v0.4.1 - Performance optimizations
Performance Improvements
This release focuses on algorithmic performance optimizations across 7 string utility functions.
Optimized Functions
- hashString: Replaced with FNV-1a implementation for better distribution
- levenshtein: Added prefix/suffix trimming optimization
- deburr: Consolidated 14+ regex operations into single pattern
- fuzzyMatch: Progressive threshold checking and short-circuit evaluation
- toASCII: Replaced 155+ regex operations with single-pass Map lookup
- normalizeWhitespace: Pre-compiled patterns and single-pass regex
- removeNonPrintable: Replaced 4 regex passes with range comparisons
Impact
- Significant performance improvements for strings with many replaceable characters
- Reduced complexity from O(n*m) to O(n) in several cases
- Bundle size remains under 6KB limit (5.13 kB ESM / 5.48 kB CJS)
- All optimizations maintain backward compatibility
- Zero dependencies maintained
