Conventional Changelog Express has released version 5.0.0, marking an update from the previous stable version 4.0.0. Both versions serve as presets for conventional-changelog, tailored for projects using Express.js. The core functionality remains consistent: generating changelogs based on standardized commit messages. However, several refinements distinguish the new release.
Version 5.0.0 boasts a streamlined package structure, indicated by a slight reduction in both fileCount (from 11 to 10) and unpackedSize (from 6955 to 6370 bytes), suggesting potential improvements in efficiency and a leaner codebase. This could translate to faster installation times, especially in environments with limited bandwidth and processing power.
A key difference is the explicit addition of the directory field within the repository object in version 5.0.0, pointing to "packages/conventional-changelog-express". This clarifies the package's location within the larger conventional-changelog repository, which is beneficial for contributors and developers navigating the codebase.
The updated releaseDate of May 3, 2024, confirms that version 5.0.0 incorporates recent updates and improvements that are not reflected in the earlier August 27, 2023, release of version 4.0.0. Developers should evaluate upgrading to leverage any bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new feature support included in the latest release. Both versions are licensed under ISC and authored by Steve Mao.
