v10.0.0

Breaking

• Require Node.js 22 6c95de2
• Throw a TypeError when the defaultProtocol option is not a valid scheme, such as 'https://' a8c34ae
• The query is now always re-serialized, even with sortQueryParameters: false 65f62ef
  • Previously, disabling sorting kept the query exactly as written. Now it is written the way URLSearchParams writes it, so %20 becomes + and an escape that is not valid UTF-8, like %E9, becomes %EF%BF%BD.
• The removeDirectoryIndex option now runs after transformPath, so the function also receives the index file 65f62ef
• Many edge cases are now normalized differently (see below). If you store normalized URLs, you may want to normalize them again.

Improvements

• The defaultProtocol option now accepts any protocol, not just http and https b2e4135
• Strip all whitespace from the ends of a URL, including a non-breaking space and a byte order mark left over from copying 13f62a4
• Keep repeated query keys in their original order when sorting 5a3e67a
• Normalizing an already normalized URL now always gives the same URL
• Document the normalizations that happen regardless of the options bb685bc

Fixes

• Fix normalization of the protocol, host, port, path, query, fragment, and data URLs 65f62ef
  • http:/example.com no longer becomes http://http/example.com
  • %252F in a path no longer becomes %2F, which is a different URL
  • A trailing / in the query is no longer removed
  • normalizeProtocol: false now keeps a protocol-relative URL, even with defaultProtocol: 'https'
  • A data URL without a comma no longer throws
• Fix several data URL cases where the normalized URL was decoded differently by browsers 5d8ff58 cf2aed8 bd39d02
