Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@swc/core has released version 1.3.76, a minor update from the previous stable version 1.3.75. Both versions share the same core functionality as a super-fast alternative to Babel, targeting developers who need efficient JavaScript/TypeScript compilation. The key difference lies in the updated versions of the platform-specific binary dependencies. Each platform ("@swc/core-darwin-x64", "@swc/core-darwin-arm64", etc.) has been bumped from version 1.3.75 to 1.3.76, likely containing bug fixes, performance improvements, or support for newer system environments within the SWC compiler itself for those specific operating systems.

For developers, this update translates to potentially improved performance and stability when using @swc/core on their respective operating systems. The update also includes a bump in the @babel/compat-data dev dependency from ^7.22.6 to the latest version. While the core development dependencies remain mostly consistent between the two versions, staying up-to-date ensures compatibility with the latest JavaScript and TypeScript features, along with any bug fixes or security patches included in those updated dependencies. This particular version is a small update, so the core functionality will not change as such, but it is advised to update to the latest version in order to avoid potential security vulnerabilities on older versions. Finally, the unpacked size experienced a minor increase of around 2kB, so it is not a high concern, but it's there to consider for particularly sensible setups.
