Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Version 1.2.229 of @swc/core, a high-performance alternative to Babel, delivers a minor update over its predecessor, version 1.2.228. While the core functionality remains consistent, evidenced by the identical description ("Super-fast alternative for babel"), the key distinction lies in the updated dependency versions for platform-specific binaries. Both versions rely on a suite of dependencies like glob, jest, acorn, Babel-related tools, and various testing and utility libraries for development. However, the @swc/core package's core binaries tailored for different operating systems and architectures, such as @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, and @swc/core-win32-x64-msvc, have been bumped from version 1.2.228 to 1.2.229.

This upgrade signifies potential improvements or bug fixes within these platform-specific compiled components of SWC. Developers should consider this update if they've encountered platform-specific issues or want to benefit from potential performance enhancements across different operating systems, including macOS, Linux (with various flavors like GNU and musl), FreeBSD, and Windows (both x64 and ia32 architectures). While the devDependencies list is extensive and shared between the versions, indicating a focus on maintaining a robust development and testing environment, the core change relates to the compiled binaries that directly impact the transformation process. The release date difference and the slight increase in unpacked size further supports that this is indeed the changes that we can expect.
