A full version history of the word-wrap package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
word-wrap is a JavaScript package designed to wrap text to a specified line length, ensuring readability in various display environments. Developed by Jon Schlinkert, the package has evolved through several versions to enhance its functionality and maintainability.
The initial versions, from 0.1.0 to 0.3.1 (released throughout 2014), focused on establishing the core word-wrapping functionality. There were also updates to the development dependencies (verb, should). Version 0.1.2 introduced a longest dependency which could improve edge cases.
The package reached version 1.0.0 in late 2014. Subsequent 1.x releases, including 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 and 1.1.0 (released in early to mid 2015), enhanced the testing framework, incorporating mocha for more robust unit testing and adding an MIT license.
The 1.2.x series (released from late 2016 through 2023) continues to see active maintenance, with updates like the introduction of gulp-format-md for documentation formatting. The recent releases, 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 in July 2023, demonstrate ongoing commitment to the project. The description has remained consistent across all versions indicating the underlying functionality is stable. The consistent author highlights the dedication throughout the project's history.
