[v9.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v9.0.0) (2020-03-14)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Moved Swagger Parser to the [@APIDevTools scope](https://www.npmjs.com/org/apidevtools) on NPM

- The "swagger-parser" NPM package is now just a wrapper around the scoped "@apidevtools/swagger-parser" package

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v8.0.4...v9.0.0)



[v8.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v8.0.0) (2019-06-22)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#### Potentially Breaking Changes

- [The `validate()` function](https://apitools.dev/swagger-parser/docs/swagger-parser.html#validateapi-options-callback) now uses [the official JSON Schemas](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/tree/master/schemas) for Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0 schema validation.  We tested this change on [over 1,500 real-world APIs](https://apis.guru/browse-apis/) and there were **no breaking changes**, but we're bumped the major version number just to be safe.

[v7.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v7.0.0) (2019-06-12)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#### Breaking Changes

- Dropped support for Node 6

- Updated all code to ES6+ syntax (async/await, template literals, arrow functions, etc.)

- No longer including a pre-built bundle in the package. such as [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/), [Parcel](https://parceljs.org/), or [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) to include Swagger Parser in your app

#### Other Changes

- Added [TypeScript definitions](lib/index.d.ts)

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v6.0.5...v7.0.0)



[v6.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v6.0.0) (2018-10-05)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Dropped support for [Bower](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bower), since it has been deprecated

- Removed the [`debug`](https://npmjs.com/package/debug) dependency

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v5.0.0...v6.0.0)



[v5.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v5.0.0) (2018-05-25)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- After [months](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/issues/62) and [months](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/issues/72) of delays, initial support for OpenAPI 3.0 is finally here!  A big "Thank You!" to [Leo Long](https://github.com/yujunlong2000) for doing the work and submitting [PR #88](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/pull/88).

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v4.1.0...v5.0.0)



[v4.1.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v4.1.0) (2018-04-11)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- [@marcelstoer](https://github.com/marcelstoer) submitted [PR #83](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/pull/83) and [PR #84](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/pull/84), both of which improve the [`validate()` method](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#validateapi-options-callback).  It will now detect when a JSON Schema in your API definition has `required` properties that don't exist.

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v4.0.0...v4.1.0)



[v4.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v4.0.0) (2017-10-19)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#### Breaking Changes

- Update the [Swagger 2.0 JSON schema](https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-schema-official), so it's possible that an API that previously passed validation may no longer pass due to changes in the Swagger schema

- To reduce the size of this library, it no longer includes polyfills for [Promises](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) and [TypedArrays](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray), which are natively supported in the latest versions of Node and web browsers.  If you need to support older browsers (such as IE9), then just use [this `Promise` polyfill](https://github.com/stefanpenner/es6-promise) and [this `TypedArray` polyfill](https://github.com/inexorabletash/polyfill/blob/master/typedarray.js).

#### Minor Changes

- [PR #74](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/pull/74) - Fixes [an edge-case bug](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/issues/73) with the `validate()` method and `x-` vendor extensions

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v4.0.0-beta.2...v4.0.0)



[v4.0.0-beta.2](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v4.0.0-beta.2) (2016-04-25)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#### Just one small fix
Fixed [issue #13](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/issues/13).  You can now pass a URL _and_ an object to any method.

```javascript
SwaggerParser.validate("http://example.com/my-schema.json", mySchemaObject, {})
```

> **NOTE:** As shown in the example above, you _must_ also pass an options object (even an empty object will work), otherwise, the method signature looks like you're just passing a URL and options.

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v4.4.0-beta.1...v4.0.0-beta.2)


[v4.0.0-beta.1](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v4.0.0-beta.1) (2016-04-10)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#### Plug-ins !!!
That's the major new feature in this version. Originally requested in [PR #8](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/pull/8), and refined a few times over the past few months, the plug-in API is now finalized and ready to use. You can now define your own [resolvers](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/blob/v3.0.0/docs/plugins/resolvers.md) and [parsers](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/blob/v3.0.0/docs/plugins/parsers.md).

