@swc/core has been updated to version 1.3.81, released on August 30, 2023, following the previous stable version 1.3.80 released on August 25, 2023. Both versions maintain the core functionality of a super-fast Babel alternative. The key changes lie in the version bumps of internal dependencies. Specifically, @swc/types advances from version 0.1.3 to 0.1.4, likely incorporating new type definitions or refinements for enhanced type safety and code completion within the swc ecosystem.
Furthermore, all platform-specific binary dependencies for @swc/core, such as @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, and others for different operating systems and architectures, are updated to 1.3.81 from 1.3.80. This widespread update across platform-specific binaries suggests potential performance improvements, bug fixes, or support for newer target environments within the swc compiler itself. Developers benefit from these under-the-hood enhancements without requiring significant code modifications on their end, ensuring smoother and more efficient JavaScript and TypeScript compilation. The unpacked size has also slightly increased to 722657, suggesting that the new release included more code than the previous version. Both versions use Apache 2.0 license, so developers can feel secure about using it for their projects.
