Mixin-deep is a utility for deeply merging properties of objects into a target object, functioning similarly to merge-deep, but crucially avoiding cloning. This can be a significant performance advantage, especially when dealing with large or complex objects. Comparing versions 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, the core functionality remains the same, but the later version includes notable improvements.
While the declared dependencies and devDependencies are identical between the two, the unpackedSize in the dist object increased from 6982 bytes in 1.3.1 to 7218 bytes in 1.3.2. This suggests internal code modifications, potentially including bug fixes, performance enhancements, or expanded test coverage. Developers should check the changelog for a detailed list of changes.
Furthermore, the release date of version 1.3.2 is significantly later, in June 2019, compared to February 2018 for version 1.3.1. This indicates that version 1.3.2 benefits from over a year of potential bug reports, contributions, and refinements. Even without explicit feature additions, the newer version is generally preferred due to its higher likelihood of stability and reliability.
Therefore, developers integrating mixin-deep should opt for version 1.3.2 to leverage these under-the-hood improvements and more recent maintenance, assuming compatibility with their existing codebase. Always review the changelog to verify any breaking changes.
