Semantic-release version 22.0.8 is a minor update to the popular package automating semantic versioning and package publishing. Released on November 17, 2023, it follows version 22.0.7, which was released on November 3, 2023. Both versions share the same core functionality: automating the release process, ensuring semver compliance, and streamlining package publishing. They share a similar set of dependencies, including crucial libraries like debug, execa, yargs, and @semantic-release/* plugins, all designed to work seamlessly together for automated releases.
The key difference lies in the devDependencies section. Version 22.0.8 upgrades prettier from version 3.0.3 to 3.1.0 and ls-engines from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1, while testdouble goes from 3.20.0 to 3.20.1. For developers, this means an updated code formatter with potentially new or refined formatting rules with prettier, enhancements or bug fixes in the engine compatibility checker ls-engines and some bug fixes and enhancements for testdouble. These changes are mostly intended as internal improvements and are unlikely to introduce breaking changes in the usage of semantic-release. The update provides general improvements for the development environment.
