RxJS version 7.2.0 introduces subtle yet impactful refinements over its predecessor, version 7.1.0, enhancing the development experience for Reactive Extensions in JavaScript. While both versions share the core purpose of providing reactive programming capabilities, a closer look reveals key distinctions. Both versions depend on tslib version ~2.1.0 meaning that no changes were made here. Regarding development dependencies, both share a vast array of tools like typescript, eslint, webpack, mocha, among other, crucial for building, testing, and linting the library, but tslint-etc got upgraded from version 1.9.2 to 1.13.10 with potential bug fixes or improvements.
The dist object reveals an increase in the fileCount from 2259 to 2268 & unpackedSize from 4353333 to 4429574, indicating a potential slight growth in the library's footprint, potentially due to new features, bug fixes, or internal structural adjustments. Version 7.2.0 was released later on July 5th 2021, compared to version 7.1.0 released on May 21st 2021.
For developers, these changes, suggest a process of continuous refinement. Existing users of RxJS might find the upgrade worthwhile, particularly if they benefit from the bug fixes and minor enhancements. Developers starting new projects will likely find the newer version a more stable & optimal choice, benefiting from the latest improvements and a more polished development experience. As with any library upgrade, it is crucial to review the changelog of RxJS for details on API changes and potential breaking changes and test applications thoroughly after upgrading.
