Bluebird is a popular JavaScript library providing a robust and performant Promises/A+ implementation. Version 2.8.1, released on January 20, 2015, followed closely on the heels of version 2.8.0, which was released just a day prior on January 19, 2015. Both versions share the same core description: a "Full featured Promises/A+ implementation with exceptionally good performance," highlighting Bluebird’s commitment to standardized promise behavior and speed.
The primary difference between the two versions resides within their development dependencies. Notably, version 2.8.1 updates the bluebird dependency itself, bumping it from version 2.5.2 in 2.8.0 to version 2.8.0. This seemingly self-referential dependency indicates that the update likely addresses internal testing or build processes rather than external API changes. Developers using Bluebird are unlikely to experience significant functional differences between these minor versions. Both include a comprehensive suite of development tools, including glob, open, acorn, mocha, sinon, jshint, mkdirp, rimraf, optimist, cli-table, uglify-js, browserify, cross-spawn, serve-static, jshint-stylish, and grunt-saucelabs, aimed at ensuring code quality, testing, and efficient build workflows. Bluebird remains under the MIT license and continues to be developed by Petka Antonov, reinforcing its stability and community support for developers needing a reliable promise library.
