Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Run-parallel is a small, efficient utility designed to execute an array of functions concurrently, useful for speeding up tasks where order isn't crucial. Comparing versions 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 reveals minor but potentially impactful changes, primarily for developers involved in testing and maintaining projects using this package.

Version 1.1.7, released in February 2018, sees an update to its development dependencies. While the core functionality remains unchanged, the standard dependency is updated to the latest version. The earlier 1.1.6, released in March 2016, specified standard with version ^6.0.5. This indicates adherence to updated code style guidelines and testing practices for contributors; using the latest standard ensures the codebase follows current linting rules. The author field's URL also reflects a switch to HTTPS.

For developers utilizing run-parallel, the core API remains the same between these versions: a simple function call to execute asynchronous operations in parallel. The update to development dependencies isn't a breaking change, making upgrading straightforward. If you're contributing to or maintaining a project using run-parallel, upgrading to 1.1.7 is recommended to benefit from the most recent linting and code style checks offered by the standard package. This ensures code consistency and reduces potential integration issues. The small size increase going to v1.1.7, indicated by the 'unpackedSize' field, is negligible.
