Version 7.0.1 Details

Fs-extra is a popular Node.js package that extends the built-in fs module with extra file system utility functions, simplifying common tasks like creating directories recursively (mkdir -p), copying files recursively (cp -r), and removing directories recursively (rm -rf). Versions 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 offer the same core functionality, providing developers with a more convenient and powerful way to interact with the file system.

Comparing the two, version 7.0.1, released in November 2018, appears to be a patch release following 7.0.0, which was released in July 2018. Both share identical dependencies, including jsonfile, graceful-fs, and universalify, suggesting that the core functionalities and API remain consistent. Similarly, the devDependencies sections are the same, meaning both versions likely use the same testing and development tooling.

The key differences lie in the dist section. Version 7.0.1 has a noticeably smaller fileCount (33 vs. 60) and unpackedSize (124205 vs. 148793) compared to version 7.0.0. This indicates that 7.0.1 likely includes optimizations and/or removal of unnecessary files, potentially leading to a slightly smaller install size and faster execution. Developers should favor the newer 7.0.1 version due to these potential improvements and bug fixes.
