@swc/core versions 1.2.197 and 1.2.196 are both rapid JavaScript and TypeScript compilers designed as a high-performance alternative to Babel. While the core functionality remains consistent between the two, subtle differences exist, primarily in their platform-specific dependencies and the overall size of the package.
Version 1.2.197 includes updated versions of its platform-specific binaries, such as @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, and others, all bumped to version 1.2.197 to match the core package version. This likely incorporates bug fixes, performance improvements, or support for newer language features specific to those platforms which ensure better compatibility across different operating systems and architectures. Similarly, optionalDependencies are also updated to 1.2.197.
The unpackedSize attribute reveals a slight increase from 518039 bytes in version 1.2.196 to 520167 bytes in version 1.2.197, suggesting the inclusion of additional or updated code within the platform-specific binaries. The release date indicates that version 1.2.197 was released approximately five days after 1.2.196, signifying a quick follow-up release, potentially addressing critical issues or incorporating urgent updates. Developers should consider upgrading to version 1.2.197 for the most up-to-date platform support and potential performance enhancements, ensuring seamless compatibility across diverse deployment environments for blazing fast compilations.
