@nestjs/common is a fundamental package within the NestJS ecosystem, a framework designed for building efficient and scalable Node.js server-side applications. These two specific versions, 2.0.0 and 1.0.2, reveal an evolution of the core functionalities. Both versions share core attributes: they're described as a component of Nest, highlight the framework's focus on modern, fast, and powerful web development and also use the same dependencies. Notably, both versions depend on cli-color for terminal styling and require reflect-metadata as a peer dependency ensuring compatibility with reflection capabilities. Both are released under the MIT license, indicating permissive usage, modification, and distribution. Kamil Mysliwiec is listed as the author.
The key difference lies in the version number and release date. Version 2.0.0 signifies a potentially significant update or introduction of breaking changes compared to 1.0.2. The increment from 1.x to 2.x suggests the kind of non-backward-compatible API changes, new features, or significant internal refactoring. Considering only a difference of one hour between the two versions release date, could seem that the upgrade was related to a release problem. Developers considering an upgrade from 1.0.2 to 2.0.0 should consult the NestJS changelog or release notes for a detailed explanation of the modifications, new features, deprecations, and potential breaking changes. This will ensure a smooth transition and prevent unexpected issues in their applications.
