Selfsigned is a valuable Node.js package designed for developers needing to generate self-signed certificates, private keys, and public keys directly within their applications. Versions 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 share a common foundation, both built with the same core dependencies: node-forge for cryptographic operations and @types/node-forge for TypeScript definitions, to give the package a robust and secure environment. The developer dependencies for testing, chai and mocha are also maintained in these versions ensuring quality for all releases. Both versions are MIT licensed, offer the same repository URL, and share author information.
The key distinction lies in the timing of their releases. Version 2.4.1 was published shortly after version 2.4.0 on October 26, 2023. While both versions share the same file count and unpacked size, suggesting that the core functionality and codebase remain consistent, the updated version 2.4.1 provides users the latest fixes and potential minor improvements. The close, subsequent release hints at a perhaps a bug fix or minor refinement, encouraging users to upgrade to the newest version for optimal stability. The packages provides a simple way to create self-signed certificates in an quick fashion, so it's a really attractive and simple solution for developers.
