fs-extra is a widely-used Node.js library that extends the built-in fs module with useful file system operations like recursive directory creation, file copying, and removal, simplifying common tasks within your projects. Comparing versions 11.1.1 and 11.2.0, both share the same core dependencies (jsonfile, graceful-fs, universalify) and development dependencies used for testing and linting (including nyc, klaw, mocha, standard etc.) indicating a consistent development process.
The key difference lies in the release date and potentially subtle internal improvements or bug fixes. Version 11.2.0 was released on November 28, 2023, while 11.1.1 was released much earlier on March 20, 2023. Although there are no listed additions to dependencies this potentially offers enhanced performance, or resolution of previously identified issues. Developers should examine the changelog between these versions for detailed information on specific changes.
Furthermore, the "unpackedSize" listed in the "dist" object differs slightly between versions. Version 11.2.0 has an unpackedSize of 54905, while version 11.1.1's unpackedSize is 59493. This might suggest a more streamlined and optimized codebase in the newer release. fs-extra remains a valuable tool for Node.js developers seeking to simplify file system operations, and upgrading to the latest version is usually advised to benefit from the most recent bug fixes, performance improvements, and code optimizations available.
