Prettier version 1.16.0 arrived on January 20, 2019, succeeding the previous stable version 1.15.3, released on November 30, 2018. Both versions maintain the core purpose of Prettier, acting as opinionated code formatters designed to enforce consistent styling across projects. The metadata remains consistent, including the MIT license, the GitHub repository URL, and James Long listed as the author. The key differences lie within the "dist" object, specifically the unpacked size of the package. Version 1.16.0 weighs in at 9,099,261 bytes unpacked, a slightly larger footprint compared to version 1.15.3's 9,032,711 bytes.
While the file count remains constant at 17, the increased size suggests internal improvements, bug fixes, or the introduction of new formatting capabilities. For developers choosing which version to use, the newer 1.16.0 generally offers the advantage of incorporating the latest refinements. Users upgrading should review the changelog for 1.16.0 to understand the specific changes and ensure compatibility with their existing codebases and configurations. Generally, sticking with the most recent stable version is recommended to benefit from the accrued bug fixes and feature enhancements that improve Prettier's code formatting prowess.
