Node-fetch is a lightweight module that brings the window.fetch API familiar to front-end developers to Node.js environments, facilitating making HTTP requests in a consistent manner. Comparing versions 2.6.7 and 2.6.6, the core functionality and dependencies remain largely the same. Both versions rely on whatwg-url for URL parsing and share an identical suite of development dependencies used for testing, building, and code coverage, including tools like Mocha, Chai, Babel, and Rollup. They also both share the same MIT License and author.
The key difference lies in the release date and unpacked size. Version 2.6.7 was released on January 16, 2022, while version 2.6.6 was released on October 31, 2021. Additionally, version 2.6.7 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 152240 bytes compared to 2.6.6's 149298 bytes. This could be indicative of bug fixes or minor improvements, although the specific changes aren't detailed in this metadata. Developers should typically opt for the latest stable version (2.6.7 in this case) to ensure they are benefiting from the most recent fixes and optimizations. While the dependency list appears identical, ensure compatibility with your project's dependencies, particularly the peer dependency of "encoding", before upgrading. Consider reviewing the project's changelog or release notes for more details on the specific changes introduced in version 2.6.7.
