3
- # 5.5.1 – 2025-07-15
4
-
5
- 1. wrap `InconclusiveMatchError`s in `logMsgIfDebug` for local flag evaluations on `sendFeatureFlags`
6
-
7
- # 5.5.0 – 2025-07-10
8
-
9
- 1. feat: make the `sendFeatureFlags` parameter more declarative and ergonomic. Implementation notes below:
10
-
11
- Modified `sendFeatureFlags` to be type `boolean | SendFeatureFlagsOptions`, (which is defined thusly)
12
-
13
- ```ts
14
- export interface SendFeatureFlagsOptions {
15
- onlyEvaluateLocally?: boolean
16
- personProperties?: Record<string, any>
17
- groupProperties?: Record<string, Record<string, any>>
18
- }
19
- ```
20
-
21
- This lets users declare (1) whether to use local evaluation, and (2) which properties to supply explicitly for that evaluation, every time they want to send feature flags. It also supports the old boolean behavior if folks don't care and would rather the SDK infer it.
22
-
23
- Now, you can make calls like this
24
-
25
- ```ts
26
- posthog.captureImmediate({
27
- distinctId: "user123",
28
- event: "test event",
29
- sendFeatureFlags: {
30
- onlyEvaluateLocally: true,
31
- personProperties: {
32
- plan: "premium",
33
- },
34
- },
35
- properties: {
36
- foo: "bar",
37
- },
38
- });
39
- ```
40
-
41
- or simply
42
-
43
- ```
44
- posthog.captureImmediate({
45
- distinctId: "user123",
46
- event: "test event",
47
- sendFeatureFlags: true // this will still infer local evaluation if it appears to be configured, but it won't try to pull properties from the event message
48
- properties: {
49
- foo: "bar",
50
- },
51
- });
52
- ```
53
-
54
- # 5.4.0 – 2025-07-09
55
-
56
- feat: respect local evaluation preferences with `sendFeatureFlags`; add property overrides from the event to those local computations so that the locally evaluated flags can be more accuratee. NB: this change chagnes the default behavior of `capture` and `captureImmediately` – we will now only send feature flag data along with those events if `sendFeatureFlags` is explicitly specified, instead of optimistically sending along locally evaluated flags by default.
57
-
58
- # 5.3.1 - 2025-07-07
59
-
60
- 1. feat: decouple feature flag local evaluation from personal API keys; support decrypting remote config payloads without relying on the feature flags poller
61
-
62
- # 5.2.1 - 2025-07-07
63
-
64
- 1. feat: add captureExceptionImmediate method on posthog client
65
-
66
- # 5.1.1 - 2025-06-16
67
-
68
- 1. fix: Handle double-encoded JSON payloads from the remote config endpoint
69
-
70
- # 5.1.0 - 2025-06-12
71
-
72
- 1. chore: use `/flags?v=2&config=true` instead of `/decide?v=4` for the flag evaluation backend
73
-
74
- # 5.0.0 - 2025-06-10
75
-
76
- ## Removed
77
-
78
- 1. Remove `is_simple_flag` from `PostHogFeatureFlag` type
79
- 2. Remove `captureMode` in favor of `json` capture mode only
80
- 3. Remove deprecated `personProperties` and `groupProperties` in favor of `setPersonPropertiesForFlags` and `setGroupPropertiesForFlags`
81
-
82
- ## Breaking changes
83
-
84
- 1. feat: migrate to native fetch, Node 20+ required
85
- 2. PostHog Node now compresses messages with GZip before sending them to our servers when the runtime supports compression. This reduces network bandwidth and improves performance. Network traffic interceptors and test assertions on payloads must handle GZip decompression to inspect the data. Alternatively, you can disable compression by setting `disableCompression: true` in the client configuration during tests.

287
-
288
- ## Added
289
-
290
- 1. Adds a `disabled` option and the ability to change it later via `posthog.disabled = true`. Useful for disabling PostHog tracking for example in a testing environment without having complex conditional checking
291
- 2. Adds a new `featureFlagsRequestTimeoutMs` timeout parameter for feature flags which defaults to 3 seconds, updated from the default 10s for all other API calls.
292
- 3. `shutdown` takes a `shutdownTimeoutMs` param with a default of 30000 (30s). This is the time to wait for flushing events before shutting down the client. If the timeout is reached, the client will be shut down regardless of pending events.
293
- 4. Flushes will now try to flush up to `maxBatchSize` (default 100) in one go
294
- 5. Queued events are limited up to `maxQueueSize` (default 1000) and the oldest events are dropped when the limit is reached
295
- 6. Sets `User-Agent` headers with SDK name and version for RN
296
-
297
- ## Removed
298
-
299

308
- 2. Fixes some typos in types
309
-
310

321
-
322
- 1. Adds a `disabled` option and the ability to change it later via `posthog.disabled = true`. Useful for disabling PostHog tracking for example in a testing environment without having complex conditional checking
323
- 2. Fixes some typos in types
324
- 3. `shutdown` and `shutdownAsync` takes a `shutdownTimeoutMs` param with a default of 30000 (30s). This is the time to wait for flushing events before shutting down the client. If the timeout is reached, the client will be shut down regardless of pending events.
325
- 4. Adds a new `featureFlagsRequestTimeoutMs` timeout parameter for feature flags which defaults to 3 seconds, updated from the default 10s for all other API calls.
326
-
327
- # 3.6.3 - 2024-02-15
328
-
329
- 1. fix: using `captureMode=form` won't throw an error and retry unnecessarily
330
-
331
- # 3.6.2 - 2024-02-06
332
-
333
- 1. Swapped to `uuidv7` for unique ID generation

