Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

eslint-plugin-import version 2.10.0 brings subtle yet impactful enhancements compared to version 2.9.0. The core functionality of ensuring sanity in JavaScript and TypeScript imports remains, but developers will notice changes primarily in internal dependencies. Notably, eslint-module-utils, a crucial utility for resolving module paths, sees an update from version 2.1.1 to 2.2.0. This likely incorporates bug fixes and improved module resolution logic, potentially leading to more accurate import validation and fewer false positives in linting. The updated version includes 1 more file and the unpacked size of the package increased significantly, going from 426006 to 466973. Both versions maintain compatibility with ESLint versions 2.x through 4.x, as indicated by the peer dependency.

For developers using TypeScript, the devDependencies remain largely the same, with typescript-eslint-parser still at version 12.0.0 and eslint-plugin-typescript at 0.8.1, suggesting a stable TypeScript linting experience. The consistent usage of Babel and related plugins emphasizes a commitment to modern JavaScript standards.

While the core API and configuration options are expected to be similar, developers upgrading should thoroughly test their existing ESLint configurations to ensure a smooth transition, particularly if they rely on nuanced module resolution behavior. The updates to internal dependencies should improve overall accuracy, thus reducing the manual configuration needed to prevent unexpected linting failures.
