Version 16.0.0 Details

Yargs version 16.0.0 introduces several key updates and enhancements compared to its predecessor, version 15.4.1. A notable change lies in the dependencies. v16.0.0 updates y18n to ^5.0.1 (from ^4.0.0), cliui to ^7.0.0 (from ^6.0.0), and yargs-parser to ^19.0.4 (from ^18.1.2). v15.4.1 has dependencies find-up, decamelize, set-blocking, which-module and require-main-filename which are not dependencies of v16.0.0. These dependency updates often bring performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features, which can translate to a more robust and efficient experience for developers using yargs.

Furthermore, the development environment receives attention with upgrades to several devDependencies. Most notably, the Typescript version jumps from 3.7.0 to 4.0.2. The introduction of rollup and related plugins (rollup-plugin-cleanup and @wessberg/rollup-plugin-ts) in v16.0.0 suggests a shift towards more modern bundling techniques within the yargs development workflow. While es6-promise gets removed from the dev dependencies. Developers switching to v16.0.0 can expect a potentially streamlined development process and improved build outputs, while benefiting from the updated core libraries. The unpacked size of v16.0.0 (294217) is notably larger than that of v15.4.1 (230562).
