Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

EJS (Embedded JavaScript) is a popular templating engine for JavaScript that allows developers to generate dynamic HTML content on both the server-side and client-side. Comparing versions 3.1.5 and 3.1.4 reveals a subtle but crucial update timeline. Both versions share identical dependencies, including "jake" for build automation, and development dependencies like "jsdoc" for documentation, "mocha" for testing, "eslint" for code linting, "lru-cache" for caching, "uglify-js" for minification, "browserify" for bundling, and "git-directory-deploy" for deployment. This consistency suggests that the core functionality and development workflow remain unchanged between these versions.

The key difference lies in the releaseDate. Version 3.1.5 was released moments later than 3.1.4. While the specific nature of the update between these two versions is not explicit from this data, the very close release times suggest version 3.1.5 likely contains a minor bug fix, a patch addressing a small issue that didn't warrant a major or minor version bump. Developers already using EJS 3.1.4 should consider upgrading to 3.1.5 to benefit from the latest, potentially improved, stable version. New users can confidently use either, but are generally recommended to use the newest, 3.1.5, to ensure they have the most up-to-date and reliable experience. Both versions share the same file count and unpacked size indicating that the update was targeted on a minor aspect of the code. The Apache-2.0 license continues to apply, offering developers flexibility in using and modifying the library.
