Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

eslint-plugin-node, at versions 2.1.1 and 2.1.0, provides a suite of ESLint rules specifically designed for Node.js development. Both versions share the same core functionality, offering tools to enforce best practices and identify potential issues in Node.js code. Key dependencies like 'ignore' for file exclusion, 'minimatch' for pattern matching, 'object-assign' for object manipulation, 'resolve' for module resolution, and 'semver' for version comparison remain consistent, which ensures stability and reliability across the minor release.

The development dependencies, including tools for testing (mocha, nyc), linting (eslint, eslint-config-mysticatea), and build automation (npm-run-all, rimraf, shelljs) are also identical, meaning the toolchain used by the maintainers for development and testing hasn't changed. This suggests that the core development workflow and testing philosophy are consistent between the two versions. The peer dependency on 'eslint' (>=2.0.0) highlights the plugin's compatibility with a wide range of ESLint versions, crucial for developers using various ESLint configurations.

The only readily apparent difference between version 2.1.1 and 2.1.0 is the release date. Version 2.1.1 was released on September 26, 2016, shortly after version 2.1.0 which came out on September 25, 2016 This small time difference may indicate a bug fix. While it's impossible to determine the exact nature of the changes without examining the commit history or release notes, this quick follow-up likely involved addressing a minor issue or refinement. Developers using version 2.1.0 should consider upgrading to 2.1.1 to ensure they have the most up-to-date and potentially more stable version of the plugin.
