade. For a complete list of changes including minor and patch releases, please refer to the changelog.

1.0.0

This is the initial release of level-transcoder, which was forked from level-codec. Ultimately level-transcoder got a completely different API, so the two modules are not interchangeable. That said, here are the high-level differences from level-codec just for the record:

  • Throws if an encoding is not found, rather than falling back to 'id' encoding
  • The 'binary' encoding has been renamed to 'buffer', with 'binary' as an alias
  • The 'utf8' encoding of level-codec did not touch Buffers. In level-transcoder the same encoding will call buffer.toString('utf8') for consistency. Consumers can use the 'buffer' encoding to avoid this conversion.
  • The 'id' encoding (aliased as 'none') which wasn't supported by any active abstract-leveldown implementation, has been removed.
  • The 'ascii', 'ucs2' and 'utf16le' encodings are not supported.
