Date-fns version 0.15.0 represents a minor update over the previous stable version, 0.14.11, in this popular JavaScript date utility library. Both versions, described as "Date helpers," share the same core purpose of simplifying date manipulation within JavaScript applications. Key library features are consistent across versions.
The primary distinctions lie in the development dependencies used for testing and linting. Version 0.15.0 introduces several new development dependencies. eslint and eslint-config-toptal for code linting and formatting, enhancing code quality. karma-mocha-reporter provides more detailed test reporting, and an updated webpack version alongside karma for module bundling and testing. Where version 0.14.11 used karmak (potentially a typo), version 0.15.0 upgrades to the more recent karma.
For developers choosing between these specific versions, the choice hinges on development environment preferences. If you require enhanced linting and more detailed test reporting, version 0.15.0 offers improvements. Both versions provide core date manipulation functionalities, so existing users may not need to upgrade unless they want to leverage the new development tools. The library continues its commitment to providing modular and lightweight date functions, ideal for projects aiming to minimize bundle size and maximize performance. Keep in mind that these are old versions, and the library has evolved significantly since then. Always consider the latest stable release for your projects.
