Autoprefixer, a vital tool for modern web development, automates the addition of vendor prefixes to CSS rules, ensuring cross-browser compatibility based on data from "Can I Use." Comparing versions 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 reveals subtle but potentially important differences for developers. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including colorette for colorizing terminal output, fraction.js for handling CSS fractions, browserslist for managing browser compatibility targets, caniuse-lite for browser feature support data, normalize-range for normalizing numeric ranges, and postcss-value-parser for parsing CSS values. The peer dependency requirement for postcss remains at "^8.1.0" for both.
The key difference lies in their release date and unpacked size. Version 10.3.1 was released on July 12, 2021, while 10.3.0 was released on July 10, 2021, indicating that 10.3.1 is a patch release addressing issues present in 10.3.0. The unpacked size of 10.3.1 is marginally larger (224731 bytes) than 10.3.0 (224648 bytes), suggesting that the patch included minor code additions or modifications.
For developers, this suggests updating to version 10.3.1 is advisable, as it likely contains bug fixes and stability improvements over 10.3.0. Both versions rely on the same underlying data and parsing libraries, so no major API changes or feature additions are expected. Developers should always prioritize the latest stable release to benefit from the most refined version of the tool.
