Eslint-plugin-node provides supplemental linting rules specifically tailored for Node.js environments, enhancing code quality and consistency. Comparing versions 1.5.0 and 1.4.0 reveals subtle but important updates for developers. Both versions share identical core dependencies, including "ignore", "minimatch", "object-assign", "resolve", and "semver", ensuring consistent functionality for file ignoring, glob matching, object manipulation, module resolution, and version comparison. The development dependencies, crucial for testing and building, also remain the same, featuring tools like "coveralls", "eslint", "eslint-config-mysticatea", "istanbul", "mocha", "npm-run-all", "rimraf", and "shelljs". This suggests a focus on refining existing rules and functionalities rather than introducing entirely new features.
The peer dependency on "eslint" remains unchanged at "^1.10.3 || ^2.0.0", indicating compatibility with these ESLint versions. The key difference lies in the release date: version 1.5.0 was released on June 17, 2016, while version 1.4.0 was released on May 21, 2016. Although the changelog isn't directly available, the slightly later release date of 1.5.0 suggests bug fixes, minor enhancements, or compatibility adjustments based on feedback or updates in the ESLint ecosystem during that period. For developers, upgrading to 1.5.0 offers the benefit of incorporating these potential improvements, even if they are not explicitly documented as breaking changes or major feature additions within the description. Upgrading ensures they're using the most recent stable version within the 1.x series.
