Gherkin version 2.11.2 represents a minor upgrade from the previous stable version 2.11.1 of this essential package for parsing Gherkin syntax, commonly used in Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). Both versions offer a fast and efficient lexer/parser built upon the Ragel State Machine Compiler, ensuring robust and reliable parsing of feature files. The core functionality remains consistent, making it a solid choice for developers needing to interpret Gherkin language.
The primary difference lies in the updated development dependency: uglify-js. Version 2.11.2 utilizes uglify-js version 1.3.3, whereas 2.11.1 relies on version 1.2.5. This update suggests potential improvements in the minification process during development, possibly leading to slightly smaller or more optimized builds of the library itself. While the core API and parsing behavior are unlikely to be affected from a user perspective, it's a worthwhile internal enhancement. Developers are advised to upgrade to benefit from the updated uglify-js.
The release dates also reveal a time difference: 2.11.2 was released on August 17, 2012, while 2.11.1 came out on June 23, 2012. This indicates a period of approximately two months between releases, suggesting that 2.11.2 addresses potential bugs or incorporates minor enhancements identified since the previous version. For users seeking the most current and potentially optimized version reflecting recent adjustments, 2.11.2 is the recommended choice.
