This release is a move to semantic versioning _ONLY_. There are NO changes in this release. All future releases will follow semantic versioning.

See [v0.13.0](https://github.com/http-party/http-server/releases/tag/v0.13.0) for information about changes since the v0.12 series.

### v0.13.0

- Date: 2021-08-07
- Version: v0.13.0
- Original notes: https://github.com/http-party/http-server/releases/tag/v0.13.0
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/http-server/releases/v0.13.0

A long time coming, the next major release for http-server! This will be the final release before a switch to actual semantic versioning. This release's major achievement is the internalization of the functionality of the now-abandoned `ecstatic` library, thus removing it as a dependency. Huge thanks to @zbynek for help on that front, as well as several other included changes.

###### Breaking changes:

- No longer sends the header `server: http-server-${version}` with every response

###### New features:

- All responses include `Accept-Ranges: bytes` to advertise support for partial requests

###### Fixes

- Removes dependency on the abandoned `ecstatic` library
- Dependency upgrades to fix several security alerts
- `http-server -a 0.0.0.0` will now do what you told it to do, rather than overriding the address to 127.0.0.1
- Will no longer serve binary files with a charset in the Content-Type, fixing serving WebAssembly files, among other issues
- Support `.mjs` MimeType correctly

###### Internal

- Switched from Travis to GH Actions for CI

### v0.11.2 — v0.11.2: Security update
