• 🤓 All new reworked, reviewed, and optimized codebase
• 👨‍🔬 90% auto-tests coverage for HTTP(S) protocol, and 99% auto-tests coverage for library's features
• 🧰 New options (see updated docs):
  • ⚒ rejectUnauthorizedProxy - Check SSL/TLS certificate of a proxy host
  • ⚒ upload - Easily upload a file with a single option
  • ⚒ curlOptions - Explicitly pass options to libcurl
  • ⚒ curlFeatures - Explicitly enable/disable features of libcurl
• 🧰 API of LibCurlRequest :
  • ⚒ LibCurlRequest#abort() - Abort ongoing request
  • ⚒ LibCurlRequest#send() - Send (e.g. perform) pending request
  • ⚒ LibCurlRequest#onData() - Hook data streaming event
  • ⚒ LibCurlRequest#onHeader - Hook headers streaming event

Removed:

• Promises API
• Async/Await API
• LibCurlRequest#request
• LibCurlRequest#curl
• LibCurlRequest#on(/*...*/) — events API

Changed:

• 📦 node-libcurl upgraded to v2.0.2 (was v2.0.1)
