@swc/core is a super-fast JavaScript/TypeScript compiler, serving as a compelling alternative to Babel for developers seeking performance gains. Version 1.3.2 builds upon the solid foundation of version 1.3.1, offering incremental improvements and refinements.
The core dependencies, crucial for platform-specific builds, are updated from version 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 across all supported architectures (Darwin x64/arm64, FreeBSD x64, Android arm64/arm-eabi, Linux x64-gnu/musl, Linux arm64-gnu/musl/gnueabihf, Windows x64/ia32/arm64-msvc). This means that developers get the latest platform-specific optimizations and bug fixes in 1.3.2. Essentially, the difference is a bump of the underlying native dependencies to the newer version.
Beyond dependency updates, it's likely that 1.3.2 incorporates internal bug fixes, stability improvements, and potentially minor performance enhancements. While the devDependencies remain largely similar, suggesting no significant changes to the build or testing process, developers should always check the official changelog for a comprehensive list of modifications.
If upgrading from 1.3.1, it is advisable to evaluate the jump in unpacked size observed (630590 to 634356) and also to review the release notes to identify if there are specific, relevant fixes or features that is important to their current usage of SWC. For new users, SWC continues to be an attractive compiler option in projects with performance constraints.
