Version 4.0.2 Details

Tape is a popular and simple TAP-producing test harness invaluable for both Node.js and browser environments. Comparing versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.1 reveals a subtle yet practical upgrade. Both versions share the same core dependencies like "glob", "defined", "resumer", "through", "inherits", "deep-equal", and "object-inspect" as well as the same devDependencies like "tap", "falafel", and "concat-stream", ensuring consistent functionality for file system globbing, value definition, resumable streams, data transformation, inheritance, deep equality checks, and object inspection. The developer experience remains largely unchanged, with consistent utilities available in both versions.

The key difference lies in the release date. Version 4.0.2 was released on August 3, 2015, while version 4.0.1 was released on July 19, 2015. While the dependency list is exactly the same, the later release date of version 4.0.2 suggests potential bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor updates that weren't significant enough to warrant a change in dependencies. Therefore, developers starting new projects should strongly prefer version 4.0.2, as it likely represents the most refined and stable iteration at that point in time. Existing projects using version 4.0.1 might consider upgrading to 4.0.2 to benefit from these unseen improvements, although a thorough testing process is always recommended for any dependency update. Both versions are licensed under the MIT license and available on Github for transparency.
