Husky, a popular tool that enables native Git hooks for modern development workflows, has released version 9.1.6, building upon its prior stable version, 9.1.5. Both versions maintain the "Modern native Git hooks" description, MIT license, and the same author and repository details. The core functionality remains consistent, allowing developers to easily manage and automate tasks during the Git lifecycle, such as pre-commit checks, linting, and testing.
The notable distinction lies in the 'dist' metadata. Version 9.1.6 has a slightly larger unpacked size (4033 bytes) compared to version 9.1.5 (4030 bytes), suggesting minor code additions or adjustments potentially bugfixes and performance improvements behind the scenes in the newer version not explicitly noted. More importantly, version 9.1.6 was released on 2024-09-11, while version 9.1.5 was released on 2024-08-20. Which means that version 9.1.6 is the current version.
For developers, this points to an upgrade that likely addresses reported issues or enhances pre-existing features, even if not overtly advertised. Because minor versions generally contain bug fixes or small features, upgrading offers the benefit of using the most refined and potentially more stable version of the tool. As a best practice, regularly updating to the latest minor version ensures optimum performance, security and avoids accumulation of technical debt. While the differences are minor, the updated release date signals to developers that version 9.1.6 is the most current and likely preferable choice for use in projects.
