React Hook Form has released version 7.43.4, a minor update following version 7.43.3. Both versions maintain the core purpose of providing a performant, flexible, and extensible form solution leveraging React Hooks. The essence of the library remains consistent: simplifying form management, validation, and submission in React applications.
Developers integrating React Hook Form will find familiar ground in both versions. The peer dependency on React remains unchanged, supporting versions 16.8.0 and above, including v17 and v18. This ensures broad compatibility for existing projects.
Delving into the differences, version 7.43.4 includes a slightly larger distribution size - a modest increase in both unpacked size from 819765 to 822962 and the zipped tarball including 4 extra files. One key change is the removal of "jest-watch-typeahead" from the devDependencies. While this package provides enhanced autocompletion for the Jest test runner, its removal seems to be the only change between the two versions.
The release date shifted from March 1st to March 3rd, indicating a short interval between the tagged stable versions. Developers already on 7.43.3 should evaluate the risk to upgrade based on whether they rely on "jest-watch-typeahead" locally for their testing. Other changes are invisible to the end user. Developers looking for a robust and well-maintained form library can confidently adopt either version, with a slight edge to 7.43.4 for those starting fresh, given its has the most recent files.