342
-
343
- # 3.5.0 - 2024-01-09
344
-
345
- 1. When local evaluation is enabled, we automatically add flag information to all events sent to PostHog, whenever possible. This makes it easier to use these events in experiments.
346
- 2. Fixes a bug where in some rare cases we may drop events when send_feature_flags is enabled on capture.
347
-
348
- # 3.4.0 - 2024-01-09
349
-
350
- 1. Numeric property handling for feature flags now does the expected: When passed in a number, we do a numeric comparison. When passed in a string, we do a string comparison. Previously, we always did a string comparison.
351
- 2. Add support for relative date operators for local evaluation.
352
-
353
- # 3.3.0 - 2024-01-02
354
-
355
- 1. Adds PostHogSentryIntegration to allow automatic capturing of exceptions reported via the @sentry/node package
356
-
357
- # 3.2.1 - 2023-12-15
358
-
359
- 1. Fixes issue where a background refresh of feature flags could throw an unhandled error. It now emits to be detected by `.on('error', ...)`
360
-
361
- # 3.2.0 - 2023-12-05
362
-
363
- 1. Fixes issues with Axios imports for non-node environments like Cloudflare workers
364
- 2. Uses the globally defined `fetch` if available, otherwise imports and uses axios as a polyfill
365
-
366
- # 3.1.3 - 2023-10-27
367
-
368
- 1. Updates axios dependency
369
-
370
- # 3.1.2 - 2023-08-17
371
-
372
- 1. Returns the current flag property with $feature_flag_called events, to make it easier to use in experiments
373
-
374
- # 3.1.1 - 2023-04-26
375
-
376
- 1. Replace crypto library with pure-js rusha library which makes posthog-node work with Cloudflare Workers in Next.js edge runtime.
377
-
378
- # 3.1.0 - 2023-04-19
379
-
380
- 1. Some small fixes to incorrect types
381
- 2. Fixed fetch compatibility by aligning error handling
382
- 3. Added two errors: PostHogFetchHttpError (non-2xx status) and PostHogFetchNetworkError (fetch network error)
383
- 4. Added .on('error', (err) => void)
384
- 5. shutdownAsync now ignores fetch errors. They should be handled with .on('error', ...) from now on.
385
-
386
- # 3.0.0 - 2023-04-14
387
-
388
- Breaking change:
389
-
390
- All events by default now send the `$geoip_disable` property to disable geoip lookup in app. This is because usually we don't
391
- want to update person properties to take the server's location.
392
-
393
- The same now happens for feature flag requests, where we discard the IP address of the server for matching on geoip properties like city, country, continent.
394
-
395
- To restore previous behaviour, you can set the default to False like so:
396
-
397
- ```javascript
398
- const posthog = new PostHog(PH_API_KEY, {
399
- host: PH_HOST,
400
- disableGeoip: false,
401
- })
402
- ```
403
-
404
- # 2.6.0 - 2023-03-14
405
-
406
- 1. Add support for all cohorts local evaluation in feature flags.
407
-
408
- # 2.5.4 - 2023-02-27
409
-
410
- 1. Fix error log for local evaluation of feature flags (InconclusiveMatchError(s)) to only show during debug mode.
411
-
412
- # 2.5.3 - 2023-02-21
413
-
414
- 1. Allow passing in a distinctId to `groupIdentify()`.
415
- 2. Fix a bug with active feature flags on capture events, where non-active flags would be added to the list as well.
416
-
417
- # 2.5.2 - 2023-02-17
418
-
419
- 1. Fix issue where properties passed to `.identify` were not set correctly
420
-
421
- # 2.5.1 - 2023-02-16
422
-
423
- 1. Make sure shutdown waits for pending promises to resolve. Fixes a problem with using PostHog Node in serverless environments.
424
-
425
- # 2.5.0 - 2023-02-15
426
-
427
- 1. Removes shared client from `posthog-node`, getting rid of some race condition bugs when capturing events.
428
- 2. Sets minimum version of node.js to 15
429
-
430
- # 2.4.0 - 2023-02-02
431
-
432
- 1. Adds support for overriding timestamp of capture events

- Breaking changes:
471
-
472
- 1. Feature flag defaults are no more. When we fail to compute any flag, we return `undefined`. All computed flags return either `true`, `false` or `String`.
473
- 2. Minimum PostHog version requirement is 1.38
474
- 3. Default polling interval for feature flags is now set at 30 seconds. If you don't want local evaluation, don't set a personal API key in the library.
475
- 4. The `callback` parameter passed as an optional last argument to most of the methods is no longer supported
476
- 5. The CLI is no longer supported
477
-
478
- What's new:
479
-
480
- 1. You can now evaluate feature flags locally (i.e. without sending a request to your PostHog servers) by setting a personal API key, and passing in groups and person properties to `isFeatureEnabled` and `getFeatureFlag` calls.
481
- 2. Introduces a `getAllFlags` method that returns all feature flags. This is useful for when you want to seed your frontend with some initial flags, given a user ID.
