A full version history of the @adobe/css-tools package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
The @adobe/css-tools package, a CSS parser and stringifier, has undergone several version updates that reflect improvements in functionality, dependencies, and developer tooling.
Starting with the 4.0.x series, the package relied on tools like gts, jest, webpack, and specific TypeScript versions for development and testing. These initial releases focused on establishing a solid foundation and refining the core CSS parsing capabilities.
The 4.1.x and 4.2.x releases continued to leverage the same core development tools but introduced minor updates and refinements, potentially addressing bug fixes and improving performance.
A significant shift occurred in the 4.3.x series, where parcel was introduced as a build tool alongside updates to gts, jest, and typescript. This indicates a move towards modern bundling and potentially smaller package sizes.
Version 4.4.0 continues on the path, updating the parcel. The 4.4.1 release shows changes in development dependencies, using a newer gts and @types/node. The 4.4.2 release upgraded the parcel version, and also TypeScript and @type/node and @types/bytes, while 4.4.3 updates also the Parcel. 4.4.4 version marks a more evolved structure, with comprehensive updates that span development dependencies that reflect a commitment to modern tooling @biomejs/biome","@rollup/plugin-commonjs","@rollup/plugin-node-resolve" and embracing modern methodologies for CSS processing.
