Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Html-to-text version 8.2.1 is a minor update to the popular Node.js library that converts HTML content into plain text, ideal for scenarios like email processing, text-based displays, or extracting readable content from web pages. Comparing it to the previous stable version, 8.2.0, the core functionality, described as an "advanced html to plain text converter," remains consistent, ensuring a smooth transition for existing users. The dependencies, including crucial packages such as "@selderee/plugin-htmlparser2," "deepmerge," "he," "htmlparser2," "minimist," and "selderee," are also unchanged, indicating no fundamental shifts in how the library parses and handles HTML.

The notable differences lie in the development dependencies. Version 8.2.1 upgrades "c8" from 7.10.0 to 7.12.0 and "chai" from 4.3.4 to 4.3.6. Furthermore, "eslint-plugin-import" sees an update from 2.24.2 to 2.26.0. These updates primarily benefit developers contributing to the html-to-text library itself, suggesting improvements in code coverage reporting (c8), assertion testing (chai), and import/export rule enforcement (eslint-plugin-import). While these changes are important for maintainability and future development, they introduce no breaking changes or new features directly impacting end-users who simply utilize the library for its core HTML-to-text conversion capabilities. The file size increases slightly (from 197994 to 198211 unpacked, and as indicated by the tarball), which can be attributed to the updated dev dependencies. Developers using html-to-text can upgrade to 8.2.1 with confidence, expecting the same reliable performance with potentially subtly improved internal code quality and development workflows.
