@rollup/plugin-inject is a Rollup plugin designed to scan your modules for global variables and automatically inject the necessary import statements. This streamlines development by eliminating the need for manual import management for common globals, leading to cleaner and more maintainable code. Both version 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 offer this core functionality.
Looking at the metadata, the two versions share identical dependencies, devDependencies, peer dependencies, license and repository details. The key difference lies in their release dates and unpacked size. Version 5.0.1 was released on October 15, 2022, a few days after version 5.0.0 which was released on October 9, 2022. The unpacked size of version 5.0.1 is marginally larger (19001 bytes) than version 5.0.0 (18929 bytes), suggesting minor internal changes or bug fixes. Given the short time span and the similar sizes, upgrading from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 is likely a low-risk proposition.
When choosing which version to install, developers should prioritize the latest stable release (5.0.1). While the changes appear minimal, it's always prudent to use the newest patch as it may include bug fixes or performance improvements not explicitly detailed in the metadata. If you're already using 5.0.0, consider upgrading to 5.0.1 for the most up-to-date and potentially more stable experience. Both versions officially support Rollup versions 1.20.0, 2.0.0, and 3.0.0 as peer dependencies, ensuring broad compatibility with various Rollup configurations.
