Version 4.0.0 Details

Normalize-url, a popular npm package for sanitizing and standardizing URLs, saw a significant update with the release of version 4.0.0, following the previous stable release of version 3.3.0. Both versions share the core functionality of normalizing URLs, ensuring consistency and reliability when dealing with web addresses, a crucial aspect for web developers and applications that handle user input or external links.

However, a notable change lies in the development dependencies. Version 4.0.0 specifies more precise versions for its testing and linting tools, with "xo":"^0.23.0", "ava":"^0.25.0", "nyc":"^13.1.0". This contrasts with version 3.3.0's more relaxed dependency declarations, using "*" for xo and ava and "nyc":"^12.0.2", which indicates a shift towards greater control over the development environment and potentially more stable testing as the minor and patch versions of those dependencies are explicitly expressed. The newer version offers potentially more robust compatibility by explicitly listing its peer dependencies which may lead to fewer unexpected bugs.

Furthermore, version 4.0.0 shows a slight increase in unpacked size (10904 bytes) compared to version 3.3.0 (9889 bytes), which is an increase by 1015 bytes. This small increase may imply added features, enhanced normalization rules, or improved code optimization in the newer version. Developers should consider these factors when selecting a version, balancing stability, features, and project size. Both versions maintain the same MIT license and authorship.
