Timers-ext is a lightweight npm package providing extensions to the standard JavaScript timers functionality. Versions 0.1.6 and 0.1.7, released on the same day, October 4th, 2018, share identical dependencies (es5-ext and next-tick) and development dependencies (eslint, eslint-config-medikoo-es5, and tad), suggesting a focus on code quality via linting and testing. Both versions are licensed under ISC and maintained by Mariusz Nowak of Medikoo. The core functionality remains consistent as indicated by identical repository details.
The primary difference lies in the dist object. Version 0.1.7 has a slightly larger unpackedSize of 14421 bytes compared to version 0.1.6's 14223 bytes. While the fileCount remains constant at 23, this size difference suggests minor code improvements, bug fixes, or documentation updates. Developers upgrading from 0.1.6 should expect a negligible size increase in their project. Given the minimal change and simultaneous release, the update likely addresses a minor issue caught shortly after the initial release. The package provides functionalities around dealing with timers in javascript so it might provides useful utilities around setTimeout and setInterval. Developers should consult the project's GitHub repository for detailed changelogs to understand the specific improvements implemented in version 0.1.7.
