Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Vue Router, the official routing library for Vue.js applications, released version 4.0.14 as a minor update following version 4.0.13. Both versions are designed for Vue 3 and provide essential features for building Single-Page Applications (SPAs), including navigation, route parameters, programmatic navigation, named routes, and different history modes. Examining the package data, the core dependencies and devDependencies remain largely consistent between the two versions. This means the fundamental tools used in development, such as Vue itself, Jest for testing, Vite for building, and Rollup for bundling, are the same. This signals that the update from 4.0.13 to 4.0.14 is unlikely to introduce major breaking changes or require significant code modifications in existing projects.

The key differences between the versions reside in the "dist" object, particularly in the unpackedSize and the releaseDate. Version 4.0.14 has a slightly larger unpacked size (805825 bytes) compared to 4.0.13 (805614 bytes). This suggests that there were some minor code additions or adjustments. The change in releaseDate - 4.0.14 released on March 10, 2022, after 4.0.13 released on February 28, 2022 - confirms it's a newer version. Developers should consider upgrading to version 4.0.14 if they are using an older version and want to benefit from the latest bug fixes and minor improvements. While there were no changes in the dependencies and devDependencies it is always better to keep packages updated specially if those belong to a software like Vue Router that plays a really important role in the correct an optimized flow of the application.
