Version 0.1.2 Details

fs-extra is a Node.js package that extends the built-in fs module with extra file system methods offering developers more powerful and convenient tools for file manipulation. Comparing versions 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 reveals a subtle but crucial update reflected primarily in the package metadata. Both versions share the same core description: providing file system functionalities absent in the standard Node.js fs library. They also depend on the same crucial modules: ncp for file copying, mkdirp for creating directories recursively, and rimraf for forcefully deleting files and directories - which shows that the core functionality of the module remains the same.

The key difference lies in the repository URL format in the package metadata of each version; 0.1.1 uses git:// while version 0.1.2 uses https://, and minor adjustments in the release date, with version 0.1.2 being released approximately a month later than 0.1.1. For developers, these changes suggest that version 0.1.2 might include minor bug fixes or improvements related to repository access or internal processes. The move to https for the repository URL is also indicative of improved security practices being adopted in the library. If security of data transport is important for you, version 0.1.2 is preferable. Developers already relying on fs-extra can look at upgrading to 0.1.2.
