Nth-check version 2.0.1 is a minor patch release offering improvements and updates over the previous stable version 2.0.0. Both versions serve the same core purpose: parsing and compiling CSS nth-checks into highly optimized JavaScript functions, crucial for efficiently selecting elements based on their position in the DOM. This functionality is generally used in web scraping, automated testing, and frameworks that need efficient CSS selector engines.
Key improvements in v2.0.1 are primarily focused on development dependencies, signaling enhancements in testing, code quality, and build processes. The newer version upgrades several dev dependencies, including @types/jest, @types/node, @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin, @typescript-eslint/parser, eslint, eslint-config-prettier, jest, prettier, ts-jest, and typescript, bringing them to more recent releases. Dependency updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features within the development workflow. A newer TypeScript version could allow usage of its new features for example. The direct dependencies are unchanged.
While the externally facing API likely remains consistent between the two versions, developers are encouraged to upgrade to v2.0.1 to benefit from the improved tooling and potential underlying performance or stability enhancements achieved through the updated development dependencies. The upgrade potentially ensures better compatibility with modern JavaScript environments and build systems. The unpacked size has increased slightly, which could suggest small changes to the codebase or included data. The increased "fileCount" doesn't necessarily indicate major changes.
