Fresh is a lightweight npm package designed for efficient HTTP response freshness testing. Version 0.5.0 introduces a minor update over its predecessor, version 0.4.0, with the primary difference lying in the development dependencies. Specifically, version 0.5.0 upgrades the eslint dependency from version 3.15.0 to 3.16.0, and eslint-plugin-promise from 3.4.0 to 3.4.2.
For developers already using Fresh, this update signifies a refinement in code linting and promise handling during development, potentially leading to more robust and maintainable code. While the core functionality of determining HTTP response freshness remains the same, the updated eslint and eslint-plugin-promise versions offer improved static analysis and promise-related rule enforcement during development.
The package, under the MIT license, remains consistent in its author and repository details. Both versions are authored by TJ Holowaychuk and are hosted on GitHub under the jshttp organization. Built for speed and accuracy, Fresh helps determine if a cached response is still valid, saving bandwidth and improving application performance. The update reflects a commitment to development best practices through its updated tooling. Upgrading is recommended for developers seeking the latest linting rules, benefiting from the static analysis that this new version brings.
