Napi-postinstall simplifies the complexities of managing native Node.js add-ons, especially when dealing with older npm versions. Versions 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 share the same core objective: aiding in the proper installation of native bindings within postinstall scripts, crucial for projects relying on compiled code. Both versions are MIT licensed, ensuring flexibility in usage, and are maintained by JounQin, with funding supported through Open Collective. Crucially they both target handling native bindings in legacy npm versions.
The primary difference lies in the updated dependencies and subtle size adjustments. Version 0.1.2 introduces an update to its tslib dependency, now requiring version "^2.8.1". While seemingly small, this dependency update can bring performance improvements, bug fixes, or new features from the tslib library which can affect the way the package works under the hood. This version also shows a slight increase in unpacked size (42146 bytes compared to 42087 bytes in 0.1.1), which could be a result of the added features provided by new versions of the tslib dependency. Version 0.1.2 was released on April 20, 2025, a day later than v0.1.1. For developers, these changes signify a commitment to keeping napi-postinstall current and reliable. Upgrading to version 0.1.2 is recommended to benefit from the latest improvements and ensure compatibility with modern toolchains.
