Performance: Experience faster UUID generation with improved performance in version 4, utilizing a single buffer for random number generation. This change significantly boosts the speed of UUID creation, making it more efficient for your applications.
Performance: Enjoy enhanced efficiency with the new bytesToUuid function, which converts bytes to UUIDs more effectively without increasing the size of the resulting string. This improvement leads to quicker UUID generation overall.
Improvements
Testing: Benefit from more robust testing with the addition of tests for the buffer API, ensuring that UUID generation works seamlessly with buffers. This enhancement helps maintain the reliability of UUID generation across different use cases.
Testing: Stay informed about performance with the introduction of a simple benchmark to catch any performance regressions. This feature allows you to monitor the efficiency of UUID generation over time.
Code Quality: Enjoy improved code quality with the upgrade to ES6 standards, which optimizes the use of arrays and enhances overall maintainability. This change ensures that the codebase is modern and efficient.
