The npm package Autoprefixer, a tool designed to parse CSS and automatically add vendor prefixes based on data from the "Can I Use" website, saw a minor update between versions 0.6.20130721 and 0.6.20130728. Released just a week apart in July 2013, these versions offer similar core functionality but contain subtle differences that might be relevant for developers.
Both versions share the same description, license (LGPL 3), repository, author, and many of the same dependencies and development dependencies, suggesting a relatively stable codebase. Notably, the core functionality related to CSS parsing and stringification remains consistent, with css-stringify locked to ~> 1.3.1 in both versions. The suite of development tools like nib, glob, mocha, rework, should, stylus, fs-extra, component and coffee-script also remained untouched, indicating focused development efforts on other areas.
The key difference lies in the css-parse dependency. Version 0.6.20130728 updated this dependency from ~> 1.5.0 to ~> 1.5.1. This suggests a bug fix or minor feature addition within the css-parse library itself, which is crucial to Autoprefixer's CSS processing capabilities. While seemingly small, this update could potentially address parsing issues or improve compatibility with certain CSS syntax, leading to a more reliable prefixing process for developers. For those relying on precise CSS parsing, upgrading to the newer version might therefore be beneficial.
