Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Standard.js version 16.0.4 offers refinements over its predecessor, version 16.0.3, primarily focusing on dependency updates to enhance code linting and style consistency. A key upgrade lies in the eslint dependency, moving from "~7.13.0" to "~7.18.0", bringing in newer linting rules and improvements. The newer version also benefits from updated plugin versions for React (eslint-plugin-react from "~7.21.5" to "~7.25.1"), Import (eslint-plugin-import from "~2.22.1" to "~2.24.2"), and Promise (eslint-plugin-promise from "~4.2.1" to "~5.1.0"). These upgrades translate to better React code analysis, improved import statement handling, and stricter adherence to promise best practices. The core eslint-config-standard also saw an update from "16.0.2" to "16.0.3," ensuring closer alignment with the Standard JavaScript Style.

Notably, version 16.0.4 removes babel-eslint from its devDependencies, suggesting a shift towards native ESLint parsing capabilities. While both versions maintain core dependencies and development tools like standard-engine, tape, hallmark, minimist, run-series, simple-get, cross-spawn and run-parallel-limit, the newer version implies refinement and a more modern approach. Developers upgrading to 16.0.4 can expect a more robust linting experience, especially when working with React, ES modules, and asynchronous code, leading to enhanced code quality and consistency.The releaseDate also highlights the temporal difference reflecting the updates in the newer version.
