Version 6.0.2 Details

Cross-env simplifies cross-platform environment variable management for npm scripts ensuring consistent behavior across different operating systems. Versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 are remarkably similar, sharing core dependencies like cross-spawn for platform-agnostic command execution and @babel/runtime for supporting modern JavaScript features. Both versions also utilize kcd-scripts as a dev dependency, suggesting a standardized approach to development and potentially testing. The license remains MIT, promoting open-source usage and modification. The author, Kent C. Dodds, and the repository details remain consistent, further emphasizing the core stability of the package.

The key difference lies in the release date and, surprisingly, the unpacked size within the dist object. Version 6.0.2 was released shortly after 6.0.1 on October 1st, 2019. More interesting is the slightly smaller unpacked size of 6.0.2 (27663 bytes) compared to 6.0.1 (27779 bytes), suggesting minor optimizations or bug fixes were implemented quickly. While the file count remains the same at 10, developers might benefit from the slight reduction in size, potentially indicating improved performance or reduced overhead. This quick update suggests a responsive maintainer addressing issues promptly, enhancing trust in the reliability of the package. For developers, choosing either version presents a stable solution, but 6.0.2 offers a minuscule advantage in terms of potentially fixed small bugs and slightly optimized overhead, making it the slightly preferred choice.
