Moment.js saw a minor version bump from 2.14.0 to 2.14.1 on July 4th, 2016. Both versions share the same core functionality: parsing, validating, manipulating, and displaying dates and times in JavaScript. Developers rely on Moment.js for its robust features and ease of use in handling date-related tasks.
Examining the metadata for both releases, the primary difference lies in the release date and potentially bug fixes or minor improvements implemented between the two versions. Version 2.14.1 was released approximately 90 minutes after 2.14.0 suggesting a quick follow up probably related to a hotfix. The listed dependencies for development remain identical, indicating no changes occurred in the tooling or build process.
For developers considering an upgrade, version 2.14.1 offers the assurance of incorporating any immediate fixes identified after the 2.14.0 release. If you are using Moment.js you should probably upgrade to the latest version.
Both Versions were released under the MIT license.
