Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Eslint-config-prettier version 8.4.0 introduces subtle refinements over its predecessor, version 8.3.0, catering to developers seeking seamless integration between ESLint and Prettier. While both versions share the core objective of disabling ESLint rules that clash with Prettier's formatting, streamlining code style enforcement, the update brings notable, albeit minor, improvements.

A primary difference lies in the release date, with 8.4.0 arriving significantly later, in February 2022, compared to 8.3.0's release in April 2021. This temporal gap suggests potential updates to accommodate changes in either ESLint or Prettier themselves, ensuring continued compatibility. Although both versions maintain the same peer dependency on ESLint (>=7.0.0), indicating no fundamental shift in supported ESLint versions, the newer version offers an updated configuration.

Interestingly, there's a marginal difference in unpacked size; 8.4.0 is slightly smaller (18145 bytes) than 8.3.0 (18173 bytes). This minor size reduction could hint at code optimization or removal of redundant configurations, potentially offering slightly improved performance or reduced install size. From the data provided there is nothing specific that could indicate the exact fix, but the developers will continue to have a smooth integration between ESLint and Prettier. Developers should update to the latest version for the most compatible and streamlined experience.
