Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Yargs, a popular command-line argument parser for Node.js, released version 6.6.0 as an update to the previous stable version 6.5.0. Both versions share the same core functionality, continuing yargs' tradition as a "modern, pirate-themed, successor to optimist," aimed at simplifying command-line interface creation. The primary difference between the two versions lies in their dependencies to other packages. Notably, version 6.6.0 replaces the "window-size" dependency, present in 6.5.0, with the "os-locale" dependency.This might indicate improved handling of terminal dimensions and localization. Developers should consider the implications of this change, especially if their applications relied on the specific behavior of "window-size". Both versions use a range of dependencies for tasks such as internationalization ("y18n"), command-line interface styling ("cliui"), string manipulation ("camelcase", "decamelize", "string-width"), module loading ("read-pkg-up", "require-directory", "require-main-filename", "which-module", "get-caller-file"), and process control ("set-blocking"). Development dependencies, which are used for testing and building the package, remain largely consistent, with tools like Mocha, Chai, and Standard being used for test automation, code linting, and style checking. The library is licensed under the permissive MIT license, allowing broad usage and modification. Version 6.6.0 was released on December 30, 2016 (while 6.5.0 on December 1, 2016). Developers should evaluate the "window-size" to "os-locale" transition when deciding which version best suits their needs.
