Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Path-exists-cli is a command-line tool designed to quickly determine if a specified path exists. Comparing version 1.0.0, released in May 2016, with the subsequent major release, version 2.0.0 from August 2021, reveals key upgrades valuable for developers. The core functionality remains the same: providing a simple way to check path existence from the command line. However, version 2.0.0 showcases substantial improvements in its dependencies and development environment.

Notably, the dependency meow, a popular CLI argument parser, jumps from version ^3.7.0 to ^10.1.1, reflecting a significant update in argument parsing capabilities and likely introducing new features and better command-line interface handling - increasing usability, stability and customization of the path-exists-cli binary. Similarly, path-exists, the library actually checking the path, moves from ^3.0.0 to ^5.0.0, indicating advancements in path validation logic and likely including performance improvements and enhanced cross-platform compatibility. Developer experience improvements are also visible. Development dependencies, such as testing framework ava and linter xo, see version bumps, suggesting a modernized development workflow, ensuring higher code quality and adherence to current best practices. Version 2.0.0 provides a smaller tarball and includes file count and unpacked size information, which isn't present in version 1.0.0's metadata, potentially enhancing download efficiency and offering insights into package size - useful for developers concerned about their project's "weight". Ultimately, upgrading to version 2.0.0 benefits from enhanced features, improved stability, updated dependencies, and a refined developer experience.
