Version 6.0.0 Details

Entities version 6.0.0 represents an incremental update over the previous stable version, 5.0.0, offering developers improvements in tooling and potentially bug fixes, without major breaking changes to the core functionality of encoding and decoding XML and HTML entities. Both versions share the same BSD-2-Clause license, author (Felix Boehm), and funding link, indicating a consistent maintenance and development approach.

The key changes lie in the development dependencies. Version 6.0.0 sees upgrades across the board, leveraging newer versions of tools like TypeScript (5.7.2 vs 5.5.2), ESLint (8.57.1 vs 8.57.0), Prettier (3.4.2 vs 3.3.2), and various related plugins. This update brings access to the latest linting rules, formatting options, and TypeScript features, potentially improving code quality and developer experience. Vitest has migrated from v1.6.0 to v2.0.2. Notably, @types/node jumps from v20.14.8 to v22.10.2 which means it supports new features of node, making the library overall more robust. The unpacked size has slightly increased from 538592 to 540419 bytes. Furthermore, version 6.0.0 was released much later "2024-12-22T18:18:13.477Z" than version 5.0.0 "2024-06-26T13:31:28.842Z" allowing fixes to be done over time.

For developers already using entities, upgrading to 6.0.0 ensures they benefit from the latest tooling improvements. New projects should also prefer version 6.0.0 for a more modern development environment. The core purpose of the library remains the same: efficient and reliable encoding and decoding of entities in XML and HTML documents.
