Vue.js saw a minor version bump from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 in November 2015, introducing changes primarily focused on development tooling rather than core functionality impacting end-users directly. Both versions maintained the core philosophy of a "Simple, Fast & Composable MVVM" framework. The dependency on envify remained consistent across both releases, suggesting stability in handling environment variables.
The significant differences lie in the devDependencies. Version 1.0.9 showcases an updated build process utilizing rollup and webpack (version 1.12.2) alongside Babel for ES6 transpilation, indicated by the inclusion of rollup-plugin-babel, rollup-plugin-replace, babel-core, babel-loader and babel-runtime. This suggests a shift towards a more modern JavaScript workflow, potentially improving build times and code optimization. Grunt was removed. The update might also indicate the introduction of new features requiring Babel for cross-browser compatibility.
Developers should consider version 1.0.9 for its potentially improved build process and compatibility with modern JavaScript features if transpilation is a desired feature in their workflow. However, for projects heavily reliant on Grunt, version 1.0.8 might be preferable. Both versions share the same underlying core principles, aiming for simplicity and performance in building interactive user interfaces, and are licensed under the permissive MIT license.
