Version 0.18.1 Details

Fs-extra is a powerful Node.js library extending the standard fs module with crucial file system operations like recursive directory creation (mkdir -p), file copying (cp -r), and removal (rm -rf). Versions 0.18.0 and 0.18.1 offer these conveniences streamlining file manipulation tasks.

The key difference between version 0.18.0, released on March 31, 2015, and 0.18.1, released shortly after on April 15, 2015, is likely hotfix or maintenance. Looking at the quick release cycle it's very probable that the version 0.18.1 contains bug fixes or tiny enhancements. Both versions share the same core dependencies: rimraf for robust file deletion, jsonfile for simplified JSON file reading and writing, and graceful-fs for improved file system error handling. Development dependencies are identical, including tools like mocha for testing, istanbul for code coverage, and standard for enforcing code style.

For developers, fs-extra simplifies common file system tasks, reducing boilerplate code and improving reliability. The tarball URLs confirm the availability of both versions through the npm registry. When choosing between these minor versions, opting for the later 0.18.1 is generally advisable due to potential bug fixes, unless specific compatibility requirements dictate otherwise, but the differences are probably small.
