# Changes

## [5.5.0](https://github.com/neovim/node-client/compare/v5.4.0...v5.5.0)

- fix: "Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not an object" if `api/Buffer` is required before the
  rest of the package. https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim/issues/2671
- feat: `findNvim(…, { cmds: … })` checks multi-part commands (and skips
  searching the default locations). Example: `['wsl.exe', '-d', 'Ubuntu', 'nvim']`.
  Results have `cmd`; `path` is deprecated. #432

## [5.4.0](https://github.com/neovim/node-client/compare/v5.3.0...v5.4.0)

- feat: add `NeovimClient.close()`, `Transport.close()` #482
- fix(findNvim): handle invalid versions
- feat(findNvim): version parsing robustness

## [5.3.0](https://github.com/neovim/node-client/compare/v5.2.1...v5.3.0)

- `findNvim` supports `firstMatch` parameter which callers can use to stop
  searching after the first valid Nvim is found. #370
- `findNvim` now searches various common locations, in addition to `$PATH`. That
  makes it more useful for GUIs where `$PATH` is often different than the user's
  shell. #267
- `findNvim` supports optional `paths` and `dirs` parameters.
- Invalid RPC error now shows the contents of the invalid RPC message. #404

## [4.11.0](https://github.com/neovim/node-client/compare/v4.10.0...v4.11.0) (2024-02-07)
