UUID version 11.0.0 introduces notable changes compared to the previous stable version, 10.0.0, primarily focused on dependency updates, potential performance improvements stemming from those updates, and a significantly larger package size.
Developers upgrading to 11.0.0 will observe a shift in the tooling landscape. ESLint, Prettier, and TypeScript have all been bumped to newer versions (ESLint from 9.4.0 to 9.13.0, Prettier from 3.3.0 to 3.3.3, Typescript added on 5.6.3 version), potentially requiring adjustments to project configurations to maintain compatibility. Some testing libraries present in version 10.0.0 are missing like @wdio/cli which could show a slight shift in testing environments.
The dist object reveals that version 11.0.0 has a dramatically larger unpacked size (667676 bytes) and file count (281) compared to version 10.0.0 (168173 bytes and 96 files, respectively). This size increase may be due to the added typescript and other tooling which means they are probably bundled inside the package, potentially impacting install times and bundle sizes, although the newer tooling could conversely lead to more optimized builds in the long run if you don't use a module bundler like webpack.
The release date also indicates a fresh update, being released on October 27, 2024, while version 10.0.0 was released on June 9, 2024, which means a reasonable amount of time has passed between the 2 releases and you can expect some bug fixes or improvements.
