Version 7.9.0 Details

ESLint version 7.9.0, released on September 12, 2020, builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, version 7.8.1, which was released on September 1, 2020. Both versions serve as linters for JavaScript code, employing an AST-based pattern checker to maintain code quality and consistency. Developers relying on ESLint will find similar core functionalities in both versions, with several enhancements and bug fixes introduced in version 7.9.0.

A subtle distinction lies in the dist section, fileCount and unpackedSize. Version 7.9.0 has fileCount 401 and unpackedSize 3160693, while version 7.8.1 has fileCount 400 and unpackedSize 3156834. This indicates that version 7.9.0 has minor changes in the bundled files. Developers should consult the official ESLint changelog for a detailed breakdown of all updates but this could indicate minor bug fixes or new rule additions that are not readily apparent from this metadata itself.

For developers already using ESLint, upgrading from 7.8.1 to 7.9.0 will likely be a straightforward experience. The dependencies list remains identical, suggesting no breaking changes affecting commonly used plugins or configurations. While the specific nature of improvements requires diving into the release notes, the enhanced file count and unpacked size point to refinements and bug fixes which help improve the overall developer experience using the packages so the upgrade should benefit every developer who uses it.
