Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Lint-staged, a popular tool for running linters on staged files in Git repositories, has released version 15.2.6, succeeding version 15.2.5. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, including yaml, chalk, debug, execa, listr2, pidtree, commander, lilconfig, micromatch, and string-argv. Similarly, their developer dependencies like jest, husky, eslint, prettier, and related tooling for commitlint and changesets remain consistent.

However, a key difference lies in the build artifacts. Version 15.2.6 has a slightly smaller unpacked size (119724 bytes) compared to version 15.2.5 (121254 bytes), suggesting minor optimizations or adjustments in the bundled code. The most significant difference is the release date: version 15.2.6 was published on June 11, 2024, while version 15.2.5 was released on May 25, 2024. This indicates that version 15.2.6 likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or small feature enhancements implemented since the previous release.

For developers already using lint-staged, upgrading to 15.2.6 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest improvements. While the core functionalities are unchanged, the refined build and more recent release date make it a more reliable choice. For new users, either version provides a solid foundation for integrating linting into their Git workflow, but starting with the latest version 15.2.6 ensures they have the most up-to-date and potentially refined version of the tool. The continued use of modern toolchains like husky and consistent dependency management highlight the project's commitment to code quality and developer experience.
