Marked versions 4.2.10 and 4.2.11 are both markdown parsers built for speed, boasting identical development dependencies including tools for linting (eslint), bundling (rollup), testing (jasmine, cheerio, commonmark), and semantic release. They share the same MIT license, originate from the same GitHub repository, and are authored by Christopher Jeffrey. Both versions include essential utilities like titleize, uglify-js, node-fetch, and markdown-it, along with Babel configurations and plugins.
The primary difference between the two versions lies not in functionality or dependency updates, but rather in their distribution metadata. Specifically, version 4.2.11 reports an unpacked size of 418018 bytes and a release date slightly later than 4.2.10 (January 14, 2023, at 06:28:53 vs. 06:18:17). In contrast, version 4.2.10 reports unpacked size of 418031 bytes.
For developers looking for a reliable and fast markdown parser, both versions offer virtually identical benefits. Because these releases are very close in time and have nearly identical code and dependencies, the main motivation for updating to 4.2.11 might be to ensure that you are running the absolute latest iteration. For most users the upgrades should be seamless.