#### Breaking Changes
The available [options have changed](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/releases/4.0.0/docs/options.md), mostly due to the new plug-in API.  There's not a one-to-one mapping of old options to new options, so you'll have to read the docs and determine which options you need to set. If any. The out-of-the-box configuration works for most people.

All of the [caching options have been removed](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/commit/1f4260184bfd370e9cd385b523fb08c098fac6db). Instead, files are now cached by default, and the entire cache is reset for each new parse operation. Caching options may come back in a future release, if there is enough demand for it. If you used the old caching options, please open an issue and explain your use-case and requirements.  I need a better understanding of what caching functionality is actually needed by users.

#### Bug Fixes
Lots of little bug fixes, and a couple major bug fixes:
- [completely rewrote the bundling logic](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/commit/32510a38a29723fb24f56d30f055e7358acdd935) to fix [issue #16](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/issues/16)
- Added support for [root-level `$ref`s](https://github.com/APIDevTools/json-schema-ref-parser/issues/16)

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v3.3.0...v4.0.0-beta.1)



[v3.3.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v3.3.0) (2015-10-02)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated to the latest version of [the Official Swagger 2.0 Schema](https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-schema-official).  The schema [hadn't been updated for six months](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/335), so Swagger Parser was missing [several recent changes](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/commits/master/schemas/v2.0/schema.json).

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v3.2.0...v3.3.0)



[v3.2.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v3.2.0) (2015-10-01)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swagger Parser now uses [call-me-maybe](https://www.npmjs.com/package/call-me-maybe) to support [promises or callbacks](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/master/docs#callbacks-vs-promises).

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v3.1.0...v3.2.0)



[v3.1.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v3.1.0) (2015-09-28)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed several bugs with circular references, particularly with the [`validate()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#validateapi-options-callback) method.

Added a new [`$refs.circular` option](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/options.md) to determine how circular references are handled.  Options are fully-dereferencing them (default), throwing an error, or ignoring them.

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/compare/v3.0.0...v3.1.0)



[v3.0.0](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/tree/v3.0.0) (2015-09-25)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a **complete rewrite** of Swagger Parser.  Major changes include:

**Swagger 2.0 Compliant**<br>
Previous versions of Swagger Parser were based on early drafts of Swagger 2.0, and were not compliant with [the final version of the spec](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md).  Swagger Parser v3.0 is now compliant with the final spec as well as related specs, such as [JSON Reference](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pbryan-zyp-json-ref-03) and [JSON Pointer](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)

**All-New API**<br>
The old API only had a single method: `parse()`.  But depending on which options you passed it, the method did _much_ more than its name implied.  The new API has separate methods to make things a bit more intuitive.  The most commonly used will be [`validate()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#validateapi-options-callback), [`bundle()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#bundleapi-options-callback), and [`dereference()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#dereferenceapi-options-callback).  The [`parse()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#parseapi-options-callback) and [`resolve()`](https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-parser/blob/master/docs/swagger-parser.md#resolveapi-options-callback) methods are also available, but these are mostly just for internal use by the other methods.

**Asynchronous API**<br>
The old API was "asynchronous", but it relied on global state, so it did not support multiple simultaneous operations.  The new API is truly asynchronous and supports both [ES6 Promises](http://javascriptplayground.com/blog/2015/02/promises/) and Node-style callbacks.

**New JSON Schema Validator**<br>
Swagger Parser has switched from [tv4](https://github.com/geraintluff/tv4) to [Z-Schema](https://github.com/zaggino/z-schema), which is [faster](https://rawgit.com/zaggino/z-schema/master/benchmark/results.html) and performs [more accurate validation](https://github.com/ebdrup/json-schema-benchmark#test-failure-summary).  This means that some APIs that previously passed validation will now fail.  But that's a _good_ thing!
