Http-server, the zero-configuration command-line HTTP server, saw a minor version bump from 0.2.9 to 0.3.0. While maintaining the core functionality of serving files over HTTP with ease, the 0.3.0 release introduces key improvements for developers focused on testing and contributing. A significant change is the addition of "vows" and "request" as development dependencies. Vows, a behavior-driven development framework, likely empowers developers to write robust and expressive tests, ensuring the stability and reliability of the http-server package. The "request" module, a simplified HTTP client, probably aids in testing HTTP endpoints and interactions.
For developers integrating http-server into their workflow, this update implies a move towards a more tested and resilient library. The core dependencies remain the same: eyes for detailed object inspection, colors for enhanced terminal output, and optimist for command-line argument parsing. The library still retains its MIT license, encouraging open-source contributions and modifications. The release date of 0.3.0 also clearly indicates a relatively early version. Before choosing a version, you should also check newer versions to ensure that your project adopts the version that best aligns with your software requirements. As it's an old version, consider newer and well tested updated ones.
