Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

List-Stream is a lightweight and versatile Node.js package designed for efficiently handling data streams. It simplifies the common task of collecting data chunks or objects from a readable stream and then processing or writing them to a writable stream. This makes it ideal for scenarios where you need to buffer data before performing operations like aggregation, transformation, or sending it to a destination that requires a specific data format.

Comparing version 2.1.0 and its predecessor, 2.0.0, reveals subtle yet important distinctions. Both versions share core dependencies like readable-stream for stream manipulation, and development dependencies like faucet, standard, tape, and through2 that supports linting, testing and code quality. The key difference lies in the release dates and unpacked size within the dist object, suggesting that 2.1.0, released in December 2021, likely incorporates small bug fixes, performance optimizations, or minor internal changes. Specifically, version 2.1.0 has a unpacked size of 11967 bytes slightly more than the 11952 bytes for version 2.0.0 which was released in October 2019.

Developers using List-Stream can leverage its straightforward API to easily buffer and manipulate stream data. The MIT license promotes flexible usage in various projects. While the core functionalities remain consistent between the versions, staying up-to-date with the latest version ensures you benefit from any potential improvements and stability enhancements.
