Conventional Changelog Express has released version 4.0.0, marking an update from the previous stable release, version 3.0.0. Both versions serve as presets for generating changelogs following the conventional changelog format specifically tailored for Express.js projects. They share the same ISC license, maintain the same repository location and author, Steve Mao.
The key difference appears in the unpackedSize of the package. Version 4.0.0 sees a slight increase to 6955 bytes compared to version 3.0.0's 6299 bytes; this likely indicates added features, dependency updates, or code refinements that enhance functionality or address previously existing issues. Developers should investigate the changelog (available within the main conventional-changelog repository) for a detailed breakdown of these changes to understand the specific improvements and decide if upgrading aligns with their project's needs.
The newer release was published on August 27, 2023, approximately two and a half months after version 3.0.0's release date of June 6, 2023. This suggests active maintenance and potential improvements driven by community feedback or evolving development practices. Package maintainers are encouraged to transition to version 4.0.0 in order to receive the latest benefits, bug fixes and improvements.
Developers looking for a straightforward way to automate changelog generation tailored for Express.js projects may find either version helpful. However, version 4.0.0 is generally preferrable for new installations, thanks to included improvements and the most recent upgrades.
