Cloudflare Worker Compatibility

Cloudworker strives to be as similar to the Cloudflare Worker runtime as possible. A script should behave the same when executed by Cloudworker and when run within Cloudflare Workers. Please file an issue for scenarios in which Cloudworker behaves differently. As behavior differences are found, this package will be updated to match the Cloudflare Worker runtime. This may result in breakage if scripts depended on those behavior differences.

Release Process

For beta releases:

• Create a new release branch named v[version]-beta. e.g. v0.0.10-beta
• Run npm version [version]-beta.[beta number]. e.g npm version 0.0.10-beta.1
• Push branch to origin.
• Run npm publish --tag beta.
• Create a new release in Github using tag created by npm version, write relevant release notes, and ensure “This is a pre-release” is checked.
• Bug fixes and changes should be made on feature branches, merged into master, and then merged into the release branch.
• Subsequent beta releases of the same beta version should be made off of the same release branch.

For production releases:

• Merge release branch (if one exists) into master.
• Run npm version [version]. e.g. npm version 0.0.10
• Push master to origin.
• Run npm publish.
• Create a new release in Github using tag created by npm version and copy release notes from beta.
