React Router DOM, a cornerstone library for declarative routing in React web applications, saw a release of version 6.2.0 following version 6.1.1. Both versions share the same core functionality: providing a declarative approach to managing navigation within React apps. They also maintain consistent peer dependencies, requiring React and React DOM versions of 16.8 or higher, ensuring compatibility with modern React projects. Similarly, both versions depend on history version ^5.1.0, a dependency which manages the browser history.
The key difference lies in the underlying react-router dependency which is version 6.2.0 in the latest version and 6.1.1 in the previous one. Developers should investigate what new features or bug fixes were included in react-router 6.2.0 to understand the complete set of modifications introduced in the upgraded react-router-dom. Also, the unpacked size increased slightly from 165765 to 165792.
For developers considering an upgrade, it's important to review the changelog for react-router (the core routing logic) to understand the specific changes, bug fixes, and new features introduced between versions 6.1.1 and 6.2.0. This review will help determine if the update addresses any existing issues in their projects or unlocks new functionalities that can be leveraged. The release date highlights that the 6.2.0 was released about 1 week after 6.1.1, this suggest a quick fix and that upgrade is probably advisable. While the file count remains consistent at 18, the slightly increased unpacked size might indicate minor additions or modifications to the codebase.
