React Hook Form is a popular library for building performant and user-friendly forms in React applications. Version 6.5.0, released August 22, 2020, builds upon the previous stable version, 6.4.1 (released August 18, 2020) with a few key updates. While both versions share the same core functionality for creating flexible and extensible forms, the 6.5.0 release includes some dependency upgrades and refinements that affect the development environment.
Notably, version 6.5.0 upgrades several development dependencies, including "jest" (testing framework) from 26.1.0 to 26.4.1, "typescript" from 3.9.6 to 4.0.2, and "cypress" (end-to-end testing) from 4.10.0 to 5.0.0. These upgrades bring improvements in testing capabilities and TypeScript support, enabling developers to write more reliable and type-safe form logic. Developers may also experience slight impact in performance improvements when running tests on these updated versions.
These changes, although seemingly incremental, enhance the overall development experience and contribute to a more stable and robust form-building process. The updated dependencies provide developers building react applications with access to the latest features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements available in those specific testing and type-checking tools. While the core API of React Hook Form remains consistent between these versions, developers should be aware of the updated development dependencies when upgrading to version 6.5.0 to ensure compatibility within their existing projects. The size of the packages is slightly different, with 6.5.0 at 1542355 unpackedSize and 6.4.1 at 1545876 unpackedSize.
