File-entry-cache is a lightweight npm package designed to efficiently cache file metadata, proving invaluable for processes that repeatedly operate on a set of files. It allows developers to focus processing efforts only on files that have changed since the last run, significantly improving performance in scenarios like build systems, linters, or static site generators.
Comparing versions 1.2.3 and 1.2.4, the core functionalities and dependencies remain consistent, leveraging flat-cache for caching and object-assign for object manipulation. Both versions boast a comprehensive suite of development dependencies, including testing frameworks like mocha, chai, and sinon for robust unit testing, and tools like eslinter and esbeautifier for code quality. The prepush and precommit hooks ensure code is linted and tested before being committed or pushed.
The primary difference lies in the release date. Version 1.2.4 was released on September 24, 2015, while version 1.2.3 was released on September 11, 2015. This indicates that version 1.2.4 likely contains bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor refinements implemented after the release of version 1.2.3. While the specifics of these changes aren't detailed in the provided metadata, upgrading to version 1.2.4 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest improvements and ensure compatibility. Developers already using file-entry-cache should consider upgrading, while new users can confidently integrate the library, knowing it's designed for simplicity and efficiency in tracking file changes.
