Grunt-preprocess, a Grunt plugin for preprocessing HTML and JavaScript directives based on environment configuration, saw a significant update between versions 4.1.0 and 4.2.0. Released approximately six months apart, these versions showcase incremental improvements relevant to developers using Grunt for build automation.
The key difference lies within the dependencies. Version 4.2.0 upgraded its core dependency, preprocess, from ~2.1.0 to ~2.3.1. This update likely introduced new features, bug fixes, or performance enhancements within the preprocessing logic itself, affecting how directives are handled during the build process. Developers should consult the preprocess package changelog for detailed information about these internal changes. Furthermore, the developer dependencies received updates. grunt-contrib-clean, grunt-contrib-copy and grunt-contrib-jshint were updated to ~0.6.0, ~0.8.0 and ~0.11.0 respectively, suggesting improvements to the task configurations used for cleaning, copying and linting files during development.
While the peer dependency on grunt remains consistent at ~0.4.0, ensuring compatibility with existing Grunt projects, the updated developer dependencies emphasize a commitment to modern development practices. Developers upgrading from 4.1.0 should review their Grunt configurations to ensure compatibility with the newer versions of grunt-contrib-clean, grunt-contrib-copy and grunt-contrib-jshint. The release date of version 4.2.0 is June 18, 2015, providing a timestamp for developers considering integration into existing workflows. Overall, the update to version 4.2.0 brings dependency improvements.
