2.2.1
chrome-launcher shipped as a standalone module
The chrome-launcher module is now on npm. Great for working with Chrome headless.
Lighthouse viewer updated for Lighthouse 2.0
The Lighthouse Report Viewer can now view data from Lighthouse 2.x, including JSON saved from the CLI, exported from the Chrome extension or DevTools Audits panel. (#2521)
New contributors
Thanks to Katie Hempenius, Artur M, Kevin Farrugia, Piper Chester, Robin Drexler, and Mike Deverell. Due to the effort of these developers we now have an audit for checking for paste-blocked password fields, unified usage of toLocaleString(), a correct gulp recipe, a well-functioning chrome-launcher module, and improved clarity in the audit test descriptions. We truly appreciate all these improvements!
