Date-fns has released version 3.1.0 following closely on the heels of version 3.0.6. Both versions maintain the library's core mission: providing a modern, modular, and lightweight JavaScript date utility library. For developers already using date-fns, upgrading from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0 appears to be a minor uplift, with the primary distinction being a few additional days of development and refinement.
Looking at the package data there are minimal visible differences in the devDependencies, suggesting that the core tooling and testing infrastructure remain consistent. The focused developer might note a slight difference in package size. Version 3.1.0 has 4321 files and unpacked size of 4837433 compared to version 3.0.6 which had 4317 files and an unpacked size of 4846064. This shift could imply some internal restructuring, bug fixes, or minor feature additions that don't necessitate dependency updates. The newer version went release on 2024-01-05T09:46:34.200Z versus 2023-12-22T07:01:42.688Z of the older version, therefore it might include bug fixes from the previous version.
Developers should review the official changelog or release notes for a comprehensive list of changes, bug fixes, and potential breaking changes before upgrading. While the overarching functionality remains the same, even minor version bumps can introduce subtle modifications that impact existing code. Always test thoroughly after upgrading to ensure compatibility and prevent unexpected behavior. Date-fns continues to be a reliable choice for date manipulation in JavaScript projects.
