A full version history of the fs-jetpack package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
fs-jetpack has undergone significant evolution since its initial release in December 2013. The early versions, from 0.1.0 to 0.3.0, established the package as a "Jetpack for 'fs' library," relying on minimatch and q for dependencies. Version 0.4.0 marked a turning point, introducing mkdirp and rimraf while also adopting the MIT license. The description shifted to "Higher level API for 'fs' library," indicating a focus on improved usability.
Versions 0.6.0 and onward emphasized "Better file system API," showcasing ongoing development. Dependency management evolved, with minimatch updating to 2.0.1 and later 3.0.2. Development dependencies also saw frequent updates, reflecting changes in testing and linting tools. Notably, version 0.7.1 switched the repository URL to a git+https format.
Major version 1.0.0 arrived in May 2017, solidifying the API and refining development dependencies, with descriptions of a better file system API. Later versions, including 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x, showcased continued refinement and updates to development tooling, introducing TypeScript support for enhanced type safety. Version 5.0.0 marked another significant update, including minimatch and updating development dependencies. These updates demonstrate a continuous effort to modernize dependencies and contribute to long-term maintainability of the project through regular updates.
