Less-loader is a webpack loader that empowers developers to seamlessly compile Less stylesheets into CSS within their webpack builds. Versions 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 share the same core functionality and dependencies with pify, clone, and loader-utils for asynchronous operations, object cloning, and webpack's utility functions for loaders, respectively. Both versions support Less version ^2.3.1 and webpack version ^2.2.0 as peer dependencies, ensuring compatibility with existing projects using these tools. The key differences lie in the development dependencies, specifically in the versions of testing and linting libraries. Version 4.0.4 upgrades jest from 19.0.2 to 20.0.3 and webpack-defaults from 0.4.5 to ^1.0.1. While these changes don't directly affect the loader's core functionality or API, they reflect improvements in the testing and development environment, potentially leading to more robust and well-tested code. Developers should consider version 4.0.4 a refinement over 4.0.3, offering a more up-to-date development experience that contributes to the overall stability and reliability of the less-loader. Both versions, however, deliver the essential capability to integrate Less compilation into webpack workflows, simplifying CSS management and asset processing for web applications.
