Version 0.6.2 Details

fs-extra is a Node.js package that extends the built-in fs module with extra file system utility functions. Version 0.6.2 was released on June 28, 2013, shortly after version 0.6.1 which was released on May 14, 2013. Both versions boast the same core description: providing convenient methods not found in the standard fs module, such as recursive directory creation (mkdir -p), recursive file copying (cp -r), and recursive removal (rm -rf). These functionalities simplify common file system operations, saving developers time and effort.

The dependencies and devDependencies are identical between the two versions. Both rely on ncp for file copying, mkdirp for directory creation, rimraf for deletion, and jsonfile for easy JSON file handling. For development, mocha is used for testing, testutil provides testing utilities, and path-extra extends path manipulation capabilities. The core functionalities users depend on remain consistent.

The key difference lies in their release dates implying a potentially minor patch or bug fix in version 0.6.2. Developers should consider upgrading to the latest patch version (0.6.2) within the 0.6.x series to ensure they have the most stable and reliable experience. While no specific changes are outlined, staying current with patch releases is a general best practice for software development. For projects already using fs-extra, upgrading from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 should be seamless, given the identical dependency structure however it's always advisable to run tests after upgrading a package.
