Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Commander version 12.1.0 introduces several key updates compared to the previous stable version, 12.0.0, primarily focusing on development dependencies and tooling enhancements, which indirectly benefit developers using the library. One significant change includes the addition of more modern linting and formatting tools, with @eslint/js being introduced at version ^8.56.0, along with prettier at version ^3.2.5, eslint-plugin-jsdoc at version ^48.1.0, prettier-plugin-jsdoc at version ^1.3.0 and eslint-config-prettier at version ^9.1.0. These upgrades suggest an increased emphasis on code quality and maintainability. The removal of older linting tools like eslint-plugin-n, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-promise, eslint-config-standard, @typescript-eslint/parser, @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin, and eslint-config-standard-with-typescript indicates a shift towards a more streamlined and modern tooling setup.

For developers, these updates translate into potentially fewer linting errors, better code consistency, and improved documentation generation. While the core functionality of Commander remains largely the same, the enhanced development environment ensures that the library is built and maintained with higher standards. The release date of version 12.1.0 is May 18, 2024, signaling a more recent update cycle compared to version 12.0.0 released in February 3, 2024, which shows an active maintenance. The increase in unpackedSize also hints at potential under-the-hood improvements. Thus, developers can expect a more robust and well-maintained command-line interface solution with Commander 12.1.0.
