A full version history of the bump-regex package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
bump-regex has evolved through several versions, offering developers a reliable way to increment version numbers within files via regular expressions. Initial versions (1.0.0 to 2.3.0) primarily focused on providing the core functionality with semver for semantic versioning. Versions 2.5.0 onward introduced some dependency changes. The addition and subsequent removal of lodash.clone, showcasing dependency management refinements. The consistent use of semver ^5.1.0 ensures backward compatibility for version bumping operations.
A notable shift occurs at version 2.5.1 where xtend is introduced as a dependency alongside semver, reflecting potential enhancements in object extension or merging capabilities within the package. This dependency remained until version 4.0.0.
Versions 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 include file count and unpacked size metadata in their distribution information, providing insight into the package's footprint. Version 4.0.0 marks a shift, removing the dependency on 'xtend'. This reflects a potential code refactor or adoption of alternative methods for object handling. Recent releases (4.0.0 and 4.1.0) continue to provide this critical tool for version control with refactored dependencies.
