Rollup Plugin Node Externals, a tool designed to streamline Rollup configurations by automatically marking NodeJS built-in modules and npm dependencies as external, saw a minor update from version 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 in May 2023. Both versions share identical development dependencies, including tools like Ava for testing, ESLint for linting, and TypeScript for code compilation, ensuring a consistent development environment. Similarly, the peer dependency on Rollup remains at "^3.0.0", indicating compatibility with Rollup version 3 and above. The core functionality, description, author, license, and repository information also remain unchanged, suggesting the update does not introduce major feature changes or API modifications.
The primary difference lies in the release date and the unpacked size of the package. Version 6.0.1 was released on May 13, 2023, a few days after version 6.0.0 (released on May 8, 2023). The unpacked size of version 6.0.1 is slightly smaller (18316 bytes) than version 6.0.0 (18506 bytes), hinting at potential minor optimizations or bug fixes that reduced the overall package size. For developers, this suggests an incremental improvement, potentially addressing edge cases or enhancing performance without requiring significant code adjustments upon upgrading. If experiencing issues with version 6.0.0, upgrading to 6.0.1 is recommended.
