Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

React-dom version 16.8.3 is a minor update to the React package focused on interacting with the Document Object Model (DOM). Released on February 21, 2019, it follows closely after version 16.8.2, published on February 14, 2019. Both versions maintain the same core description and MIT license, ensuring continued accessibility and open-source usage.

The key change between the two versions lies in an update to a dependency: the "scheduler" package. Version 16.8.3 utilizes scheduler "^0.13.3" while 16.8.2 relies on scheduler "^0.13.2". This indicates a relatively small adjustment within the scheduler package itself, likely containing bug fixes or minor performance enhancements. All other dependencies, including prop-types, loose-envify, and object-assign, remain consistent across both releases. The file count is at 46 for both versions but the "unpackedSize" changes from 4726725 bytes to 4728986 bytes.

For developers using React, this update suggests paying attention to potential changes, however small, within the scheduler. If experiencing issues or seeking improved performance related to scheduling mechanisms in React, upgrading to 16.8.3 might be beneficial. Otherwise, the changes are likely negligible for most general use cases. As with all updates, reviewing the changelog for the scheduler package itself is recommended for a detailed understanding of the specific modifications introduced in version 0.13.3. Both continue to depend on react version ^16.0.0 as peer dependency.
