The limiter package, a generic rate limiting solution for web and Node.js applications, saw a version increment from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0, representing a minor update that offers improvements and refinements for developers. Both versions share the same core functionality, enabling developers to throttle tasks such as API calls and web crawling effectively. They also maintain identical development dependencies, suggesting a consistent development environment and testing suite across releases.
The primary difference lies in the updated dependency on just-performance. Version 2.1.0 utilizes just-performance v4.3.0, while v2.0.1 relies on v4.2.0. This likely indicates performance enhancements or bug fixes within the just-performance library that the limiter package now leverages. Users seeking optimal performance should favor version 2.1.0 to benefit from these improvements.
While the devDependencies remain the same, showcasing a commitment to code quality, the unpackedSize also shrinks slightly from 228171 bytes in v2.0.1 to 221324 bytes in v2.1.0.This suggests potential optimizations in the codebase or dependent libraries. Furthermore version 2.1.0 has been released on "2021-05-19T21:37:38.037Z" while version 2.0.1 was released on "2021-04-30T17:54:06.177Z". For developers already using the limiter package, upgrading to version 2.1.0 should be a seamless process. New users can confidently choose either version, but starting with 2.1.0 is recommended due to the updated dependency and slight optimizations.
