Autoprefixer version 10.2.6 represents a subtle yet noteworthy update over its predecessor, version 10.2.5. Both versions, designed to parse CSS and automatically add vendor prefixes based on Can I Use data, share a common foundation of core dependencies like colorette, normalize-range, and postcss-value-parser, ensuring consistent utility for developers. However, key differences lie in the updated dependency versions, notably fraction.js, browserslist, and caniuse-lite.
Version 10.2.6 upgrades fraction.js to version 4.1.1 (from 4.0.13), browserslist to version 4.16.6 (from 4.16.3), and significantly updates caniuse-lite to version 1.0.30001230 (from 1.0.30001196). These upgrades are crucial for developers as they directly impact the accuracy and comprehensiveness of vendor prefixing. Newer versions of browserslist ensure that Autoprefixer targets the latest browser versions according to specified criteria. The caniuse-lite update represents the most significant change, as it directly reflects the latest browser compatibility data, enabling more accurate and relevant prefixing.
While the core functionality of Autoprefixer remains consistent, developers should upgrade to version 10.2.6 to leverage the most up-to-date browser support information and benefit from any bug fixes or performance improvements included within the dependency updates. Size also matters; although the file count decreased, the unpacked size went down which could mean some optimizations were performed that could have impacted the performance. This will make sure that their CSS is optimized for the widest range of users. Also, it allows to keep a cutting-edge performance.
