Inquirer.js is a popular npm package providing interactive command-line user interfaces. Version 0.12.0, released on February 9, 2016, offers some key improvements over version 0.11.4, which was released on January 26, 2016.
One significant difference lies in the dependencies. Version 0.12.0 updates the lodash dependency from version 3.3.1 to version 4.3.0 and cli-width from version 1.0.1 to version 2.0.0.. This upgrade to lodash could bring performance improvements and potentially new utility functions for developers to leverage within Inquirer.js and their CLI applications. The upgrade of cli-width will improve the detection of the terminal size for a better rendering of the questions.
Both versions share the same core set of development dependencies, including tools like Chai, Grunt, Mocha, and Sinon for testing and build processes. This indicates that the development workflow and testing methodologies remained consistent between the two versions. The license remains MIT, suitable for most projects.
For developers using Inquirer.js, the upgrade from 0.11.4 to 0.12.0 seems very small and is only relevant for those that depend upon the bug fixes or additional features of the lodash and cli-width packages. No code deprecation is expected between those versions.
