Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@swc/core has been updated to version 1.4.16, released on April 18, 2024, following the previous stable version 1.4.15 released just a day before on April 17, 2024. Both versions are described as a "Super-fast alternative for babel", emphasizing their speed and role as a JavaScript/TypeScript compiler. The core dependencies, @swc/types and @swc/counter, remain consistent across both versions. Examining the devDependencies, the vast majority of packages remain unchanged, suggesting a maintenance release. Although most packages are nearly identical, inspecting closer reveals that the unpackedSize has slightly decreased from *209344* to *209126*, suggesting some minor internal size optimisation. Version 1.4.16 was released a day later, so it's recommended that developers upgrade to this version to take advantage of the most up-to-date version and any recent bug fixes or optimizations. Developers who rely on specific platform binaries from the optionalDependencies section should also be aware that the version numbers for @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-darwin-arm64 and other platform specific packages have been bumped from 1.4.15 to 1.4.16 to match the version number of the core package. As both point to same @swc/helpers peer dependency version, the update is likely a refinement leveraging the existing feature set and a direct replacement.
