Greedy Interval Packer is a lightweight npm package designed to efficiently pack integer intervals using a greedy algorithm. Both version 1.1.1 and the subsequent 1.1.2 offer the same core functionality: optimizing the placement of integer intervals to minimize the number of required "containers" or "bins." This is particularly useful in scenarios such as resource allocation, scheduling, or bin packing problems where minimizing waste or fragmentation is crucial.
Key features of the library, consistent across both versions, include a straightforward API for defining intervals and retrieving the packed results. Developers simply provide an array of intervals, and the library returns an optimized arrangement. The developer dependencies, remain constant between the two versions, indicating a consistent development and testing environment. These dependencies include tools for bundling (browserify, bundle-collapser), code quality (jscs, jshint), testing (mocha, unexpected), and code coverage (istanbul), ensuring the library's reliability.
The crucial difference between version 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 lies in a bug fix or minor update. While the exact nature of the change isn't explicitly stated in the metadata, the short release time difference (approximately one hour) suggests a quick resolution to a identified issue. Consequently, upgrading from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 is recommended for users seeking the most stable and reliable experience. The package is MIT licensed, encouraging broad usage. The package is actively developed and maintained by "Sune Simonsen."
