Unexpected getObject() results since 3.1.3

[Brayyy]

Senario:

• We use this NPM package in a back-end Node.js service
• We are not responsible for generating the GPP string, only processing it
• We have no ability to force the end-user to use a specific version of the package when generating the GPP string

I'm working on updating our back-end service to use the latest version (3.1.5), but I'm finding unexpected results since 3.1.3.

My implementation is very basic:

// Setup...
// CmpApi is not designed to work with NodeJs. mock the window object
global.window = {};
global.window.__gpp = () => null;
const cmpApi = new CmpApi(1, 3);

// Usage per request...
cmpApi.setGppString(gppStr);
const gppObj = cmpApi.getObject();

Here three randomly chosen GPP strings, and the results of getObject() for versions 3.1.1 through 3.1.5:

The user has clearly has the SaleOptOut/SharingOptOut/KnownChildSensitiveDataConsents set non-zero, but later package versions are returning a negative indicator for these keys. I can pass these strings into https://iabgpp.com and https://www.gppdecoder.com, and they return as expected.

Is there something I'm missing here? I found a lot of bumpy/breaking updates in the last few patch versions.

With similar implementation on FE I get the same issue. Using 3.1.2 for now.

[Brayyy]

Re-testing up to 3.1.6 and 3.1.7.

const { CmpApi } = require("@iabgpp/cmpapi");
global.window = {};
global.window.__gpp = () => null;
const cmpApi = new CmpApi(1, 3);

function interpret(gppStr) {
    cmpApi.setGppString(gppStr);
    console.log(JSON.stringify(cmpApi.getObject()));
}

So it seems versions 3.1.3, 3.1.4, 3.1.5 had a bug where usnat keys SharingNotice, SaleOptOutNotice, SharingOptOutNotice, TargetedAdvertisingOptOutNotice, SensitiveDataProcessingOptOutNotice, SensitiveDataLimitUseNotice, SaleOptOut, SharingOptOut, TargetedAdvertisingOptOut, SensitiveDataProcessing, KnownChildSensitiveDataConsents always returned zero (possibly others), and some return incorrect values. It appears the correct values are being honored again starting in 3.1.6.

Separately, I found my encoded string DBABL~BVVKqqqqgg, as encoded by iabgpp.com months ago no longer is decodable. This suggests either a breaking change somewhere along the way in the encoding spec., and/or a buggy implimentation of the encoder/decoder. Either way, this string won't decode with iabgpp.com, but will decode with gppdecoder.com. All three of the strings I started with were generated around the same time from iabgpp.com. Maybe that was the source of the bug and this library was doing a poor job of handling backward compatiblilty?

@chuff is this also resolved in the upcoming set of PRs to be released?
