Timers-ext is a utility library that extends the standard JavaScript timers functionality. Comparing versions 0.1.2 and 0.1.3 reveals several key updates relevant for developers. Both versions share core dependencies like es5-ext for ECMAScript 5 extensions and next-tick for microtask scheduling, ensuring compatibility and efficient asynchronous operations.
The most notable changes are in the development dependencies and licensing. Version 0.1.3 introduces a modern linting setup utilizing eslint, eslint-config-medikoo-es5, and tad for code quality assurance. This signifies an upgrade in code style enforcement and automated testing, potentially leading to more robust and maintainable code. In contrast, version 0.1.2 used older tools like xlint and xlint-jslint-medikoo for linting. Furthermore, the license has been updated from MIT in version 0.1.2 to ISC in version 0.1.3. The ISC license is a permissive free software license, similar to the MIT license, so this change is unlikely to significantly impact most developers.
These changes suggest a focus on improved code quality, maintainability, and a slight adjustment in the licensing terms. Developers choosing between these versions might prefer 0.1.3 for its enhanced linting and potential for a more consistent codebase, though both versions provide the same core timer extensions.
