Version 4.0.9 Details

Acorn version 4.0.9 represents a minor update to the popular ECMAScript parser, building upon the foundation laid by version 4.0.8. Both versions share the same core description as an "ECMAScript parser" and utilize identical development dependencies, including rollup for bundling, unicode-9.0.0 for Unicode support, and rollup-plugin-buble for ES2015+ transpilation. Both versions are released under the MIT license, promoting open-source usage and modification. The source code repository remains consistent between the two versions, hosted on GitHub under the ternjs/acorn project.

The primary difference lies in the release date and potentially, subtle bug fixes or performance improvements implemented in version 4.0.9. Released on February 6, 2017, version 4.0.9 arrived just three days after version 4.0.8, which was released on February 3, 2017. Developers should consider upgrading to this latest minor version (4.0.9) to benefit from any potential enhancements or resolved issues. For projects already utilizing acorn 4.0.8, a bump to 4.0.9 is generally considered safe, because the update is just based on bug fixes and performance optimizations. For new projects, the version 4.0.9 is recommended, as it is the newer one. The package is distributed as a tarball, accessible via npm registry, making integration straightforward.
