Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Autoprefixer version 10.4.3 represents a subtle yet important update to its predecessor, version 10.4.2, offering developers the latest in CSS prefixing technology. Both versions serve the core function of parsing CSS and adding vendor prefixes, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of browsers based on data from "Can I Use."

However, key differences lie in the updated dependencies. Version 10.4.3 incorporates browserslist version 4.20.2 (up from 4.19.1) and caniuse-lite version 1.0.30001317 (up from 1.0.30001297). These updates mean improved browser targeting and more accurate prefixing rules, reflecting the most recent browser landscape. fraction.js has been updated to version 4.2.0, up from 4.1.2 in the previous version. The size of the unpacked package saw a slight increase, indicating enhanced features or improved datasets.

The release date of version 10.4.3 is March 15, 2022, while 10.4.2 was released on January 7, 2022, signaling a relatively recent refresh of the package. Notably, the funding information differs slightly, with version 10.4.3 including both Open Collective and Tidelift links, where the previous version only listed Open Collective.

For developers, these updates translate to better out-of-the-box compatibility and reduced manual intervention in managing vendor prefixes. Keeping Autoprefixer up-to-date ensures a smoother development workflow and delivers a consistent user experience across browsers. The upgrades to browserslist and caniuse-lite are particularly noteworthy, offering the most current browser support and feature detection.
