@commitlint/cli version 14.1.0 represents a minor update over the preceding version 14.0.0, providing refinements and potentially bug fixes to the commit message linting tool. Both versions share a core purpose: ensuring commit messages adhere to a defined format, promoting consistency and clarity throughout a project's history. Developers leveraging either version benefit from improved collaboration and easier code navigation.
The key differences lie primarily within the dependency versions. Version 14.1.0 incorporates updates to @commitlint/lint, @commitlint/load, and @commitlint/format, all bumped to version 14.1.0 from 14.0.0. Notably, the @commitlint/read dependency remains at version 14.0.0, suggesting no changes were required in that particular module. These updates likely contain enhancements or bug fixes related to the linting, loading configurations, and formatting of commit messages. While the changes between minor versions are often subtle, they can address specific edge cases or improve the overall user experience.
Developers upgrading from 14.0.0 to 14.1.0 should anticipate minor improvements in linting accuracy or configuration handling. For new users, both versions offer a robust solution for enforcing commit message conventions, aided by dependencies like yargs for command-line argument parsing and lodash for utility functions. The resolve-from and resolve-global dependencies assist in locating necessary modules, ensuring a smooth setup process. The release date indicates 14.1.0 was released shortly after 14.0.0, indicating a course correction and adding stability to the package overall. The slight increase in unpacked size from 53015 to 53181 in the later version might reflect added code or resource updates.
