A full version history of the intercept-stdout package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
intercept-stdout is a Node.js package designed to hook and intercept standard output (stdout), offering developers a way to capture and manipulate console logs within their applications. The package has been actively maintained, with several versions released to improve functionality and address dependencies.
The initial versions, 0.0.1 and 0.0.2, were released on the same day in January 2014, indicating a quick iteration process early on. These versions relied on underscore and testing frameworks like chai and mocha. The dependency on underscore suggests a functional programming approach in the earlier implementations.
Version 0.0.3, released in February 2015, marked a shift in dependencies, replacing underscore with lodash.toarray, a smaller and more focused Lodash module, potentially improving the package's footprint. This version also clarified chai and mocha as development dependencies (devDependencies), indicating their use is primarily for testing during development and not required for the package to function in production.
Subsequent releases, 0.1.1 and 0.1.2, in May and July 2015 respectively, continued to refine the package, maintaining the dependency structure introduced in 0.0.3. The consistent use of lodash.toarray suggests this proved to be a stable dependency. Overall, the version history suggests a focus on dependency management and optimization while providing a reliable solution for intercepting stdout in Node.js applications.
