Release notes

The full release history of install-artifact-from-github. The README shows the recent releases only.

1.6.0 (2026-04-26)

N-API support. Both utilities accept --napi level / --napi-var ENVVAR (default: DOWNLOAD_NAPI): when an N-API level is declared, the URL slot that normally encodes the Node ABI (process.versions.modules) becomes napi-v${level}, collapsing the per-Node-major build matrix to one binary per platform/arch. See Using N-API.

1.5.0 (2026-04-26)

Optional proxy support for corporate / enterprise environments: --agent / --agent-var / DOWNLOAD_AGENT point at a module whose default export is an http.Agent — you bring your own proxy package, the helper stays zero-dependency. See Using a proxy.

The package was converted to ESM, and the minimum supported Node is now 18 (engines.node: ">=18").
