Eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y provides static analysis for JSX accessibility, helping developers build more inclusive and usable React applications. Version 2.0.0, released on July 12, 2016, builds upon the foundation of version 1.5.5, released just days before on July 6, 2016, while maintaining the same core functionality of linting JSX for accessibility issues, particularly concerning screen readers.
Both versions share identical dependencies, including jsx-ast-utils, object-assign, and damerau-levenshtein, ensuring consistent parsing and utility functions. Similarly, the development dependencies remain the same, with tools like mocha for testing, eslint for linting the plugin itself, and babel-* packages for transpilation. The peer dependency on eslint also stays consistent, allowing compatibility with ESLint versions 2.10.2 and 3.x.
The key change lies in potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor rule adjustments introduced in version 2.0.0. While the provided data doesn't explicitly detail these internal modifications, a version bump from 1.5.5 to 2.0.0 typically signifies more than just superficial changes. Developers should consider upgrading to version 2.0.0 for the latest fixes and potential enhancements to accessibility linting. It would be benefitial to check the changelog or release notes for a complete list of changes and migrate accordingly. Both versions are MIT licensed and maintained by Ethan Cohen, with the source code available on GitHub. Upgrading ensures you are using the most current and potentially most reliable version of the linter for accessible React development.
