Version 2.1.6 Details

Express-ntlm is an Express middleware designed to simplify NTLM authentication for your web applications. Versions 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 offer similar core functionality, providing a straightforward way to integrate Windows authentication into your Express.js environment. Both versions share the same dependencies, relying on 'async' for asynchronous control flow and 'underscore' for utility functions, ensuring compatibility and consistent behavior. The development dependencies also remain the same, using 'express' version 4.10.4, meaning no breaking changes when updating the patch version.

The key difference lies in the release date. Version 2.1.6 was released in March 2017, while version 2.1.5 dates back to October 2016. This time gap suggests that version 2.1.6 likely includes bug fixes, minor improvements, or security patches implemented since the previous release. For developers, upgrading to the latest patch version (2.1.6) is generally recommended to benefit from these potential enhancements and ensure you're using the most stable and secure version. The core functionality concerning NTLM authentication remains consistent across both versions, making the upgrade a seamless process without requiring major code modifications. For new projects, starting directly with version 2.1.6 will provide the most up-to-date solution.
