Css-loader has released a new version, 7.1.1, building slightly upon the functionalities offered in version 7.1.0. Both versions serve the core purpose of enabling webpack to understand and bundle CSS files, a crucial step in modern web development workflows. A direct comparison reveals no changes in fundamental dependencies like icss-utils, postcss, and related postcss-modules packages, ensuring continued compatibility and feature parity in handling CSS modules, imports, and value transformations. The peer dependencies, allowing you to use @rspack/core and webpack, remain the same too.
While the core functionality remains consistent, the updated version includes changes reflected in the "dist" section. Specifically, version 7.1.1 shows a slight increase in unpackedSize (140777 bytes) compared to 7.1.0 (140449 bytes). This suggests internal adjustments, potentially bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor code refactoring, rather than the introduction of new features. The subtle shift in file size indicates an optimization or refinement within the loader's internal structure. From a developer's usage standpoint, upgrading from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1 should present a smooth transition with no breaking changes anticipated, offering a potentially more stable or efficient CSS loading process. The releaseDate also show the newer version was released two days after the previous.
