Releases: KasimAhmic/autoit-js
v2.1.0
2.1.0 (2025-08-20)
Small update that adds an async variant of the Tooltip function. I was unable to figure out what exactly the cause of SendMessageW failing in async contexts was, but based on some research, it seems to be related to this weird mix of Node + Koffi + Win32 that I've got going on. Something about passing handles around between libuv worker threads (from subsequent function invocations) and Windows not liking non-owners of the handles sending messages to said handles, not 100% sure.
The "solution" I came up with was to just use the sync variants of the setup and teardown functions since they're pretty fast and then only use the async variant of Sleep to avoid blocking the main thread for an excessively long time. In theory, this shouldn't case any issues but until I can figure this out, it's better than nothing.
As always, if you run into any issues, please open an issue!

v2.0.0
2.0.0 (2025-08-09)
~150 commits and a week's vacation later, AutoIt JS 2.0.0 is complete!
Asynchronous Functions
This update adds async variations of every function for use in async contexts like Cypress and Playwright. You can see the rationale in #10, but the long and short of it is the old function names are now the async variants and the sync variants have been renamed with the Sync suffix.
Inline Documentation
I have also added the JSDoc stubs directly into the TypeScript declaration files. This should've been a part of the 1.1.0 release when all the documentation was initially added, but I guess I missed it back then. Oh well, better late than never!
(bundle size is a tad insane...)
Future Releases
The one downside to this release is that there is no async variant of the Tooltip function yet. It seems that when allocating space on the native side with Koffi for the TOOLINFOW struct, I can't safely pass a pointer to it asynchronously with SendMessageW. I am not sure what's going on but I didn't want to hold up the release for a single function. I'll release a feature update later once I get this resolved.

v1.1.0
1.1.0 (2025-04-18)
1.1.0 is here and it includes a massive overhaul of the project documentation! Every single function, enum, type, method, etc. has been comprehensively documented so you never have to leave your IDE when working with AutoIt JS. If you need a bit more detail, every docstub also contains a link to the official AutoIt documentation. Typedoc has been added as well and I will deploy the auto generated docs to GitHub Pages within the next few days as well.
In addition to the documentation overhaul, I have also gone an fully reimplemented the Tooltip function using the Win32 API directly in much the same way I did PixelSearch. As usual, if you encounter any bugs, please report them!
