The npm package autoprefixer, a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS rules based on data from the Can I Use website, saw a minor update between version 0.8.20131007 and 0.8.20131009. Both versions share the same core functionality, description, dependencies (like css-parse and css-stringify for CSS processing), and development dependencies crucial for testing and building, including testing frameworks like mocha and CSS preprocessors such as stylus and nib. They are both licensed under LGPL 3 and maintained by Andrey Sitnik, with the source code residing on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community contribution.
The key distinction between these two versions lies in a minor update to one of the development dependencies: fs-extra. Version 0.8.20131007 relies on fs-extra version 0.6.4, while version 0.8.20131009 upgrades to version 0.7.0. While seemingly small, this update likely incorporates bug fixes or minor feature enhancements within fs-extra related to file system operations, potentially improving the efficiency or reliability of autoprefixer's build or test processes. This change makes the newer version appealing for developers seeking the latest improvements of the tools that build it. The release dates also show a very small gap so the change was probably a quick hotfix. Ultimately, for most developers using autoprefixer in their projects, the core functionality remains consistent.
