Fs-extra is a popular Node.js package that extends the built-in fs module with useful file system operations like recursive directory creation, copying files, and removing directories. Versions 11.0.0 and 11.1.0 share the same core functionality, offering developers a convenient way to manage files and directories with ease. They both depend on jsonfile, graceful-fs, and universalify, ensuring compatibility and robustness. Development dependencies, including testing frameworks like mocha, code linters like standard, and utilities like klaw and proxyquire, remain consistent between the versions, indicating similar testing and development workflows.
The key difference lies in the bug fixes and internal improvements in version 11.1.0 over 11.0.0. While the core API and exposed methods are the same, users upgrading to 11.1.0 gain the benefit of any fixes and potential performance or size improvements. The unpackedSize in the dist object shows a smaller size increase in version 11.1.0 (59232 bytes vs 59204 bytes). The release dates also indicate a very short iteration cycle, only roughly a day between the releases, suggesting that version 11.1.0 was released to solve an urgent problem found in the previous version. For developers, upgrading to the latest minor version (11.1.0) is generally recommended to ensure they're using the most stable and up-to-date version of fs-extra.
