Change Log

# 4.1.0

> Released 07/24/2019

* Adds int64 support for node v12+

- Drops support for node v4

# 4.0

> Released 10/21/2017

* Major breaking changes arriving in v4.

## New Features

- Ability to read data from a specific offset. ex: readInt8(5)
- Ability to write over data when an offset is given (see breaking changes) ex: writeInt8(5, 0);
- Ability to set internal read and write offsets.

## Breaking Changes

- Old constructor patterns have been completely removed. It's now required to use the SmartBuffer.fromXXX() factory constructors. Read more on the v4 docs.
- rewind(), skip(), moveTo() have been removed.
- Internal private properties are now prefixed with underscores (_).
- All writeXXX() methods that are given an offset will now overwrite data instead of insert
- insertXXX() methods have been added for when you want to insert data at a specific offset (this replaces the old behavior of writeXXX() when an offset was provided)

## Other Changes

- Standardizd error messaging
- Standardized offset/length bounds and sanity checking
- General overall cleanup of code.

# 3.0.3

> Released 02/19/2017

* Adds missing type definitions for some internal functions.

# 3.0.2

> Released 02/17/2017

## Bug Fixes

- Fixes a bug where using readString with a length of zero resulted in reading the remaining data instead of returning an empty string. (Fixed by Seldszar)

# 3.0.1

> Released 02/15/2017

## Bug Fixes

- Fixes a bug leftover from the TypeScript refactor where .readIntXXX() resulted in .readUIntXXX() being called by mistake.

# 3.0

> Released 02/12/2017

## Bug Fixes

- readUIntXXXX() methods will now throw an exception if they attempt to read beyond the bounds of the valid buffer data available.
  - Note This is technically a breaking change, so version is bumped to 3.x.
