Version 1.20.0 Details

Date-fns is a modern JavaScript date utility library offering a comprehensive suite of functions for date manipulation and formatting. Versions 1.19.0 and 1.20.0 share identical core functionality, dependencies, and the MIT license, making upgrading straightforward for most users. Both versions boast a completely dependency-free architecture, resulting in a lightweight footprint ideal for front-end and back-end applications. They are designed with immutability in mind, ensuring that date objects are never modified directly, preventing unexpected side effects. The consistent API promotes ease of use, and the modular design allows developers to import only the needed functions, optimizing bundle sizes.

The primary difference between the two versions lies in the releaseDate: version 1.20.0 was published on December 14, 2016, while version 1.19.0 was released a day earlier, on December 13, 2016. This small time gap might indicate minor bug fixes or performance improvements in version 1.20.0. Developers should always use the newest version unless there's a specific incompatibility.

Developers interested in tooling will appreciate the extensive devDependencies used to test these versions, including Mocha, Sinon, Karma, and Webpack alongside linting and code formatting tools like Standard and Snazzy. These are used to ensure comprehensive testing, code quality, and consistent formatting. If you are looking for a robust and reliable toolset for date handling in JavaScript, date-fns provides a solid foundation, and both versions offer excellent functionality. Always check for newer releases and changelogs.
