UglifyJS version 3.14.4 is a minor update to the popular JavaScript parser, mangler, compressor and beautifier toolkit, building upon the foundation laid by version 3.14.3. Both versions are licensed under the BSD-2-Clause license, ensuring broad compatibility and use. The core functionality related to parsing, mangling, and code beautification remains consistent, offering developers the same powerful tools for optimizing their JavaScript code. Key development dependencies, such as acorn (version ~8.2.1), a fast and lightweight JavaScript parser, and semver (version ~6.3.0) for semantic versioning, are also shared, indicating a focus on maintaining parser compatibility and version management.
The primary difference lies in the package's unpacked size and release date. Version 3.14.4, released on November 30, 2021, has an unpacked size of 1185973 bytes, slightly larger than version 3.14.3's 1179414 bytes, which was released on November 1st, 2021. This small increase in size likely reflects bug fixes, minor feature enhancements, or internal optimizations incorporated in the newer release. Developers should consider upgrading to version 3.14.4 to benefit from these improvements and potential stability enhancements. Given the shared dependencies and similar feature set, the upgrade process should be straightforward for existing UglifyJS users. The toolkit remains a valuable asset for optimizing web application performance through minified and efficient code.
