Version 0.1.18 Details

Async version 0.1.18 represents a subtle but potentially important evolution from version 0.1.17. Both versions offer developers higher-order functions designed to streamline asynchronous Javascript code, allowing for cleaner and more maintainable solutions for complex asynchronous tasks. The core mission of simplifying asynchronous workflows remains consistent.

Examining the dependency landscape reveals the key difference. Version 0.1.17 lists uglify-js as a direct dependency. In contrast, version 0.1.18 moves uglify-js into the devDependencies section. This suggests a shift in how uglify-js is used. In the earlier version, it appears the library was utilizing it as part of the core library logic (transpiling, backwards compatibility, etc.). By moving it to devDependencies, version 0.1.18 indicates uglify-js is now primarily used for development tasks such as minification before publishing, instead of contributing to core functionality. This change could represent optimisations or an evolution in the bundling process.

For developers using Async, this means the library gained one change: version 0.1.18 no longer necessarily requires uglify-js to be installed if you are using it as dependency, potentially offering a lighter dependency footprint impacting build times. Developers should always consult the documentation to confirm changes. Both stay true to the original author Caolan McMahon.
