Hi maintainers!
The fix for the deprecated unload event listener (PR #679) was merged on September 24, 2025, but hasn't been published to npm yet.
Current situation:
- Latest npm version:
1.6.1(May 2022) - Latest code in master:
1.6.2(with pagehide fix) - Browsers are showing deprecation warnings for
unloadevent
Impact:
- Chrome DevTools shows "Deprecated feature used" warning
- Affects Lighthouse scores and best practices audits
- 35 commits are ready since last release
- Many users still getting warnings on production

Request:
Could you please publish v1.6.2 to npm? The fix is already merged and tested.
Thank you for maintaining this library!
