Version 0.4.0 Details

Fs-extra is a Node.js package that extends the built-in fs module with extra file system utility functions, providing convenient methods for common tasks like creating directories recursively (mkdir -p), copying files recursively (cp -r), and forcibly removing files and directories (rm -rf). Version 0.4.0, released in January 2013, builds upon the functionality offered in version 0.3.2, which was released in November 2012.

A notable difference lies in the dependencies. Version 0.4.0 updates rimraf from ~2.0.2 to ~2.1.2, potentially incorporating bug fixes and performance improvements in the removal of files and directories. The developer dependencies also reflect updates, with mocha moving to * (allowing any version) from 1.4.x and testutil advancing from ~0.2.4 to ~0.4.0, possibly introducing new testing capabilities or refinements.

For developers, fs-extra simplifies file system operations within Node.js applications, reducing boilerplate code and improving readability. The package's utility functions are valuable for tasks such as creating complex directory structures, ensuring files are copied correctly, and cleaning up temporary files during development. The consistent API and well-documented functions make fs-extra accessible to both novice and experienced Node.js developers.
