Js-beautify version 1.14.1 represents a minor update focusing on dependency adjustments, released on March 28, 2022, following version 1.14.0 released on June 14, 2021. A key change is the addition of "npm":"^8.1.4" as a direct dependency in version 1.14.1, suggesting an enhanced integration or compatibility requirement with newer npm versions. This might be relevant for developers using more recent npm environments, potentially resolving compatibility quirks or unlocking new features related to the npm package manager.
While both versions share the core dependencies like 'glob', 'nopt', 'config-chain', and 'editorconfig', and developer dependencies such as 'mocha', 'serve', 'jquery', 'jshint', 'webpack', 'minimist', 'mustache', 'benchmark', 'requirejs', 'codemirror' and 'webpack-cli', the newer version includes dependency update for 'ansi-regex' and 'strip-ansi' which indicates potential bug fixes or updates related to ANSI escape code handling. The unpacked size has also slightly increased from 949993 to 951560, implying minor code additions, potentially addressing edge cases or making improvements to existing features. Also 'mocha' and 'serve' versions where enhanced.
For developers using js-beautify, upgrading to 1.14.1 is recommended, especially if they rely on newer npm versions or want to benefit from the latest dependency updates. While the core functionality remains consistent, the newest version ensures better compatibility, potential performance tweaks, and bug fixes, offering a more refined experience.
