@swc/core is a high-performance JavaScript and TypeScript compiler, designed as a faster alternative to Babel. Comparing versions 1.2.165 and 1.2.167 reveals subtle yet potentially impactful changes for developers. Both versions share the same core description, aiming for speed and efficiency in code transformation. Examining the dependencies, we notice that both versions depend to their specific versions to target all major platforms. The core library consistently relies on platform-specific binaries for different operating systems and architectures.
Looking at development dependencies, there are a lot of shared dependencies with similar versions and looking into the differences is not possible to define if there were API changes or specific behaviour changes due a lack of context about the changes. In terms of optional dependencies, both package versions share exactly the same list of packages, meaning the installation process and platform support remain consistent. The key difference appears to be in the dist section. Version 1.2.167 increased its unpacked size, which could indicate added features, bug fixes, or performance enhancements related to code transformation. It's also important for developers to check the release notes or changelog to get specific insights about the changes made.
