Version 1.3.40 Details

@swc/core is a high-performance JavaScript and TypeScript compiler written in Rust, designed as a faster alternative to Babel. Version 1.3.40 was released on March 13, 2023, succeeding version 1.3.39 released on March 10, 2023. Both versions share the same core dependencies and development dependencies, indicating a focus on stability and incremental improvements. Key dependencies include platform-specific binaries like @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, and @swc/core-win32-x64-msvc, ensuring compatibility across various operating systems and architectures. The core development dependencies include testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha), utilities (lodash, terser), and build tools (typescript, @babel/core).

While the dependencies are consistent, a notable difference lies in the unpackedSize within the dist object. Version 1.3.40 shows an unpackedSize of 725547 bytes, a slight increase from the 723604 bytes in version 1.3.39. This increase, though minor, may suggest the introduction of new features, bug fixes, or performance optimizations within the compiler's core logic. Developers should consider this when evaluating potential performance impacts.

Both use the same version of @swc/core as dev dependency, keeping it at 1.2.220, this is an interesting development choice showing that this specific version has been considered good for the developement and build of the core itself for both versions.

For developers, @swc/core offers significant advantages in terms of compilation speed, crucial for large projects and continuous integration workflows. The consistent dependency management across versions inspires reliability. While the core is consistent, it's advisable to review the changelog for a detailed breakdown of specific improvements and fixes introduced in version 1.3.40 to leverage the latest enhancements effectively.
