Autoprefixer version 10.0.2 is a minor release improving upon version 10.0.1. Both versions parse CSS and automatically add vendor prefixes, ensuring compatibility across different browsers based on data from the "Can I Use" website. This eliminates the tedious manual work of adding prefixes like -webkit- or -moz-, making web development faster and less error-prone.
Key differences between the two versions lie within their dependency updates. Version 10.0.2 updates the browserslist dependency from 4.14.5 to 4.14.7. browserslist is crucial for specifying which browsers Autoprefixer should target, so this update likely incorporates newer browser versions and potentially bug fixes in browser detection. Furthermore, the caniuse-lite dependency sees an update from 1.0.30001137 to 1.0.30001157. caniuse-lite provides the actual data on browser support for various CSS features. This jump means the newer version is likely more accurate and comprehensive in its prefixing decisions, covering more recent features and potentially addressing inaccuracies in older browser support data. The unpacked size of version 10.0.2 is slightly larger (246044) than version 10.0.1 (245646), implying the added size comes from the mentioned dependency upgrades. The release date also indicates more recent support, with version 10.0.2 releasing approximately a month and a half after version 10.0.1. For developers, using the latest version ensures better browser compatibility and access to the most up-to-date CSS feature support data. Therefore, upgrading to 10.0.2 is recommended for a smoother and more accurate prefixing process. Both versions share the same core functionality, peer dependency on PostCSS, MIT license, and authorship.
