Version 2.0.3 Details

UUID version 2.0.3 offers a subtle but potentially important update compared to version 2.0.2. Both versions provide robust implementations of RFC4122 UUIDs, covering versions 1 and 4, ensuring developers have access to industry-standard unique identifiers. Both versions share the same core functionality and testing framework, using Mocha for their development dependencies, and are released under the permissive MIT license. The author and maintainer remains Robert Kieffer.

The key difference lies in the repository location. Version 2.0.3 points to the defunctzombie/node-uuid repository, whereas version 2.0.2 referenced shtylman/node-uuid. This change in repository indicates a potential shift in maintainership or at least repository ownership. Developers should take note, as it might influence where they report issues, submit pull requests, or track future development. The release dates also highlight this shift, with version 2.0.3 being released significantly later than 2.0.2 indicating this is likely a maintainership, security, or minor improvements update and that users are encouraged to upgrade. The dist tarball also shows a different location, as it reflects the change in the repository. Thus, those using older versions of uuid should upgrade.
