Version 1.8.0 Details

Clang-format versions 1.8.0 and 1.7.0 are both Node.js wrappers around the clang-format tool, designed to help developers format C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code according to a consistent style. Examining these two releases, we see that the core functionality remains consistent. Both versions share the same core dependencies: async for asynchronous operations, glob for file pattern matching, and resolve for module resolution. They also maintain the same licensing under Apache-2.0, ensuring broad usability.

The key difference lies in the updated dist metadata as version 1.8.0, released on April 29, 2022, has a slightly larger unpacked size of 8760468 bytes compared to version 1.7.0's 8698229 bytes released on April 13, 2022. While the file count remains the same at 15, the increased size suggests potential updates to the underlying clang-format binary included within the package, bug fixes, or slight modifications in the wrapper logic. Thus, by upgrading to version 1.8.0 developers can potentially benefit from the latest formatting rules and enhancements incorporated within clang-format and enjoy a more stable wrapper. For developers relying heavily on automated code formatting as part of their workflow, keeping abreast of such updates ensures continued compatibility and access to the most current formatting capabilities.
