Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Eslint-plugin-react, a crucial tool for React developers utilizing ESLint, saw a notable update between versions 2.4.0 and 2.5.0. Both versions maintain the core functionality of providing React-specific linting rules, ensuring code quality and adherence to best practices. The key difference lies in the updated development dependencies. Version 2.5.0 upgrades the core ESLint engine from version 0.21.2 to 0.22.1, potentially offering developers access to newer linting features and bug fixes inherent in that ESLint update. Another change is in the eslint-tester dev dependency, where version 2.4.0 points to a specific commit on the eslint/eslint-tester GitHub repository, version 2.5.0 uses version 0.7.0 from npm registry. Peer dependencies remain consistent, requiring ESLint version 0.8.0 or higher, ensuring compatibility with a range of ESLint installations. Developers upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 should be aware of the potential changes in ESLint's core linting behavior as a result of the engine update. Aside from dependency updates, the package descriptions, licensing (MIT), repository details, author information, and istanbul and coveralls versions remain unchanged. The release date also marks a recent shift, with version 2.5.0 arriving shortly after version 2.4.0. Developers should test their configurations after upgrading to confirm continued compatibility with their existing ESLint setup.
