Autoprefixer is a valuable tool for web developers, automatically adding vendor prefixes to CSS rules, ensuring compatibility across various browsers based on the Can I Use website data. Comparing version *0.7.20130806* with the immediately preceding *0.7.20130805*, the changes are subtle yet noteworthy. Both versions share the same core functionality, dependencies like css-parse and css-stringify for CSS processing, and development dependencies including tools for testing (mocha, should), CSS pre-processing (nib, stylus, rework), and build processes (glob, fs-extra, component, coffee-script). They are both licensed under LGPL 3 and are authored by Andrey Sitnik, with the source code available on GitHub.
The primary distinction lies in their release dates. Version *0.7.20130806* was published on August 6, 2013, at 09:58:36 UTC, a mere 13 minutes after version *0.7.20130805*, which was released at 09:45:45 UTC on the same day. This suggests that the later version likely addresses a minor bug fix or an incremental update to the browser compatibility data. For developers, this highlights the active maintenance even in these older versions. While the functional impact is likely minimal, choosing the very latest patch ( *0.7.20130806*) is generally recommended to benefit from the most up-to-date vendor prefixing rules and potentially address any quickly identified issues in the earlier release. Both versions provide essential automated support which saves developers significant time and effort optimizing CSS for different browsers.
