Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

eslint-config-next is a vital tool for Next.js developers, providing a pre-configured ESLint setup that ensures code quality and consistency within Next.js projects. Comparing versions 12.2.0 and 12.1.6, subtle yet important differences emerge, primarily in the peerDependencies and the version of @next/eslint-plugin-next dependency itself. In version 12.2.0, the peerDependencies section lists eslint and typescript requiring versions "^7.23.0 || ^8.0.0" and ">=3.3.1" respectively. Version 12.1.6 has the same eslint and typescript requirements but in addition, it specifies next as a peerDependency, with a minimum version of ">=10.2.0." The newer version removes this peer dependency pointing to the fact that this direct dependency is no longer needed, meaning less constraints on the Next.js version required. Furthermore, the @next/eslint-plugin-next dependency is bumped from "12.1.6" to "12.2.0", aligning with the core package version and likely incorporating new or updated linting rules specific to Next.js 12.2.x features and best practices. Developers upgrading should be aware of these changes, as the updated plugin might introduce new linting errors or warnings in their existing codebase, prompting adjustments for optimal code style and adherence to the latest Next.js standards. The releaseDate also indicates the recency of each version, with 12.2.0 being the newer release. While file sizes and dependency specifications are largely consistent, these refinements ensure smoother integration and compatibility with evolving Next.js ecosystems.
