Version 0.9.1 Details

Wtfnode is a valuable utility for Node.js developers grappling with the common issue of Node processes failing to exit gracefully. Version 0.9.1 builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, version 0.9.0, offering incremental improvements that can streamline debugging workflows. Both versions share the core functionality of helping identify lingering resources preventing process termination, a frequent headache in asynchronous JavaScript environments. They both utilize coffeescript and source-map-support under the hood. Also both versions are released under the ISC license, providing developers with the freedom to use, modify, and distribute the software.

The key distinction between the two versions lies in the development dependencies. Version 0.9.0 lists coffeescript and source-map-support as dependencies, while version 0.9.1 designates them as development dependencies (devDependencies). This change is significant because it means that users installing version 0.9.1 in a production environment will *not* automatically install these packages, leading to a slightly leaner deployment footprint. Furthermore, version 0.9.1 has 5 files inside the package, while version 0.9.0 has one less (4 files). This is reflected in the increase of unpackedSize which goes from 34671 to 35489.

For developers, wtfnode proves indispensable when encountering stalled Node processes. It assists in pinpointing open handles, timers, and other event loop activities that could be keeping the process alive. By offering insight into the reasons behind non-exit, wtfnode empowers developers to quickly resolve these issues, leading to more robust and stable applications. Whether you're diagnosing a stubborn test suite or troubleshooting unresponsive services, wtfnode is a helpful tool in the Node.js developer's toolkit.
