Version 1.2.0 Details

Md5-hex offers a straightforward solution for generating MD5 hashes with hex encoding in JavaScript environments, ideal for tasks like data integrity verification or creating unique identifiers. Comparing version 1.2.0 to the older stable version 1.1.0 reveals subtle yet potentially important distinctions for developers. Both versions share the same core functionality, description, dependencies (md5-o-matic), development dependencies (ava, xo), MIT license, and author. The key difference lies within the repository URL format within the package metadata. Version 1.1.0 used git+https://, while version 1.2.0 simplifies this to just https://. While seemingly minor, this change could affect how some tools interact with the repository, especially those sensitive to URL formats.

Furthermore, the releaseDate differs significantly, with version 1.2.0 being released on December 24, 2015, and version 1.1.0 on September 22, 2015, indicating a three-month gap between releases. While the provided data doesn't explicitly state the changes introduced in 1.2.0, developers should investigate the commit history on the GitHub repository (https://github.com/sindresorhus/md5-hex) between these dates to understand the specific bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features implemented. Always examine the changelog or release notes for detailed insights before upgrading, ensuring compatibility and avoiding unexpected issues. The change in URL, although small, should also be kept in mind when upgrading, in case you have custom tools that parse the JSON with the package data.
