@swc/core, a super-fast alternative to Babel, released version 1.2.246 on September 1, 2022, following closely behind version 1.2.245 released on August 30, 2022. While both versions share the same core functionality and description, subtle differences exist, primarily concerning file sizes. Version 1.2.246 shows a slight increase in unpacked size (615712 bytes) compared to version 1.2.245 (613582 bytes), suggesting potential internal optimizations or bug fixes.
Developers looking into this library for its speed and efficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript compilation will find both versions reliable for transforming modern code for broader browser compatibility. Both package versions depend and offer optional dependency on platform-specific binaries (darwin, freebsd, linux and windows). Choosing between the two isn't critical unless specific bug fixes or performance enhancements were introduced in the newer version. Reviewing the changelogs or release notes (if available) would provide more specific details of improvements between versions 1.2.245 and 1.2.246. Note that even if it's a micro release it would have received testing before getting published to NPM.
Both versions maintain the same dependencies and development dependencies, showcasing consistent compatibility with tools like Jest, TypeScript, React, and Babel plugins. The core team consistently providing updates and patches is a good sign for developers using the library that know they would be supported in the future.
