React Hook Form has released version 7.8.4, a minor update following version 7.8.3. Both versions maintain the same core description: a performant, flexible, and extensible forms library for React Hooks. The developer dependencies remain largely consistent, encompassing tools for testing (Jest, Cypress, react-test-renderer, @testing-library), linting (ESLint, Prettier), building (Rollup, TypeScript), and React Native support. Peer dependencies also remain constant, requiring React versions ^16.8.0 or ^17.
The key differences lie in the release date and the dist object. Version 7.8.4 was released on June 11, 2021, while 7.8.3 was released on June 9, 2021, indicating a rapid iteration cycle. While both have the same number of fileCount with 93 files on the tarball, there are subtle differences in the unpackedSize, going from 635120 (7.8.3) to 633836 (7.8.4) which suggest minor changes in the codebase, potentially bug fixes, performance improvements, or very small feature tweaks. Given the minor version bump, developers can expect backward compatibility. Users are advised to upgrade to version 7.8.4 for the latest improvements even though the change is subtle. React Hook Form continues to provide a robust solution for form handling in React applications.
