Mini-css-extract-plugin is a Webpack plugin that extracts CSS into separate files, creating cleaner and more manageable stylesheets for web applications. Version 0.4.2 builds upon the previous stable version, 0.4.1, with a key change in its dependencies. While both versions share the core dependencies loader-utils and webpack-sources, version 0.4.2 upgrades the schema-utils dependency to version "^1.0.0" from "@webpack-contrib/schema-utils":"^1.0.0-beta.0". This upgrade reflects a move towards a stable and potentially enhanced schema validation process which can improve the configuration options validation.
Both versions share a robust suite of developer dependencies, including testing frameworks like jest, linting tools like eslint, and build tools like webpack and babel. The peer dependency webpack remains at "^4.4.0", ensuring compatibility with Webpack 4 projects. Developers looking to integrate this plugin into their projects should examine the changelog specific for schema-utils "^1.0.0" to understand the full impact of this improvement, because it can improve config validations and developer experience. Choosing between versions depends on project stability requirements and how critical are the schema validations for your projects.
