Async version 3.2.2 is a minor update to the popular asynchronous JavaScript utility library, building upon the foundation of version 3.2.1. Both versions share the same core description: providing higher-order functions and common patterns to simplify asynchronous code management. Crucially, both versions list zero direct dependencies, indicating a commitment to lightweight design and minimal impact on project size, making them attractive to developers concerned with bundle size.
The key difference lies in the updated dist metadata. Version 3.2.2 boasts a slightly increased unpackedSize (816672 bytes) compared to version 3.2.1 (816097 bytes), suggesting minor internal adjustments or additions, like bug fixes or performance tweaks. Both versions maintain the same fileCount (137), so no files were added or removed. The releaseDate also shows version 3.2.2 was published later, on October 28, 2021, compared to August 5, 2021, for version 3.2.1, solidifying that it's a newer release.
While the core functionality and developer experience remain largely consistent, developers should always favor the latest 3.2.2 version to benefit from potential improvements to underlying stability and bug fixes. Though both dependency lists of development tools remain identical (chai, mocha, eslint, etc.) highlighting a continued commitment to quality assurance. Async remains a reliable choice for simplifying asynchronous workflows in various JavaScript environments, including Node.js and browsers.
