Version 8.1.0 Details

eslint version 8.1.0 and 8.0.1 are both AST-based JavaScript pattern checkers, crucial for maintaining code quality and consistency. While the core functionality remains the same, examining their differences reveals key updates for developers. Both versions share identical core dependencies. The difference between dependencies and devDependencies is that dependencies are required at runtime, while devDependencies are only needed during development.

One subtle change is in devDependencies. Version 8.1.0 appears to have updated the version of eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin from 3.5.3 to 4.0.1, suggesting enhancements or bug fixes within the plugin development ecosystem. These plugins assist developers in creating and maintaining their own ESLint rules. Looking at differences in minor versions of the same library is also important because they often include security patches or performance improvements.

The dist object provides metadata about the packaged versions. Version 8.1.0 has a fileCount of 396 and an unpackedSize of 2632684, slightly larger than version 8.0.1's 395 files and 2624454 unpacked size. This suggests some added files or potentially minor modifications within the codebase.

The release dates also highlight the recency of version 8.1.0 released on *2021-10-22*, compared to the v8.0.1 released on *2021-10-14*. Developers should always prefer the newest version of the same library to avoid security vulnerabilites and to get the latest features and performance improvements.
