Eslint-plugin-prettier version 5.2.1 introduces subtle but impactful changes compared to its predecessor, version 5.1.3. While both versions maintain the core functionality of running Prettier as an ESLint rule and share a similar suite of devDependencies aimed at code quality and consistent formatting, key differences lie in their dependency updates and release timing. The most significant change is the updated dependency of synckit from ^0.8.6 to ^0.9.1. This change could introduce performance enhancements or bug fixes related to synchronous operations used within the plugin.
For developers, this update offers minor improvements and potentially increased stability through the updated synckit package. Package 5.2.1 also has a much more recent release date, indicating potentially better support and community involvement due to more recent maintenance. Developers considering upgrading should examine the changelog for synckit to understand the specific changes implemented, ensuring compatibility with their existing projects. The peer dependencies remain consistent, requiring eslint and prettier versions greater than or equal to 8.0.0 and 3.0.0 respectively, ensuring a smooth transition for most users already adhering to modern tooling versions. Essentially, the update provides a gentle nudge toward enhanced internal workings, while keeping external API and configuration consistent. Both versions can be used safely, but 5.2.1 is likely the better choice for new projects.
