Version 1.4.0 Details

Natural-compare-lite is a lightweight npm package designed for comparing strings containing a mix of letters and numbers in a human-friendly, natural sort order. Version 1.4.0, released on October 26, 2015, builds upon the functionality of the previous stable version, 1.3.1, which was released on March 2, 2015.

Both versions share the same core purpose: providing a more intuitive string comparison than standard lexicographical sorting. This is particularly useful when dealing with filenames, version numbers, or any data where numerical components should be treated as numbers rather than individual characters. For example, "file10.txt" would come after "file2.txt" using natural compare, unlike standard sorting which would place "file10.txt" before "file2.txt".

From a developer's perspective, the key takeaway is that both versions offer this natural sorting capability with minimal dependencies, relying only on buildman and testman for development. The MIT license ensures freedom to use the library in a wide range of projects, and the GitHub repository provides a central location for accessing the source code and contributing to the project.

While specific bug fixes or new features introduced in version 1.4.0 aren't explicitly detailed in the provided data, the updated release date suggests potential improvements, optimizations or resolution of reported issues identified since version 1.3.1. Developers should consider exploring the diff between the two versions in the git repository to understand the precise changes made.
