Browserify version 1.10.14 is a minor update to the popular browser-side require() tool, building upon version 1.10.13. Examining the metadata reveals minimal changes between the two releases, primarily revolving around the release date. Version 1.10.14 was published approximately two hours after version 1.10.13 on May 17th, 2012. The core functionality, description, dependencies (including crucial modules like nub, deputy, resolve, optimist, coffee-script, vm-browserify, http-browserify, and crypto-browserify), development dependencies (such as seq, tap, jade, lazy, dnode, connect, hashish, backbone, ecstatic, traverse, and jquery-browserify), license, repository, and author information remain consistent.
For developers already using Browserify, the jump from 1.10.13 to 1.10.14 likely represents a bug fix or very minor enhancement, rather than a significant feature addition. Given the nearly identical dependency lists, compatibility issues are unlikely. Users encountering any unexpected behavior with 1.10.13 might find that upgrading to 1.10.14 resolves the problem. However, the small timeframe between releases suggests the update is likely incremental. Because the code is the same, potential users can download previous versions if version 1.10.14 gives errors.
