Version 0.10.0 Details

The npm package util saw significant evolution between versions 0.4.9 and 0.10.0. The older version, released in September 2011, carried a simple description as the "Node.JS util module" and relied on events.node as a runtime dependency, signifying its dependence on an external events library. This version lacked any explicit development dependencies, implying a simpler build and testing process, pointing to a more basic feature set. The repository was also different, pointing to coolaj86/nodejs-libs-4-browser.git, suggesting an origin perhaps focused on browser compatibility during its development.

Version 0.10.0, released in November 2013, maintained the same fundamental description but introduced zuul as a development dependency. This indicates a move towards more robust testing, as zuul enabled cross-browser testing. The repository changed to defunctzombie/node-util, signaling a potential shift in maintenance or project direction. The absence of runtime dependencies in the newer version suggests potential internal refactoring or integration of formerly external dependencies, simplifying the end-user installation. Developers migrating from 0.4.9 to 0.10.0 should be aware of the removed dependency on events.node, any breaking API changed to event management as well as the introduction of zuul into the build process. It signals a potential update to modern testing methodologies. The latter version likely includes more advanced or refined utility functions.
