Version 0.1.5 Details

Benchmarked is a Node.js library designed to streamline the creation of benchmarks using file globs. Versions 0.1.4 and 0.1.5 share core functionality enabling developers to efficiently test the performance of JavaScript code snippets. Key features include leveraging popular dependencies like benchmark for accurate measurements, chalk for visually appealing terminal output, and glob (implicitly, through its usage) for flexible file selection. This simplifies the process of comparing different implementations or identifying performance bottlenecks in your code.

The jump from version 0.1.4 to 0.1.5 introduces subtle, yet notable changes. Primarily, the license field format has been updated. In version 0.1.4, the license information included both a type (MIT) and a url pointing to the license file in the repository. Version 0.1.5 simplifies this to just a string: "MIT". Secondly, the repository URL scheme changed from git:// to git+https://. This likely indicates a move towards enhanced security and potentially better compatibility with modern Git clients. Finally, and maybe most significantly, the release date jumps from March 25, 2015 to January 25, 2016 - a substantial delay. This suggests a long period of stability, but users might want to investigate the commit history on GitHub to understand any other under-the-hood refinements.

For developers, the consistent dependency list between the versions is reassuring, meaning no breaking changes were implemented to the main integrations. Upgrading seems relatively safe, with the primary benefit being adherence to potentially more secure Git protocols. The library remains a valuable asset for performance-conscious Javascript developers which wish to easily generate and manage benchmarks.
