Version 2.0.1 Details

The bytes package, a small but useful utility for converting between human-readable byte strings (like "1TB") and their numerical byte equivalents (like 1099511627776), saw a minor but notable update from version 2.0.0 to 2.0.1. Both versions share the same core functionality: parsing byte strings and formatting bytes into human-readable strings, released under the permissive MIT license and maintained in a GitHub repository. TJ Holowaychuk remains the author, ensuring continuity in development philosophy.

The key difference lies in the removal of the node.extend dependency in version 2.0.1. While version 2.0.0 relied on node.extend, version 2.0.1 eliminates this dependency, potentially streamlining the package and improving its light weight nature in projects. For developers, this means a potentially smaller installation footprint and fewer transitive dependencies to manage.

Both versions include development dependencies for testing (chai and mocha), reassuring developers about the package's reliability and testing rigor. The library remains a convenient tool for developers dealing with file sizes, data limits, or any scenario where byte representation needs translation. Consider the updated version for a cleaner dependency tree.
