Eslint-plugin-promise provides a suite of ESLint rules tailored to enforce best practices when working with JavaScript Promises. Version 4.0.1 introduces subtle refinements over the previous stable version, 4.0.0, offering developers a potentially more polished experience. While both versions share the same core functionality, description, development dependencies (including testing framework Jest, code formatting tools like Prettier, and various ESLint plugins for Jest, Node, and general ESLint plugin development), the key distinction lies in the internal improvements and bug fixes incorporated in 4.0.1.
Specifically, examining the dist object reveals a slight difference: unpackedSize is 37169 bytes in v4.0.1 vs 37282 bytes in v4.0.0, suggesting minor code optimizations or removals of unnecessary elements. Moreover, and perhaps more significantly, the releaseDate of version 4.0.1 is later: 2018-09-07 versus 2018-08-17 for version 4.0.0. This signifies that version 4.0.1 is a newer build, providing stability improvements and reliability in promise handling based on feedback and iterative enhancements made after the release of version 4.0.0. For developers, this translates into a potentially more reliable and up-to-date tool for linting promise-related code, guiding them towards cleaner, more maintainable, and less error-prone asynchronous JavaScript. Keeping dependencies updated can reduce surface for security vulnerabilites.
