Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Module-deps, a crucial tool for Browserify users, steps through a project's dependency graph, creating JSON output perfectly suited for browser-pack. Version 6.2.2 brings a subtle but potentially important update compared to version 6.2.1. The primary difference lies in its dependency on the 'detective' package, which has been bumped from version 5.0.2 to 5.2.0. Detective is responsible for statically analyzing JavaScript code to find require statements and other module dependencies. This update likely incorporates improvements to detective's accuracy and support for newer JavaScript syntax features, which could be especially beneficial for projects utilizing modern language constructs like ES2020 features . While the other dependencies and development dependencies remain consistent (JSONStream, browser-resolve, concat-stream and others), this detective update is worth noting.

For developers, using module-deps ensures that all required modules in a project are correctly identified and bundled. Maintaining an up-to-date 'detective' package helps guarantee that module-deps can reliably handle complex dependency structures and correctly identify modules in your project, enhancing the accuracy of the bundling process. The increase in unpacked size, though minimal (87998 vs 87867), can be attributed likely to this updated dependency, along with potential minor code adjustments or documentation updates. If you've encountered any issues with module resolution of your project's dependencies or want to future-proof your bundling process, upgrading to 6.2.2 is the smarter choice so it will support newer JS construct, while using 6.2.1 should work well for older projects.
