Day.js version 1.9.5 represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 1.9.4. Both versions cement day.js's standing as a lightweight, immutable date and time library, offering a modern API familiar to those who've worked with Moment.js. The core value proposition remains consistent: a significantly smaller footprint (around 2KB) compared to Moment.js, making it ideal for projects where minimizing bundle size is crucial, especially in front-end development. Both share identical dependencies and devDependencies, suggesting the update primarily involved bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements rather than substantial architectural changes or API alterations.
However, a key difference appears in the dist section: version 1.9.5 lists an unpacked size of 566201 bytes, slightly larger than version 1.9.4's 562587 bytes. While seemingly small, this difference might indicate the introduction of new features or expanded functionality, the optimization of existing code or some adjustment in the internal file structure including some new locale files. The release date confirms a more recent update, with version 1.9.5 released on November 5th, 2020, after version 1.9.4 (October 23th, 2020). This makes version 1.9.5 the preferred choice for developers seeking the most up-to-date and potentially improved version of the library. Developers should consult the changelog for detailed information on the specific changes incorporated. Note that both versions don't have any dependencies, so integrating the package in a project is very simple.
