eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y version 6.6.1 is a minor update to the popular ESLint plugin that helps developers identify and fix accessibility issues in their JSX code. Released on July 21, 2022, it builds upon the previous stable version, 6.6.0, released on June 24, 2022, offering improvements and dependency updates. Key differences lie within the updated dependencies. Notably, axe-core, a crucial accessibility testing engine, is bumped from version 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 in the newer version. Furthermore, jsx-ast-utils, which aids in parsing and analyzing JSX code, sees an update from version 3.3.1 to 3.3.2. Several @babel/* dependencies, crucial for transpiling modern JavaScript, are also bumped to newer versions. For example, @babel/runtime is updated from 7.18.3 to 7.18.9, and @babel/core from 7.18.5 to 7.18.9. These Babel updates likely include bug fixes, performance enhancements, and support for newer JavaScript syntax. While not explicitly stated, these dependency updates often address underlying issues and improve overall stability and compatibility. Developers already using eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y should consider upgrading to version 6.6.1 to benefit from these improvements and ensure they're leveraging the latest accessibility checks and tooling. The relatively small size difference between the tarballs (674408 vs 667742 unpackedSize) suggests that the changes are targeted and do not involve major structural alterations.
