Version 6.0.3 Details

Cross-env is a valuable tool for Node.js developers seeking to write cross-platform scripts that seamlessly manage environment variables. Comparing versions 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 reveals subtle but potentially relevant changes. Both versions maintain the core functionality of running scripts that set and use environment variables consistently across different operating systems, simplifying development workflows.

The most notable difference lies in the dependencies. Version 6.0.2 includes "@babel/runtime" as a dependency, which is absent in version 6.0.3. This suggests that version 6.0.3 might have removed the Babel runtime as a direct dependency. This could imply a minor performance improvement or a change in how the code is transpiled. However, this removal might affect users in specific environments needing Babel runtime and they could be forced to add it on their own. Both versions rely on "cross-spawn" at version "^7.0.0" ensuring consistent process spawning capabilities.

Both versions are licensed under the MIT license, providing developers with the freedom to use, modify, and distribute the software. They leverage the same development tooling indicated by the shared "kcd-scripts" dependency. Each version has a small unpacked size, being 27663 and 26913 bytes for 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 respectively. The difference suggests a small optimization of resources for 6.0.3. Version 6.0.3 was published slightly later, on October 2nd, 2019, while version 6.0.2 appeared on October 1st, 2019.

Developers should evaluate whether the removal of the direct dependency on "@babel/runtime" in version 6.0.3 impacts their projects based on their specific environment and needs for babel transpilation.
