Write-file-atomic is a valuable npm package for ensuring data integrity when writing files, preventing data corruption in situations where interruptions might occur. Version 2.4.0 brings a few key updates compared to the older 2.3.0 version. Most notably, there are changes in the developer dependencies. Standard, a Javascript linter, has been updated from version 10.0.2 to version 12.0.1, and tap has been updated from version 10.3.2 to version 12.1.3. This indicates improvements in code quality enforcement and testing frameworks used during the package's development. While the core dependencies (graceful-fs, imurmurhash, and signal-exit) remain the same, suggesting the core functionality hasn't drastically changed, the updated development dependencies highlight a focus on utilizing newer tools for code linting and testing. The newer version was released on January 22, 2019, a significant time jump from the 2.3.0 release in August 2017, indicating a period where these developer dependencies may have been updated and their specific fixes and improvements were tested. Also, the dist object contains more specific information; fileCount and unpackedSize. These attributes indicate a potential refactor on the codebase to achieve smaller file sizes and better packaging.
