Swig, a fast and powerful Django-like templating engine for Node.js and browsers, saw a release of version 0.10.0 on February 14, 2012, building upon the foundation laid by its previous stable version, 0.9.4, released just days earlier on February 8, 2012. While both versions share the same core description and maintain consistent dependencies like Underscore.js (>=1.1.7) and development dependencies, subtle improvements and bug fixes likely differentiate the two. Developers already familiar with Swig 0.9.4 would find upgrading to 0.10.0 relatively seamless due to the identical dependency structure.
However, the six-day gap between releases hints at potential enhancements, optimizations, or critical bug fixes addressed in the newer version. It would be beneficial to consult the changelog or release notes (not provided here) to pinpoint the exact changes. The consistency in development dependencies like Express (>=2.5.0), Nodelint (>=0.5.2), Nodeunit (>=0.6.4), and Uglify-js (>=1.1.0) suggests a similar development environment was maintained, indicating that any code written for version 0.9.4 would likely function correctly with 0.10.0. Therefore, developers should prioritize version 0.10.0 for its potential bug fixes and improvements, but verify the changelog for compatibility considerations.
