Version 1.4.1 Details

UUID version 1.4.1 represents a minor update to the popular UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) library, building upon the solid foundation laid by version 1.4.0. Both versions offer a rigorous implementation of RFC4122, providing developers with tools to generate both version 1 (timestamp-based) and version 4 (randomly generated) UUIDs. This ensures compatibility with systems requiring adherence to the standard.

The key difference lies in the project's repository URL. Version 1.4.0 points to https://github.com/broofa/node-uuid.git, while version 1.4.1 uses https://github.com/shtylman/node-uuid.git. This subtly suggests a potential change in maintainership or repository location, something developers might consider when tracking updates and potential future modifications.

Beyond this, both versions share the same core functionality, author (Robert Kieffer), and description. Notably, version 1.4.1 includes a devDependencies entry for mocha, a testing framework, indicating an emphasis on testing rigor. Published roughly a month apart, these versions offer reliable UUID generation with a high degree of confidence. Developers should consider following the package repository url that fits their project needs. The change of developement organization might bring different features or fixes in the future.
