date-fns 5.0.0-alpha.0

v5.0.0-alpha.0

on Node.js Yarn

v5 focuses on reducing the date-fns package size. Compared to v4.3.0, this version reduces the zipped package size from 5.83 MB down to 2.89 MB.

It removes the CDN scripts from the date-fns package and moves them to a separate @date-fns/cdn package.

It is just the first step in optimizing the package size. Expect further size reduction in the future versions.

Changed

• BREAKING: The CDN scripts are now available via the @date-fns/cdn npm package instead of date-fns. Users relying on the latest CDN version (e.g., https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/date-fns/cdn.min.js) would be served a polyfill that inserts a script with the correct URL (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@date-fns/cdn/cdn.min.js) into the page.
