Version 0.14.0 Details

Chrome Launcher version 0.14.0 introduces several notable changes compared to the older 0.13.4, impacting developers utilizing the package to automate Chrome browser instances. Dependency updates form a core difference. The newer version replaces mkdirp and rimraf with potentially more streamlined or modern alternatives, as these utilities are no longer explicitly listed as dependencies. Noticeably escape-string-regexp receives a significant upgrade from version 1.0.5 to 4.0.0, suggesting enhanced security or improved handling of regular expressions, crucial for developers sanitizing or validating user inputs.

The development environment also sees a shift with upgraded tooling. Version 0.14.0 adopts newer versions of mocha, ts-node, and typescript, enabling developers to leverage the latest testing frameworks and language features. The removal of @types/mkdirp and @types/rimraf reflects the removal of their respective packages from the regular dependencies. These changes collectively aim to provide a more robust and developer-friendly environment for building and testing applications that rely on automated Chrome instances. Developers should assess these dependency updates for compatibility within their projects and leverage the upgraded tooling for improved development workflows. The reduction in unpacked size, though relatively small, could indicate optimization efforts.
