Version 3.6.0 Details

Date-fns 3.6.0 introduces several intriguing changes compared to version 3.5.0, impacting developers working with this popular JavaScript date utility library. While the core functionality remains consistent, subtle shifts in the package's structure and content are evident. One key observation is the increased size of the package. Version 3.6.0 exhibits a significantly larger unpacked size of 22,153,202 bytes compared to 3.5.0's 4,934,687 bytes and also a higher file count (4782 vs 4389). This suggests the inclusion of potentially new features, expanded documentation, or more comprehensive test suites.

Developers should investigate the release notes to understand the specific additions contributing to this size increase and evaluate its impact on their project's bundle size. Dependency-wise, both versions share an identical set of devDependencies, indicating no functional changes related to tooling or testing procedures. However, the updated releaseDate (March 18, 2024, for 3.6.0 versus March 15, 2024, for 3.5.0) confirms 3.6.0 as the more recent release, implying bug fixes, performance improvements, or incremental feature enhancements. The tarball URLs in the dist object point to unique package archives, solidifying the distinct nature of each release. Users should carefully examine migration guides or change logs to understand the specific modifications and ensure smooth upgrades. While the exact reasons for a size increase is unclear without inspecting the source code, for such a big delta it's likely related to some bundling issue on the release and not new code.
