Version 7.0.3 Details

UUID version 7.0.3 introduces subtle but notable changes compared to the preceding 7.0.2, primarily focusing on the development environment and testing infrastructure. Developers updating from 7.0.2 will observe alterations in the devDependencies section, reflecting advancements in the tooling used for building, testing, and maintaining the UUID library.

Specifically, version 7.0.3 replaced esm and several web driver related packages like http-server, browserstack-local and selenium-webdriver with @wdio packages (@wdio/cli, @wdio/sync, @wdio/local-runner, @wdio/spec-reporter, @wdio/jasmine-framework, @wdio/browserstack-service, and @wdio/static-server-service). This indicates a shift in testing strategy, possibly adopting WebdriverIO for end-to-end testing across different browsers and environments. The core functionality of generating UUIDs (v1, v4, and v5) described in RFC4122 should not be impacted but the way the tests are performed changed substantially.

Other notable updates include minor version bumps for dependencies such as rollup (1.31.1 to 1.32.0), bundlewatch (0.2.5 to 0.2.6), lint-staged (10.0.7 to 10.0.8), and @babel/core (7.8.4 to 7.8.7). File count in dist also increased, it went from 49 to 50 and unpackedSize grew slightly, from 92084 to 92933. While these updates typically incorporate bug fixes, performance enhancements, or new features in the respective tools, they are unlikely to necessitate code changes for developers directly utilizing the UUID library in their projects. The core API for generating UUIDs remains consistent. This upgrade primarily streamlines the development and testing processes involved in maintaining the uuid package itself potentially leading to more robust and reliable future releases.
