Gulp-concat, a popular plugin for concatenating files in Gulp workflows, saw a few notable changes between version 2.6.0 and 2.6.1. The later version, released in November 2016, represents an evolution over version 2.6.0, which was released in June 2015. One key update is the shift in core dependencies. Version 2.6.1 embraces newer versions of critical packages like vinyl (at ^2.0.0) and through2 (at ^2.0.0), reflecting updates in the broader Gulp ecosystem. This is in contrast to version 2.6.0 that depends on older version of through2 (at ^0.6.3) and gulp-util (at ^3.0.1), the last of which has been deprecated. This change suggests a focus on compatibility with more recent Gulp standards and potentially improved performance and bug fixes. Version 2.6.1 benefits from the updates and optimizations present in Vinyl v2.
Developer dependencies were also updated. Version 2.6.1 uses newer test framework mocha (at ^3.0.0) and assertion library should (at ^11.0.0). The gulp-sourcemaps also gets a version bump from ^1.1.4 to ^2.2.0.
The package's 'author' field also changed. Fractal created version 2.6.0, while Contra created version 2.6.1. Developers should generally prefer the latest stable version (2.6.1) due to its updated dependencies, potential performance improvements, and closer alignment with the current Gulp ecosystem. Always check for compatibility with your existing Gulp setup before upgrading.
