Lint-staged version 3.2.0 is a minor release of a tool designed to automatically lint files that are staged in Git, ensuring code quality before commits. Compared to the previous stable version, 3.1.1, the core functionality remains the same: leveraging dependencies such as execa, listr, which, and cosmiconfig to execute linters against staged files. The dependencies list is the same as in the previous version. Developers can use lint-staged to automatically format and validate code before each commit, improving collaboration and reducing the chance of introducing style errors in the codebase. The devDependencies also remained the same, including helpful tools for testing and development such as mocha, eslint, expect, npm-check, and several Babel-related packages. While the functional focus persists, the update addresses underlying improvements and potential bug fixes, thus offering increased stability. With a release date of October 18, 2016, it follows a day later than version 3.1.1. The key advantage for developers is the assurance of a polished and dependable workflow, where automated linting happens seamlessly, maintaining consistent code styling and catching common errors without manual effort. The update should be a straightforward upgrade for existing users, ensuring the development environment remains up-to-date with the best practices in linting and code quality.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 3.2.0 of the package
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in cross-spawn
