Version 3.0.1 Details

The https-proxy-agent library, a crucial tool for Node.js developers working with HTTPS proxies, saw a minor version bump from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 in October 2019. While both versions offer the same core functionality – providing an http.Agent implementation for routing HTTPS traffic through HTTP(S) proxies – a closer look reveals subtle yet important differences for developers.

Both versions share the same dependencies: debug (version ^3.1.0) for debugging and agent-base (version ^4.3.0) providing the foundation. The development dependencies, used during testing and development rather than runtime, show a difference. Version 3.0.0 declares "proxy": "1" and version 3.0.1 declares "proxy": "1.0.1". While both valid semver specifications, the latter is more specific.

Developers upgrading should note the slight difference in unpacked size, with version 3.0.1 weighing in at 16947 bytes compared to 3.0.0 at 19603 bytes. This hints at potential optimizations or reduced code in the newer version. Given the proximity of the release dates (October 7th vs. October 23rd), the upgrade focuses on bug fixes, performance enhancements, or dependency updates rather than major API breaking alteration. For developers already using https-proxy-agent, upgrading to 3.0.1 is a worthwhile consideration to benefit from the latest improvements and ensure compatibility. For new adopters, version 3.0.1 offers a stable, well-maintained solution for navigating the complexities of HTTPS proxying in Node.js applications.
