eslint-plugin-import version 0.7.9 represents a minor update following version 0.7.8, focusing primarily on internal improvements and potentially bug fixes. Both versions, designed to enhance JavaScript development workflows by providing static analysis of ES2015+ import syntax, share the same core dependencies, including espree for JavaScript parsing, resolve for module resolution, and babel-runtime for polyfilling. The developer tooling also remains consistent, with chai for assertions, babel for transpilation, mocha for testing, eslint for linting, istanbul for code coverage, and babel-eslint for enabling ESLint to process Babel-transformed code. The peer dependency on eslint remains at ">=0.16.0", ensuring compatibility with a range of ESLint versions.
A notable difference lies in the repository URL in the package metadata. While version 0.7.8 uses the git+https prefix, version 0.7.9 simplifies it to just https. While subtle, such a change might indicate adjustments in the tooling or scripts used for publishing the package. The key differentiating factor influencing developers is the release date. Version 0.7.9 was released on September 10, 2015, subsequent to version 0.7.8 released on August 12, 2015. Developers should consider reviewing the commit history between these dates for specific bug fixes or rule enhancements implemented. Generally, upgrading to the latest minor version is recommended to benefit from such improvements, ensuring a more robust and reliable linting experience for modern JavaScript projects using ES modules.
