Vue Router, a routing solution for Vue.js applications, saw a release of version 0.7.2 on October 19, 2015, shortly after version 0.7.1 which was released on October 13, 2015. Both versions shared a common core, leveraging babel-runtime and route-recognizer as dependencies for fundamental routing functionalities. They are licensed under the MIT License and were authored by Evan You. While the core dependencies remained consistent, a notable distinction lies in the development dependencies. Version 0.7.2 aimed at vue#dev while the previous one targeted vue#1.0.0-beta.
For developers, this subtle change implies a shift in the targeted Vue.js version during development and testing. The jump to #dev branch in the newer version implies a connection to the latest, potentially unstable, development branch of Vue.js at the moment of the packaging. This development choices impacts testing strategies and compatibility considerations. The rest of the development dependencies, required for building, testing, and linting the library, remained largely identical, ensuring a consistent development environment across both versions.
When deciding which version best fits your workflow, consider the stability and compatibility requirements of your Vue.js project. If you are working on a project with the latest Vue.js features this newer version will better suite you. If you want to target a Beta version of Vue.js, you will prefer the older one. Both versions are similar and robust routing choices to empower your Vue.js applications.
