Author: TorosyanVCreated Jan 22, 2026Updated Apr 24, 2026

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 unload event

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

References:

  • Fix PR: #679
  • Related issues: #650, #646, #544

Request:

Could you please publish v1.6.2 to npm? The fix is already merged and tested.

Thank you for maintaining this library!
