p-try starts a promise chain by running a function that may throw, returning a Promise that resolves with the function’s value or rejects if it throws. It’s useful when you want to integrate synchronous, potentially throwing code into async Promise workflows, with optional arguments to avoid unnecessary closures.

Breakingv2.2.0
v2.2.0 focuses on changing how p-try is exported for TypeScript consumers, aiming for CommonJS compatibility. The actual diff also introduces a small runtime export addition to support default-style imports, plus changes to the package's type test tooling.
v2.1.0
Version 2.1.0 adds TypeScript definitions to improve type support for the package. No other user-facing changes, fixes, or upgrades are described in the release notes.
