Version 8.1.0 Details

Dotenv version 8.1.0 brings several updates to its developer tooling compared to version 8.0.0. While the core functionality of loading environment variables from a .env file remains consistent, the development dependencies have been upgraded. Most notably, tap for testing jumps from version 13.1.2 to version 14.6.1, indicating potential improvements in test stability, features or even performance. The popular sinon package, used for creating stubs, mocks, and spies for testing, also receives an update from 7.3.2 to 7.4.1. Flow, the static type checker, gets updated from 0.98.0 to 0.105.2. Standard, the javascript linter, moves from 12.0.1 to 13.1.0, bringing in potentially new linting rules and best practices. The version bump from standard-version 5.0.2 to 7.0.0 show a big upgrade indicating likely a new major version and breaking changes regarding versioning. standard-markdown is bumped slightly, from 5.0.1 to 5.1.0, implying minor improvements and bug fixes. The dist section also shows a slight increase, with the unpacked size going from 20040 bytes to 20428 bytes. This could be due to the upgraded dependencies or minor code modifications. This upgrade to version 8.1.0 would be interesting to developers already using the library that try to mantain their tools upgraded, or for developers that want to start developing new features on top of it, since it improves the developer experience.
