**The latest headroom.js release notes are maintained in the [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/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:

```bash

# 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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) to extract the most recent version’s notes:

```javascript
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:

```python
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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/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`](https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom/blob/main/package.json) aligns with the release tags on GitHub (e.g., `v0.26.0`).
