@swc/core, a lightning-fast alternative to Babel, saw a minor update from version 1.2.179 to 1.2.181. While the core description remains focused on its speed and functionality as a babel replacement, under the hood, some changes occurred. The dependency and optional dependency versions for platform-specific builds like "@swc/core-darwin-x64", "@swc/core-linux-x64-gnu", and others were bumped from "1.2.179" to "1.2.181", ensuring consistency across the board.
Developers should notice a subtle difference in the unpacked size of the package, increasing from 488059 bytes in 1.2.179, to 491112 in 1.2.181, indicating added features and enhancements. The release date also shifted from May 8, 2022, to May 9, 2022, reflecting the updated build.
The core development dependencies remained, including testing frameworks like Jest and Mocha, React, Typescript, and Babel-related tools. Because of the similar versions, developers shouldn't encounter any breaking changes, but should benefit from incremental improvements and bug fixes included in the updated platform-specific builds. Updating is suggested to take advantage of these stability improvements.
