Date-fns 2.11.1 is a minor patch release over version 2.11.0 of this popular modern JavaScript date utility library. Both versions offer a comprehensive suite of functions for manipulating and formatting dates, designed as a lightweight and modular alternative to Moment.js. Developers will appreciate the consistent API, clear documentation, and the fact that it's designed to be tree-shakable, leading to smaller bundle sizes for web applications. No dependencies are shipped in both versions, which promotes independent use.
The key difference between the two versions lies in the dist object. Version 2.11.1 has a slightly higher file count (4544 vs 4540) and a slightly larger unpacked size (10504868 bytes vs 10500824 bytes) compared to 2.11.0. This suggests that version 2.11.1 includes some bug fixes or minor improvements that have added to the package size, but should not introduce additional breaking changes or features. Date-fns helps developers avoid the bloat of larger date libraries, focusing on individual functions performing specific tasks that would otherwise make the final bundle of the web application much heavier. Both versions were released in March 2020, with 2.11.1 being released two weeks after 2.11.0.
