(POSSIBLY) BREAKING CHANGES:
- the changes from version 4.6.0 now also apply
in when using the compile-option "strict: true". Access to prototype properties is forbidden completely by default, specific properties or methods
can be allowed via runtime-options. See #1633 for details. If you are using Handlebars as documented, you should not be accessing prototype properties
from your template anyway, so the changes should not be a problem for you. Only the use of undocumented features can break your build.
That is why we only bump the patch version despite mentioning breaking changes.

BREAKING CHANGES:
- access to prototype properties is forbidden completely by default,
specific properties or methods can be allowed via runtime-options.
See #1633 for details.
If you are using Handlebars as documented, you should not be accessing prototype
properties from your template anyway, so the changes should not be a problem
for you. Only the use of undocumented features can break your build.
That is why we only bump the minor version despite mentioning breaking changes.

, 0817dad
, 93516a0
Security:
- The properties
__proto__
, __defineGetter__
, __defineSetter__
and __lookupGetter__
have been added to the list of "properties that must be enumerable".
If a property by that name is found and not enumerable on its parent,
it will silently evaluate to undefined
. This is done in both the compiled template and the "lookup"-helper.
This will prevent new Remote-Code-Execution exploits that have been
published recently.
Compatibility notes:
- Due to the security-fixes. The semantics of the templates using
__proto__
, __defineGetter__
, __defineSetter__
and __lookupGetter__
in the respect that those expression now return
undefined
rather than their actual value from the proto.
- The semantics have not changed in cases where the properties are enumerable, as in:
{
__proto__: 'some string';
}
- The change may be breaking in that respect, but we still only
increase the patch-version, because the incompatible use-cases
are not intended, undocumented and far less important than fixing
Remote-Code-Execution exploits on existing systems.

Features:
- Add new runtime option
allowCallsToHelperMissing
to allow calling blockHelperMissing

Breaking changes:
Compatibility notes:
Both bullet points imly that Handlebars is not 100% percent compatible to 4.2.0, despite the minor version bump.
We consider it more important to resolve a major security issue than to maintain 100% compatibility.
Commits
v4.2.1 - September 20th, 2019
Bugfixes:
- The "browser" property in the package.json has been updated to use the common-js builds instead of the minified UMD -

Bugfixes:
Features:
- #1540 - added "browser"-property to package.json, resolves #1102 (@ouijan)
Compatibility notes:
- The new "browser"-property should not break anything, but you can never be sure. The integration test for webpack
shows that it works, but if it doesn't please open an issue.
Commits
v4.1.2-0 - August 25th, 2019

- chore: add missing typescript dependency, add package-lock.json -
594f1e3
- test: remove safari from saucelabs -
871accc
Bugfixes:
- fix: prevent RCE through the "lookup"-helper -
cd38583
Compatibility notes:
Access to the constructor of a class thought {{lookup obj "constructor" }}
is now prohibited. This closes
a leak that only half closed in versions 4.0.13 and 4.1.0, but it is a slight incompatibility.
This kind of access is not the intended use of Handlebars and leads to the vulnerability described
in #1495. We will not increase the major version, because such use is not intended or documented,
and because of the potential impact of the issue (we fear that most people won't use a new major version
and the issue may not be resolved on many systems).
Commits
v4.1.1 - March 16th, 2019

bacd473
- chore: Use node 10 to build handlebars -
78dd89c
- chore/doc: Add more release docs -
6b87c21
Compatibility notes:
Access to class constructors (i.e. ({}).constructor
) is now prohibited to prevent
Remote Code Execution. This means that following construct will no work anymore:
class SomeClass {
}
SomeClass.staticProperty = 'static'
var template = Handlebars.compile('{{constructor.staticProperty}}');
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = template(new SomeClass());
// expected: 'static', but now this is empty.
This kind of access is not the intended use of Handlebars and leads to the vulnerability described in #1495. We will not increase the major version, because such use is not intended or documented, and because of the potential impact of the issue (we fear that most people won't use a new major version and the issue may not be resolved on many systems).

Compatibility notes:
- Depthed paths are now conditionally pushed on to the stack. If the helper uses the same context, then a new stack is not created. This leads to behavior that better matches expectations for helpers like
if
that do not seem to alter the context. Any instances of ../
in templates will need to be checked for the correct behavior under 4.0.0. In general templates will either reduce the number of ../
instances or leave them as is. See #1028.
- The
=
character is now HTML escaped. This closes a potential exploit case when using unquoted attributes, i.e. <div foo={{bar}}>
. In general it's recommended that attributes always be quoted when their values are generated from a mustache to avoid any potential exploit surfaces.
- AST constructors have been dropped in favor of plain old javascript objects
- The runtime version has been increased. Precompiled templates will need to use runtime of at least 4.0.0.

Fix compiler program de-duping - 9e3f824
Compatibility notes:
- The default build now outputs a generic UMD wrapper. This should be transparent change but may cause issues in some environments.
- Runtime compatibility breaks in both directions. Ensure that both compiler and client are upgraded to 2.0.0-beta.1 or higher at the same time.
programWithDepth
has been removed an instead an array of context values is passed to fields needing depth lookups.
false
values are now printed to output rather than silently dropped
- Lines containing only block statements and whitespace are now removed. This matches the Mustache spec but may cause issues with code that expects whitespace to exist but would not otherwise.
- Partials that are standalone will now indent their rendered content
AST.ProgramNode
's signature has changed.

#571 - uglify upgrade breaks compatibility with older versions of node
#587 - Partial inside partial breaks?
Compatibility notes:
- The project now includes separate artifacts for AMD, CommonJS, and global objects.
- AMD: Users may load the bundled
handlebars.amd.js
or handlebars.runtime.amd.js
files or load individual modules directly. AMD users should also note that the handlebars object is exposed via the default
field on the imported object. This gist provides some discussion of possible compatibility shims.
- CommonJS/Node: Node loading occurs as normal via
require
- Globals: The
handlebars.js
and handlebars.runtime.js
files should behave in the same manner as the v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 release.
- Build artifacts have been removed from the repository. npm, components/handlebars.js, cdnjs, or the builds page should now be used as the source of built artifacts.
- Context-stored helpers are now always passed the
options
hash. Previously no-argument helpers did not have this argument.
Commits
v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 - May 31 2013
- #515 - Add node require extensions support (@jjclark1982)
- #517 - Fix amd precompiler output with directories (@blessenm)
- #433 - Add support for unicode ids
- #469 - Add support for
?
in ids
- #534 - Protect from object prototype modifications
- #519 - Fix partials with . name (@jamesgorrie)
- #519 - Allow ID or strings in partial names
- #437 - Require matching brace counts in escaped expressions
- Merge passed partials and helpers with global namespace values
- Add support for complex ids in @data references
- Docs updates
Compatibility notes:
- The parser is now stricter on
{{{
, requiring that the end token be }}}
. Templates that do not
follow this convention should add the additional brace value.
- Code that relies on global the namespace being muted when custom helpers or partials are passed will need to explicitly pass an
undefined
value for any helpers that should not be available.
- The compiler version has changed. Precompiled templates with 1.0.12 or higher must use the 1.0.0 or higher runtime.

Prior Versions
When upgrading from the Handlebars 0.9 series, be aware that the
signature for passing custom helpers or partials to templates has
changed.
Instead of:
template(context, helpers, partials, [data]);
Use:
template(context, { helpers: helpers, partials: partials, data: data });
