Lint-staged version 4.2.3 is a minor update to the popular "lint files staged by git" tool, following closely after version 4.2.2. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, utilizing tools like chalk, execa, listr, lodash and cosmiconfig to effectively manage and execute linters on staged files within a Git repository. They aim to ensure code quality by automatically running linters before commits, preventing the introduction of style errors into the codebase. Key development dependencies like Jest for testing, ESLint for linting, and Prettier for code formatting are also consistent across both versions, ensuring a stable development environment.
The primary difference between version 4.2.3 and 4.2.2 appears to be the release date, with 4.2.3 being released on September 25, 2017, a few days after 4.2.2, which was released on September 22, 2017. Although no specific code changes are documented here, this small time gap suggests that version 4.2.3 likely incorporates bug fixes, dependency updates, or minor improvements implemented after the release of 4.2.2. For developers, migrating to version 4.2.3 is recommended to leverage these potential enhancements and ensure they are using the most current and refined iteration of lint-staged within the 4.2 series. Both versions provide a similar set of tools and configuration options, ensuring a smooth upgrade path.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 4.2.3 of the package
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in cross-spawn
