Where to Find the Latest Release Notes for headroom.js

The latest headroom.js release notes are maintained in the CHANGELOG.md file at the root of the chopratejas/headroom repository and published on the GitHub Releases page.

The headroom.js library (published on npm as headroom-ai) follows the versioning scheme of the main Headroom repository. Developers upgrading the SDK or auditing dependencies for production deployments should consult two primary sources to access current release notes and migration guides.

Locating Release Notes in the Repository

CHANGELOG.md: The Authoritative Source

The CHANGELOG.md file in the repository root contains the complete, chronological history of all changes to the JavaScript SDK. Maintained in the Keep‑a‑Changelog format, this file details every feature, bug fix, and breaking change for each semantic version. You can access it directly at:

https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

The most recent changes appear at the top of the file under the ## [Unreleased] section before they are tagged, followed by dated version headers like ## [0.26.0] - 2024-05-15.

GitHub Releases Page

For a human‑friendly view with download assets, the GitHub Releases page extracts the relevant sections from CHANGELOG.md for each Git tag (e.g., v0.26.0). This page serves as the official publication point for binary assets and provides a permalink for every stable release:

https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/releases

The topmost entry on this page always represents the latest stable version of headroom.js.

Programmatically Retrieving Release Information

You can integrate release monitoring into your CI pipelines or internal tooling by fetching the changelog or GitHub API directly.

Using npm view

Query the registry to see the latest published version of the headroom-ai package:

# Display the latest version number

npm view headroom-ai version

# Retrieve the full changelog metadata (if published to the registry)

npm view headroom-ai changelog --json

Fetching from the Raw Changelog (Node.js)

This script parses CHANGELOG.md to extract the most recent version’s notes:

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const changelogUrl =
  'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chopratejas/headroom/main/CHANGELOG.md';

async function getLatestReleaseNotes() {
  const resp = await fetch(changelogUrl);
  const text = await resp.text();

  // Split on version headers; section 0 is the preamble, section 1 is the latest release
  const sections = text.split(/^##\s+\[/m);
  const latestSection = sections[1];
  const [header, ...body] = latestSection.split('\n');
  const version = header.trim().replace(']', '').replace('(', '');
  const notes = body.join('\n').trim();

  console.log(`Latest headroom.js release: ${version}`);
  console.log('Release notes:\n', notes);
}

getLatestReleaseNotes();

Querying the GitHub API (Python)

Use the official REST API to fetch structured release data without cloning the repository:

import requests

def latest_release():
    url = "https://api.github.com/repos/chopratejas/headroom/releases/latest"
    r = requests.get(url, headers={"Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json"})
    data = r.json()
    print(f"Latest tag: {data['tag_name']}")
    print("Release notes:\n", data['body'])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    latest_release()

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the official headroom.js release notes located?

The official release notes are stored in two places: the CHANGELOG.md file at the root of the chopratejas/headroom repository, and the GitHub Releases page. The changelog uses the Keep‑a‑Changelog standard, while the Releases page provides downloadable assets and a web‑friendly presentation of the same information.

How can I programmatically check the latest headroom.js version?

You can check the latest version by running npm view headroom-ai version in your terminal, or by querying the GitHub API endpoint https://api.github.com/repos/chopratejas/headroom/releases/latest. Both methods return the current semantic version without requiring you to clone the repository.

What npm package name corresponds to headroom.js?

The JavaScript SDK is published to npm as headroom-ai. This package follows the same versioning scheme as the GitHub repository, so the version number in package.json aligns with the release tags on GitHub (e.g., v0.26.0).
