 All notable changes to the LaunchDarkly client-side JavaScript SDKs will be documented in this file. This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org).
 
+## [2.16.2] - 2020-01-27
+### Fixed:
+- If the user started to navigate away from the page, but then did not actually do so (for instance, if the application cancelled the `beforeunload` event, or if a nonstandard URL scheme caused the browser to launch an external app), the SDK could be left in a state where all of its HTTP requests would be made synchronously. This has been fixed so the only synchronous request the SDK makes is when it needs to flush events during a `beforeunload`. (Thanks, [edvinerikson](https://github.com/launchdarkly/js-client-sdk/pull/199)!)
+
 ## [2.16.1] - 2020-01-15
 **Note:** If you use the Relay Proxy, and have configured it to forward events, please update it to version 5.9.4 or later before using this version of the browser SDK. Otherwise you may encounter CORS errors in the browser.
