Version 3.3.2 Details

UUID version 3.3.2 is a minor patch release following version 3.3.0, both of which are implementations of RFC4122 UUID generation, supporting versions 1, 4, and 5. Primarily, developers leveraging the uuid package for generating unique identifiers will find both versions fundamentally similar in functionality. The core API for creating UUIDs remains consistent, ensuring a seamless upgrade.

Examining the metadata, the key differences lie in the release date and the unpacked size of the package. Version 3.3.2 was released on June 28, 2018, while version 3.3.0 was released on June 26, 2018. This indicates a very short timeframe between releases, suggesting that version 3.3.2 likely addresses a specific bug fix or minor optimization introduced in or missed by version 3.3.0. Also, the unpacked size slightly decreased from 44057 to 43599, a potential code optimization or removal of unnecessary files, yet file count remains constant at 21. The versions share the same suite of developer dependencies, including tools for linting, commit management, and testing (husky, mocha, eslint, @commitlint, standard-version), reinforcing a focus on code quality and maintainability.

For developers, upgrading from 3.3.0 to 3.3.2 is advisable to benefit from these subtle improvements and potential bug fixes without significant code changes. The uuid package is essential for creating unique identifiers in various applications, including database records, session management, and distributed systems, hence using the latest stable version is generally recommended.
