Version 2.6.0 Details

The npm package xhr offers a lightweight abstraction for making XMLHttpRequests (XHR), simplifying web requests in JavaScript environments. Comparing versions 2.6.0 and 2.5.0 reveals subtle but important changes. Both versions maintain the same core dependencies: global (providing cross-platform global object access), is-function (a reliable function check), parse-headers (for parsing HTTP header strings), and xtend (for object extension). Developer dependencies, including tools for testing and pre-commit hooks, also remain consistent between the versions.

The key difference lies in the updated global dependency, shifting from "~4.3.0" in version 2.5.0 to "~4.4.0" in version 2.6.0, suggesting the package addressed a problem or took advantage of new possibilities from global. Morever the dist files changed a bit, in particular there is an increase in the number of files from 6 to 7, and decrease in size from 21516 to 21464. It's also worth noting the significant gap in release dates - version 2.5.0 was released in May 2018 while 2.6.0 came out in November 2020, implying a period of stability followed by an update addressing certain considerations. For developers, xhr provides a straightforward way to handle XHR requests without the complexities of browser-specific implementations.
