Prettier version 1.16.2 arrived on January 30, 2019, succeeding version 1.16.1, released just a week prior on January 22, 2019. Both versions maintain the core function of Prettier as an opinionated code formatter. The package description, license (MIT), repository details, and author (James Long) remain consistent between the two releases. A notable difference lies in the unpacked size of the distributed package, with version 1.16.2 being slightly larger at 9,112,378 bytes compared to 1.16.1's 9,106,401 bytes.
While the difference in size suggests internal code or dependency updates, the core functionality remains the same. Developers using Prettier will likely experience the same code formatting capabilities in both versions. The update likely aims to address minor bugs, performance enhancements, or compatibility improvements with specific JavaScript or other language syntax. For developers already using Prettier 1.16.1, the incremental update to 1.16.2 should be seamless. New users can expect a consistent experience using either version, ensuring code adheres to Prettier's standards and promoting code readability and maintainability.
