Version 2.4.1 Details

Prettier version 2.4.1 represents a subtle refinement over its predecessor, version 2.4.0, both falling under the umbrella of Prettier's mission as an opinionated code formatter. Both versions share the same core functionality: automatically formatting code to adhere to a consistent style, supporting a wide range of languages and integrations with popular editors and build tools. They are both released under the MIT license, ensuring broad usability and contribution potential. The source code repository remains consistent between the versions, hosted on GitHub, indicating that the fundamental architecture and project structure are maintained.

However, subtle differences exist. While both have the same number of files (33) the unpacked size of version 2.4.1 is slightly smaller at 20627054 bytes compared to version 2.4.0's 20678289 bytes. This might indicate minor optimizations and dead code removal in version 2.4.1. More importantly, version 2.4.1 was released about a week later than version 2.4.0 (September 16, 2021, vs. September 9, 2021). This suggests version 2.4.1 likely includes bug fixes or very minor enhancements identified in the period following the release of 2.4.0. For developers, this means upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 is highly recommended as an incremental stability improvement over an already robust formatting tool. The core Prettier experience remains the same, ensuring a smooth upgrade path with the potential for edge-case corrections.
