Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

eslint-config-next is a vital tool for Next.js developers aiming to maintain code quality and consistency through ESLint. Comparing versions 12.3.3 and 12.3.4, the most apparent change lies in the update of the @next/eslint-plugin-next dependency, aligning it with the core Next.js version. Both configurations share identical peer dependencies for eslint and typescript, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of projects.

The core ESLint plugins like eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-import, and eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y remain consistent, promising familiar linting rules for React, ES modules, and accessibility best practices. Tooling dependencies such as @rushstack/eslint-patch and @typescript-eslint/parser are also unchanged, indicating no alterations to the underlying processes for handling ESLint patching and TypeScript parsing. Similarly, eslint-plugin-react-hooks, eslint-import-resolver-node, and eslint-import-resolver-typescript are held steady, suggesting a focus on stability with React Hooks linting and module resolution.

From a developer's perspective, upgrading from 12.3.3 to 12.3.4 primarily ensures that your ESLint configuration is tightly coupled with the linting rules and recommendations specific to Next.js version 12.3.4 through @next/eslint-plugin-next. The update likely addresses minor bug fixes, potential performance improvements, or new linting rules introduced in the corresponding Next.js release, contributing to a smoother and more reliable development experience. Both versions maintain the same unpacked size, suggesting that the changes are concentrated within the plugin update and do not add significant weight to the project.
