The autoprefixer package, version 0.1.20130409, marks an early iteration of this essential CSS tool, designed to automatically add vendor prefixes to CSS properties and values, ensuring cross-browser compatibility. This version, released in April 2013, provides a solution to the then-common challenge of managing vendor prefixes manually, by analyzing your CSS and selectively applying prefixes only where required for targeted browsers.
While the features in this specific build aren't directly comparable to later releases because information on the previous version is missing, developers interested in its historical significance should note its dependence on the rework CSS parser. This particular version relies on rework (version 0.13.2 or later) for parsing and manipulating CSS. For testing, it uses a suite of testing frameworks including chai, mocha, sinon, and sinon-chai, along with coffee-script for testing scripts, ensuring a level of quality control. Licensed under LGPL 3, it offers flexibility in its usage.
Developers should consider this version as a foundation of autoprefixer, noting that the current versions boast broader browser support, advanced features, a more streamlined workflow, and significantly expanded CSS standards coverage. New projects should strongly prefer the latest stable releases. But for historical research or testing legacy code, it offers a window into web development practices of the early 2010s.
