Version 2.20.2 Details

Date-fns 2.20.2 is a minor release of the popular JavaScript date utility library, building upon the foundation laid by version 2.20.1. Both versions provide a comprehensive suite of functions for parsing, formatting, manipulating, and validating dates in JavaScript, emphasizing immutability and modularity to avoid common pitfalls associated with the native Date object. The packages target developers seeking a modern, lightweight, and tree-shakeable alternative to larger date libraries like Moment.js.

While the core functionality remains consistent between versions, examining the dist section reveals subtle differences. Version 2.20.2 reports a slightly larger unpacked size of 5,773,375 bytes compared to 5,770,162 bytes for version 2.20.1. This suggests minor code changes, potentially including bug fixes, performance improvements, or documentation updates. Developers might notice these changes via improved stability or performance across different browsers and JavaScript runtimes. Additionally, the release dates signal that version 2.20.2 was published just a few days after version 2.20.1. Examining the project's changelog is recommended to fully understand what motivated the new deployment, but it usually hints at resolving issues discovered shortly after releasing the previous one. Considering date-fns's focus on correctness and adherence to international standards, these updates showcase the project's commitment to maintain a high quality library.
