Version 8.0.0 Details

UUID version 8.0.0 introduces several notable updates compared to its predecessor, version 7.0.3, primarily affecting the development dependencies and tooling used in building and testing the library. Both versions maintain the core functionality of generating RFC4122 (v1, v4, and v5) UUIDs, under the MIT license, ensuring developers have access to widely compatible UUID generation methods.

However, the upgrade shifts to newer versions of crucial development tools. For instance, Jest sees an upgrade from 25.1.0 to 25.3.0, while Rollup jumps from 1.32.0 to 2.6.1. There are considerable updates with the "@wdio" suite of tools, encompassing CLI, sync, local-runner, spec-reporter, jasmine-framework, browserstack-service, and static-server-service, reflecting potentially streamlined testing and improved browser compatibility. Babel core and preset-env also receive updates, promising potentially better handling of modern Javascript features. The update also reflect changes on the eslint packages.

Version 8.0.0 sees a slight reduction in fileCount within the distributed package, down from 50 to 46, yet the unpackedSize remains roughly the same. These dependency updates likely address bug fixes, performance enhancements, and compatibility improvements across the development workflow. Developers already using the library will benefit from these under-the-hood improvements, resulting in a potentially more robust and efficient UUID generation process without major API changes.
