Eslint-plugin-import versions 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 both aim to bring sanity to JavaScript imports, but a closer look reveals subtle yet potentially impactful differences for developers. Both versions share core dependencies like espree for parsing, resolve for module resolution, and object-assign for object manipulation, ensuring consistent core functionality. Development dependencies, including chai, mocha, eslint, istanbul, and eslint-tester, remain the same, suggesting no major shifts in the testing and linting infrastructure between these releases. Peer dependencies also remain consistent, requiring eslint versions ">=0.16.0 || ~1.0.0-rc-0".
The key difference lies in the introduction of babel-eslint "^3.1.23" as a dev dependency in version 0.7.2 but is not present in version 0.7.1, This may indicate that version 0.7.2 has improved support for ES6+ syntax, enabling better compatibility with projects utilizing Babel for transpilation. Developers using newer JavaScript features should carefully examine the specific changes related to babel-eslint to ensure smoother integration. The release date also indicates the newer version is from the following day with a difference of hours.
Developers considering upgrading should examine release notes on the project's repository, available on github, for specific details of any bug fixes or feature enhancements addressed in version 0.7.2 that may be relevant to their projects. The addition of babel-eslint suggests increased compatibility with modern JavaScript codebases.
