@nestjs/common is a fundamental package within the NestJS framework, a popular choice for building scalable and maintainable Node.js server-side applications. Examining versions 9.1.5 and 9.1.4 reveals minimal code-level changes, suggesting the update primarily involves bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor adjustments that don't fundamentally alter existing APIs. Both versions share identical dependencies including "uuid": "9.0.0", "tslib": "2.4.0", and "iterare": "1.2.1". The peer dependencies, crucial for ensuring compatibility with other parts of the NestJS ecosystem (like RxJS, cache-manager, class-validator, reflect-metadata, and class-transformer), also remain consistent between the two versions, eliminating potential upgrade headaches for developers reliant on these integrations.
Crucially, the "fileCount"(378) and "unpackedSize"(397183) in the "dist" section are exact matches, further reinforcing the conclusion that the core codebase remains largely unchanged. The main discernible difference lies in their "releaseDate". Version 9.1.5 was released on 2022-10-21, approximately two weeks later than version 9.1.4 released on 2022-10-05. This time gap indicates that version 9.1.5 likely incorporates resolutions to issues discovered or reported in version 9.1.4. Therefore, upgrading to 9.1.5 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest refinements and stability enhancements within NestJS. Developers should always consult the official NestJS changelog for specific details on the changes included in each release.
