Version 0.2.4 Details

Browserify 0.2.4 introduces a modest update to the popular tool allowing developers to use Node.js-style require() statements within browser-side JavaScript. Comparing it to the previous stable version, 0.2.3, reveals a few key changes potentially impacting development workflows. The core functionality remains consistent: enabling modular JavaScript development for web applications by bundling dependencies for browser consumption.

A primary distinction lies in the devDependencies. Version 0.2.4 replaces the expresso testing framework, present in 0.2.3, with connect and traverse. The inclusion of connect suggests a shift towards potentially testing Browserify within a server context, indicating a more comprehensive approach to integration testing. traverse likely aids in analyzing and manipulating the abstract syntax tree (AST) of JavaScript code during the bundling process, potentially improving code optimization or dependency resolution.

While the core dependencies for compiling with CoffeeScript and achieving compatibility with older browsers via es5-shim, alongside findit and source for file manipulation and source definition, remain unchanged between the versions, this update signals an evolution in the testing and potential enhancement of the package's internal code processing. Developers should consider these changes if their existing build processes rely on expresso or if they're interested in leveraging the newer testing and code traversal capabilities afforded by connect and traverse. This update leans towards better development and maintenance practices, not affecting public API.
