Version 0.12.2 of the util package arrives as a refined iteration over its predecessor, version 0.12.1, both aiming to provide Node.js's core util functionalities to a wider range of JavaScript environments. A key distinction lies in the dependencies; while both versions share the core dependencies like inherits, is-arguments, and safe-buffer, version 0.12.2 drops the direct dependency on object.entries present in 0.12.1. It's likely this functionality was either incorporated directly, or addressed differently within the module preventing the need of the dependency.
Both versions retain identical development dependencies, focusing on testing and support for asynchronous operations. The airtap, is-async-supported, object.assign, run-series, and tape dependencies ensure consistent behavior across browsers and Node.js, providing developers with robust testing infrastructure. License, repository, and author information are unchanged, maintaining the package's established open-source foundation under the MIT license and the stewardship of Joyent.
The dist metadata provides insights into the package's size and availability. Version 0.12.2, released on February 24, 2020 increased in unpacked size and releaseDate compared to the previousVersion. If you are using version 0.12.1 and didn't pin the version, after upgrading your dependencies your project will automatically get the latest version (0.12.2).
