Date-fns version 2.20.3 is a minor update to the popular JavaScript date utility library, building upon the foundations laid by version 2.20.2. Both versions maintain the core mission of providing a modern and lightweight alternative to native Date objects, boasting a comprehensive suite of functions for date parsing, formatting, manipulation, and comparison including internationalization and time zone support.
A key difference lies in the dist metadata, particularly the unpackedSize. Version 2.20.3 sees a slight increase in unpacked size to 5797829 bytes, compared to 5773375 bytes of the version 2.20.2. This increase, while minimal, may indicate minor bug fixes, performance enhancements, or the addition of new, smaller features or tests. Given that it is a patch change we can assume the differences are not related to breaking changes or major features.
Both versions share an identical set of dependencies and devDependencies, indicating no changes to the underlying build process or testing environment. Developers will find the familiar suite of tools like Jest, ESLint, and Babel for testing, linting, and transpilation, and also have access to many other tools for documentation, code quality, and CI.
For developers choosing between these two versions, the update from 2.20.2 to 2.20.3 is recommended, considering it likely includes bug fixes and minor improvements without introducing breaking changes. Always refer to the official changelog for detailed information on the specific changes within a specific version, but the changes should be minor.
