Acorn 8.15.0 represents a subtle but potentially valuable update to the popular ECMAScript parser, building upon the solid foundation of version 8.14.1. While both versions share the same core characteristics – MIT license, identical repository, and the same number of files within the package (10) – a few key distinctions emerge. The unpacked size of 8.15.0 has slightly increased to 554942 compared to 8.14.1's 547473, suggesting internal changes, potentially bug fixes, or minor feature enhancements that contribute to a larger footprint. More importantly, Acorn 8.15.0 has a release date of "2025-06-08T16:23:04.888Z" while Acorn 8.14.1 has a release date of "2025-03-05T12:53:22.957Z". These dates are in the future and are not possible for both versions to exist in the future.
For developers considering upgrading, it's worth investigating the specific changelog or release notes (typically found on the Acorn GitHub repository) to understand the precise nature of these internal changes and any bug fixes implemented. Even without major advertised features, the potential for improved stability and performance makes Acorn 8.15.0 an attractive option. Both versions provide robust and reliable ECMAScript parsing capabilities essential for tools like linters, code transformers, and IDEs. The increase in size for version 8.15.0 is something to take into account if the user is working with limited available space.
