Timers-ext is a utility library extending the standard JavaScript timers functionality. Version 0.1.6, released on October 4, 2018, introduces updates to its development dependencies, notably upgrading eslint from version 4.18.1 to version 5.6.1 and eslint-config-medikoo-es5 from version 1.4.7 to version 1.7.2. In addition version 0.1.6 includes bump on library dependencies, specifically es5-ext which saw an update from version ~0.10.14 to ~0.10.46. This upgrade likely incorporates bug fixes, performance enhancements, and potentially new features from these underlying dependencies. The core functionality focusing on extending functionalities of the built-in **javascript timers** remains consistent between the versions.
Developers considering adopting timers-ext should note the enhancements in tooling and dependency updates of the newer 0.1.6 version, as this leads to potential integration benefits and future-proofing of their codebase against compatibility issues within the javascript ecosystem. The library, authored by Mariusz Nowak and licensed under ISC, is available on GitHub and installable via npm.
While unpacked size grew slightly from 13886 to 14223, and the release size from 0.1.5 to 0.1.6, the library still can be considered lightweight addition for javascript projects.
