Recent updates
v5.0.1
v5.0.1 updates the default-browser-id macOS bundle identifier logic to correct the Safari bundle identifier casing. The release also bumps the package version from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1.
v5.0.0
v5.0.0 is a major version that removes runtime dependencies and changes how the default browser bundle identifier is determined on macOS. The release notes are minimal and only mention dependency removal, but the code shows a substantial implementation change involving calling the `defaults` command and regex parsing.
v4.0.0
This release is primarily a major version bump focused on modern Node.js support, requiring Node 18+. The code changes are mostly internal refactors plus dependency and tooling upgrades.
Breakingv3.0.0
v3.0.0 makes two major changes: it requires a newer Node.js runtime and switches the package to pure ESM. These updates will affect how you import and run the library in existing CommonJS-based or older Node.js projects.
