Version 7.2.0 Details

Acorn version 7.2.0 brings subtle yet significant improvements over its predecessor, version 7.1.1, in the realm of ECMAScript parsing. While both maintain the core functionality of a lightweight and efficient parser under the MIT license, developers should note differences in their distribution sizes and release dates. Version 7.2.0, released on May 9, 2020, presents a slightly larger unpacked size of 1,113,050 bytes compared to version 7.1.1's 1,105,670 bytes released on March 1, 2020. The negligible size difference might indicate enhancements to the parsing engine, potentially including bug fixes, performance optimizations, or support for newly ratified ECMAScript features. The number of files in the package fileCount remains consistent at 11. Developers aiming for the latest bug fixes and potential incremental improvements to ECMAScript parsing accuracy may prefer version 7.2.0. If project size is critical and no regressions were identified in version 7.1.1, it will remain a valid option. As with any library upgrade, thorough testing is advised to confirm compatibility with existing codebases. The github repository url remains git+https://github.com/acornjs/acorn.git, and the license is MIT, therefore upgrading versions should not present any legal or compatibility concerns.
