Version 12.0.0 of the uuid package brings several updates compared to the older 11.1.0, potentially offering developers performance improvements and enhanced tooling. The headline is the increase in the ESLint version of both the main package and the @eslint/js dependency, jumping from 9.17.0 to 9.26.0 that might enable cleaner code standards. Prettier also gets a bump to version 3.5.3 from 3.4.2. This commitment to the latest linting and prettier versions suggests an emphasis on code quality and consistency within the uuid codebase. The command line tool @commitlint/cli and @commitlint/config-conventional are significantly upgraded, potentially streamlining the commit process and enforcing stricter commit message conventions, fostering better project maintainability.
However, typescript-eslint, @babel/eslint-parser, eslint-config-prettier and eslint-plugin-prettier all received version downgrades.
Another notable change is the significantly smaller distribution size to version 12.0.0, with the unpacked size going from 132KB to 66KB. This could indicate improvements in bundle size or a restructuring of the package contents, ultimately benefiting developers by reducing application size and improving load times. The release date are far into the future, but V12.0.0 sees a September 2025, while v11.1.0 version February 2025, indicating a recent development and potential inclusion of the latest features and fixes. However, its fileCount is significantly smaller as well.
