Big-integer, a Javascript library for handling arbitrarily large integers, released version 1.6.48 as a minor update following closely after version 1.6.47. Both versions maintain the same core functionality, offering developers the ability to perform arithmetic operations on integers exceeding Javascript's native number limits. The library remains under the Unlicense license, providing maximum freedom for integration into various projects. Peter Olson continues as the author and maintainer, ensuring consistent support.
A key highlight for developers is the consistent set of development dependencies across both versions. Using tools like Typescript, Jasmine and Karma. These tools aid in maintaining code quality, running tests, and ensuring compatibility. The library also uses Uglifyjs for minification, optimizing the code for production environments where size matters.
While the core functionality remains the same, a notable difference lies in the *unpackedSize* of the distribution. Version 1.6.48 is slightly smaller, with an unpacked size of 174780 bytes, compared to 174782 bytes for version 1.6.47. The release date difference indicates recent activity and potential small fixes or tweaks. All in all, these metrics points to subtle improvements. Developers already using big-integer should consider upgrading to version 1.6.48 to get the potential benefits of the newest version.
