Brace expansion, a library providing shell-like brace expansion capabilities in JavaScript, has released version 3.0.1, a minor update following version 3.0.0. Both versions share the same core functionality of expanding brace patterns as found in sh/bash shells, making them useful for generating lists of strings based on patterns. They both depend on "balanced-match" version "^3.0.0" for handling balanced delimiters within the expansion patterns and include "standard" and "@c4312/matcha" as development dependencies for linting and testing respectively.
The key difference lies in the release date and potentially some internal fixes or optimizations. Version 3.0.0 was released in October 2023, while 3.0.1 was released significantly later. The unpacked size of version 3.0.1 has increased slightly. Developers using brace-expansion should consider upgrading to 3.0.1 to benefit from any bug fixes or performance improvements implemented since the previous release. The library, licensed under MIT, remains a reliable tool for developers needing brace expansion functionality. Check the project's repository for specific details on the changes included in the update. The core functionality remains consistent; thus, upgrading should be straightforward with minimal to no code changes required in most cases. Consider updating primarily for stability and potential minor performance gains.
