React Hook Form has released a new version, 7.44.2, following closely on the heels of 7.44.1. Both versions are designed as performant, flexible, and extensible form libraries for React Hooks, aiming to simplify form management in React applications. Examining the metadata, the core functionality and developer experience remain largely consistent between the two. You can use both with React versions 16.8.0, 17, and 18.
A subtle change can be observed in the distribution package details. Version 7.44.1 had a fileCount of 300 and an unpackedSize of 854150, while version 7.44.2 has a fileCount of 299 and an unpackedSize of 853744. This suggests a minor reduction in the package size, potentially due to optimizations or removal of unnecessary files, streamlining installation, and potentially improving performance. The newer version was released shortly after the previous one, signaling either a bug fix or a minor adjustment.
For developers currently using React Hook Form, upgrading from 7.44.1 to 7.44.2 should be straightforward, especially considering the shared peer dependencies and development environment. New users can benefit from a mature and actively updated library. The difference in the distro size is a good reason to upgrade to the latest version. It is advisable to check the changelog if available, to confirm that it fixes an issue you are experiencing or an incompatibility that blocks your development.
