Eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y provides static AST checking for accessibility rules on JSX elements, helping developers build more inclusive and accessible web applications. Comparing versions 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, the core functionality remains consistent, focusing on identifying and flagging potential accessibility issues directly within your JSX code. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies like aria-query, jsx-ast-utils, and axobject-query, which are crucial for understanding ARIA roles, HTML attributes, and accessibility object properties. The developer dependencies used for testing and building the plugin like eslint, jest, babel-cli and eslint-plugin-import are the same.
The most significant difference lies in the release date; version 6.1.2 was released on October 5, 2018, while 6.1.1 was released on July 13, 2018. The newer version includes some fixes and improvements, reflected in a slightly larger unpacked size (739274 bytes vs. 735770 bytes). While the change is not drastic, upgrading to 6.1.2 is recommended to benefit from latest improvements and bug fixes, which enhance the accuracy and reliability of accessibility checks. Developers integrating or updating this plugin should always review the changelog (available on the project's GitHub repository) to understand the specific changes and ensure compatibility with their existing project setup and ESLint configuration. The plugin supports ESLint versions 3, 4 and 5 enabling a wide range of users to integrate it in their projects.
