Fast deep equal is a popular npm package designed for efficiently determining if two JavaScript values are deeply equal. Comparing versions 3.1.3 and 3.1.1 reveals key updates relevant to developers. Version 3.1.3, released in June 2020, includes newer development dependencies, indicating improvements in the development toolchain and testing environment. Specifically, eslint was updated from version 4.0.0 to 7.2.0, mocha from 3.4.2 to 7.2.0, nyc from 11.0.2 to 15.1.0, sinon from 7.5.0 to 9.0.2 and typescript from 2.6.1 to 3.9.5, suggesting enhanced linting rules, testing capabilities, code coverage analysis, mocking and type safety. React and react-test-renderer remain consistent at version 16.12.0 likely for backwards compatibility testing. The unpacked size has slightly increased from 12943 to 12966, possibly due to refinements in the core logic or added test cases. The later release date of version 3.1.3 means developers benefit from accumulated bug fixes, performance enhancements, and alignment with more recent JavaScript standards if there were any. If you are using any of the devDependencies it is adviced to keep this package updated. When choosing between these versions, developers should consider the importance of up-to-date development tooling and potential benefits within the newer version.
