@swc/core is a super-fast JavaScript and TypeScript compiler, designed as a performant alternative to Babel. Comparing versions 1.2.206 and 1.2.205, developers will find subtle but important updates. Both versions share the same core description and licensing under Apache-2.0, reflecting the project's commitment to open-source principles. Dependencies and optional dependencies in both versions include platform-specific binaries, like @swc/core-darwin-x64 and @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, ensuring compatibility across various operating systems and architectures.
The key difference lies in the version numbers of these platform-specific binaries within the dependencies and optional dependencies. Version 1.2.206 uses binaries with the 1.2.206 tag, while version 1.2.205 relies on its corresponding 1.2.205 binaries, indicating targeted fixes and improvements for each platform. Crucially, the unpackedSize has increased slightly from 534961 to 535802, and the release date is different indicating code changes that have been incorporated. Developers should upgrade to version 1.2.206 to benefit from the latest optimizations and bug fixes tailored for their specific operating environments, potentially resulting in improved compilation speeds and stability. The update also signifies active maintenance and refinement of the swc compiler.
