Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@commitlint/cli versions 17.5.0 and 17.5.1 are both command-line interface tools designed to lint commit messages, ensuring they adhere to established conventions. This promotes consistency and readability across a project's commit history. A key benefit for developers is consistent commit messages, which is great for automated changelog generation, improved collaboration, and easier debugging. Both versions depend on core packages like execa for executing commands, yargs for command-line argument parsing, and @commitlint/lint, @commitlint/load, and @commitlint/format for the core linting functionality.

The primary difference between the two versions lies in the updated dependency @commitlint/read. Version 17.5.1 utilizes @commitlint/read version 17.5.1, while version 17.5.0 relies on version 17.4.4 of the same package. While not explicitly detailed, this suggests a bug fix, improved functionality, or performance enhancement within the @commitlint/read package specifically, related to how the CLI reads data, presumably commit messages. Because @commitlint/read handles reading the commit messages, this is critical for accurate linting. For users, upgrading to 17.5.1 ensures they benefit from the latest improvements within the commit message reading process itself, ultimately leading to more reliable and accurate commit message validation. Both packages include similar development dependencies, mainly relating to testing and TypeScript type definitions which are crucial to ensure the stability and maintanability of the package.
