Version 3.0.4 Details

Acorn version 3.0.4 represents a subtle but potentially important update to the popular ECMAScript parser. While the core description remains the same, developers should note the change in release date, from February 10th 2016 to February 25th 2016. This two-week gap suggests bug fixes or minor enhancements were implemented. The devDependencies sections are identical, indicating that the tools used for building and testing Acorn haven't changed. This implies the update likely focuses on the core parsing logic itself.

The dist section reveals distinct tarball URLs, confirming that version 3.0.4 contains its own unique build. For developers, this means a direct upgrade from 3.0.2 could introduce compatibility refinements or address specific parsing edge cases encountered in the previous version. While not a major version leap, users who rely on Acorn in production environments, particularly for parsing complex or unconventional JavaScript code, should test the newer version thoroughly after upgrading. Given the unchanged dependencies, the upgrade *should* be smooth but verifying correct parsing behavior is always recommended, particular for projects using Acorn to power code analysis, transformation, or tooling. For new users, naturally the newer version is the optimal starting point.
