Qs is a popular npm package designed for parsing and stringifying URL query strings with support for nested objects and arrays, offering control over depth limits. Comparing version 6.12.0 and 6.11.2 reveals a few key updates relevant to developers.
One notable change lies in the dependencies. Version 6.12.0 upgrades 'side-channel' from '^1.0.4' to '^1.0.6', potentially including bug fixes or performance improvements in managing side channels. Several development dependencies also receive updates, such as 'glob' being pinned to '=10.3.7' and '@ljharb/eslint-config' updated from '^21.0.1' to '^21.1.0'. These changes likely indicate improvements in the development and testing environment of the package, potentially resulting in more robust and reliable code with enhanced linting. Additionally, newer versions of development dependencies such as jackspeak, common-shakeify, bundle-collapser, es-value-fixtures, @browserify/envify, @browserify/uglifyify were added. The 'object-inspect' dependency is also updated, which suggests improvements in how objects are inspected or serialized.
Developers should also note the increased unpacked size of 6.12.0 (245120 bytes) compared to 6.11.2 (241132 bytes), which could indicate added features, improved code structure or simply updated dependencies adding size. Finally, qs version 6.12.0 was released on March 6th, 2024, almost a year after the release of version 6.11.2 on May 15th, 2023, so it includes a year worth of improvements or updates. This suggests a commitment to maintainance and improvement of the package over time. These combined changes should allow developers to expect improvements in efficiency, security, and reliability.
