Version 1.4.5 of @swc/core, a high-performance alternative to Babel, introduces subtle but potentially impactful changes compared to its predecessor, version 1.4.4. Both versions maintain the same core dependencies on @swc/types and @swc/counter, and share a nearly identical suite of development dependencies, indicating a largely consistent development environment and tooling. The most notable differences lie within the optionalDependencies section. Version 1.4.5 updates the versions of platform-specific binaries such as @swc/core-darwin-x64, @swc/core-darwin-arm64, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, etc., to 1.4.5, matching the core package version. In contrast, version 1.4.4 lists these binaries as version 1.4.4.
This change signifies that version 1.4.5 includes updated pre-compiled binaries tailored for various operating systems and architectures, potentially offering performance improvements or bug fixes specific to those platforms. Developers should consider upgrading to 1.4.5 to benefit from these platform-specific optimizations. The updated release date also indicates more recent changes. For developers integrating @swc/core into their projects, this incremental update warrants attention, especially if they encountered issues related to specific platforms in the previous version. Careful consideration of platform-specific behavior is advised when upgrading.
