Version 4.0.3 Details

Date-format version 4.0.3 is a minor patch release improving upon version 4.0.2 of this utility, which has been consistently providing date formatting capabilities to JavaScript developers since 2013. Both versions maintain the core functionality of formatting Date objects into strings according to specified patterns, licensed under the permissive MIT license and available on GitHub for transparent contribution.

However, a key difference lies in the developer tooling. Version 4.0.3 introduces nyc for test coverage reporting and upgrades eslint and mocha to 8.7.0 and 9.1.4 respectively, suggesting improvements in code quality and testing practices. Version 4.0.2 uses older versions 8.6.0 and 9.1.3 respectively. The inclusion of nyc in 4.0.3 ensures better insights into the test coverage, providing developers with increased confidence in the library's reliability.

While the core API and usage remain consistent between the two versions, developers should consider upgrading to 4.0.3 for the enhanced development environment, particularly the better linting and more comprehensive test coverage reporting offered by the updated tooling. The unpacked size has increased marginally from 10927 to 11073, likely due to the added test coverage infrastructure, remaining lightweight nevertheless. The upgrade demonstrates a commitment to code quality and robust testing practices.
