UglifyJS version 3.15.0 presents a notable update over its predecessor, version 3.14.5, in the realm of JavaScript minification, compression, and beautification. Both versions maintain the core functionalities of parsing, mangling, and compressing JavaScript code, along with code beautification capabilities. They also share the same dependencies: acorn for parsing (version ~8.2.1) and semver for semantic versioning (~6.3.0), ensuring consistent compatibility with JavaScript standards and dependency management. The license remains under the permissive BSD-2-Clause, and the repository details stay consistent, pointing to the GitHub repository managed by Mihai Bazon.
However, the key difference lies in the upgraded package itself. Version 3.15.0 sees an increase in the unpacked size, reaching 1228924 bytes, compared to 3.14.5's 1188776 bytes, an increase of almost 40KB .This size difference suggests improvements, bug fixes, or new features integrated into the newer version. The release date of 3.15.0 is January 25, 2022, indicating a more recent iteration with potentially updated support for modern JavaScript syntax and optimizations. Developers should consider upgrading to 3.15.0 for potential performance improvements, bug resolutions, and enhanced compatibility with contemporary JavaScript code.
