Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@swc/core, a super-fast alternative to Babel, released version 1.3.72 on July 28, 2023, following the previous stable version 1.3.71 released just days before on July 25, 2023. Both versions share the same core functionality of providing a speedy JavaScript and TypeScript compiler. Examining the package data, a key difference is the bumped version numbers for all platform-specific dependencies, such as @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, and others, reflecting a focused effort on maintaining consistent updates across supported architectures; all dependency versions have been bumped from "1.3.71" to "1.3.72" for the new release. This suggests the update primarily concentrates on internal improvements, bug fixes, or performance enhancements within the core compilation engine and platform-specific binaries.

While the developer dependencies remain largely the same, indicating stability in the tooling ecosystem used for developing and testing the library itself, developers planning to upgrade should expect improvements in compilation speed, potential bug fixes, and enhanced compatibility across different operating systems and architectures. The changes between these two versions are likely not related to Typescript or Javascript language support, but rather rely on stability and minor improvements. The unpacked size of the new version has increased from 768784 to 769856, showing minor additions of files.
