Shelljs-plugin-open provides a convenient way to open files using their default applications directly from shelljs scripts. Version 0.4.0 and version 0.3.0, the previous stable release, share the same core functionality and purpose while showcasing key updates in dependencies and peer dependencies. Developers leveraging shelljs for automating tasks will find this plugin invaluable for actions like opening configuration files, documents, or any other file type associated with a default application on the system.
A notable difference lies in the supported shelljs versions. Version 0.4.0 bumps the peer dependency to shelljs "^0.10.0", whereas version 0.3.0 supports "^0.9.1". This highlights an upgrade in compatibility, enabling users to utilise this plugin within newer shelljs environments. The development dependency updates include "eslint": "^4.19.1", "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "^13.1.0", "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.17.3", demonstrating a commitment to code quality and modern JavaScript linting practices. While both versions maintain the core "opener": "^1.4.1" dependency, the upgraded development dependencies in v0.4.0 signify a more refined development workflow, potentially leading to more robust and maintainable code. The newer version also introduces "shelljs-release": "^0.5.1" as a dev dependency. The "releaseDate" difference of approximately two months suggests an active development cycle. The distribution sizes are slightly different which might indicate some updates in the packaged files.
