eslint-plugin-import version 2.25.2 introduces subtle yet impactful changes compared to version 2.25.1. A key update lies in the dependencies, specifically the upgrade of eslint-module-utils from version 2.6.2 to 2.7.0. This seemingly minor version bump likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or new utility functions that enhance the plugin's ability to resolve and analyze ES modules. While a patch update, this improvement can impact the plugin's overall stability and efficiency.
Developers using eslint-plugin-import will primarily benefit from the improved module resolution and analysis capabilities introduced with the updated dependency. This can translate to more accurate and reliable linting of import statements, reducing false positives and improving overall code quality. Further, as eslint-module-utils is an utility library, this brings also indirect updates of different parts of the package, improving aspects like the accuracy when the package checks whether imports are pointing to the correct files or not. While the core functionality of eslint-plugin-import remains consistent between the two versions, this update provides a smoother and more robust linting experience for projects using modern JavaScript module syntax. Upgrading is recommended, especially if you are already using eslint-plugin-import.
