Rollup Plugin Node Globals offers a convenient way to inject Node.js globals into your Rollup bundles, mimicking the behavior of Browserify and enabling you to use modules designed for Node.js environments directly in the browser. Version 1.4.0, released on September 11, 2018, builds upon the foundation of version 1.3.0 (released September 4, 2018) with some notable updates. The primary change lies in the updated dependencies. Version 1.4.0 updates "acorn" from "^5.5.0" to "^5.7.3", "estree-walker" from "^0.5.1" to "^0.5.2" and "magic-string" from "^0.22.4" to "^0.22.5". Also it updates "rollup-pluginutils" from "^2.0.1" to "^2.3.1". These updates likely include bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features within those underlying libraries. For developers, upgrading to version 1.4.0 ensures you benefit from these enhancements and maintain compatibility with the latest versions of these core packages.
While the core functionality remains consistent, staying current with dependency updates is a crucial aspect of modern JavaScript development. This minimizes potential vulnerabilities and optimizes the plugin's overall performance. Both versions maintain the same set of devDependencies, license, repository, author, unpackedSize(29599) and fileCount(9). Also, both versions maintains compatibility with babel, browserify, jest, mocha and rollup. The tarball url is also distinct for each version.
