Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Lint-staged 12.0.1 is a minor patch release following version 12.0.0 of this popular tool for running linters on files staged in Git, ensuring code quality before commits. Both versions share the same core functionality, dependencies, and developer tooling, offering a seamless experience for integrating linting into your workflow. Essential dependencies like debug, execa, listr2, colorette, commander, and micromatch remain consistent, ensuring stability and predictable behavior. Development dependencies for testing and linting such as jest, eslint, prettier, and related Babel plugins are also identical, indicating a focus on maintaining code quality across releases.

While the core features and dependencies are the same, the key difference lies in the bug fixes and minor improvements delivered with the patch version, 12.0.1. Developers upgrading from 12.0.0 will benefit from these incremental enhancements, leading to a potentially smoother and more reliable linting process. These types of patch releases often address edge cases or specific issues reported by the community, improving overall usability. The unpacked size of v12.0.1 has slightly increased, which may indicate new files being added or modifications to existing code to address existing bugs or to improve performance. The release date for 12.0.1 is a few hours later than 12.0.0 which confirms this is a patch version released just after the previous one to address issues.
