Version 0.0.2 Details

The dotenv package, a small but helpful utility for loading environment variables from a .env file into process.env, saw a minor update from version 0.0.1 to 0.0.2 in July 2013. While both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, including mocha and should for testing, the key difference lies in the release date. Version 0.0.2 was published on July 10, 2013, a mere five days after version 0.0.1, released on July 5, 2013. This suggests that version 0.0.2 is likely a patch release addressing minor fixes, bug resolutions or small improvements over its predecessor.

For developers using dotenv, this information helps in deciding which version might be more reliable and updated. While both versions load environment variables,opting for the newer version, 0.0.2,is generally advisable as it may incorporate fixes addressing initial issues. Both versions offer a straightforward way to manage configuration settings. Storing sensitive data, API keys, and other configuration values directly in your code is discouraged as it can compromise security. dotenv provides a clean solution by abstracting these configurations into a .env file, keeping your codebase cleaner and easier to change. Each version is BSD licensed and comes from the same author, scottmotte.
