Mini-css-extract-plugin is a Webpack plugin designed to extract CSS into separate files, creating optimized stylesheets for improved website performance. Version 1.2.0 and 1.1.2 share the identical core dependencies, including loader-utils, schema-utils, and webpack-sources, indicating stability in the fundamental functionalities of the plugin. The peer dependency on Webpack remains consistent at "^4.4.0 || ^5.0.0", ensuring compatibility with a broad range of Webpack versions, both v4 and v5. The packages also share the same devDependencies with tools like eslint, prettier, @babel/*, jest and more used to develop and test the plugin.
However, a key difference lies in the release date. Version 1.2.0 was released on October 23, 2020, about a day after version 1.1.2, released on October 22, 2020, this suggests the existence of at least one bug fix or a new feature which motivated the creation of a new release. While the dependencies and devDependencies remain the same, the bumped version suggests internal modifications, improvements, or resolutions of potential issues. Another subtle distinction appears in the dist data of the two versions, with version 1.2.0 reporting an unpacked size of 90659 bytes, slightly larger than the 89596 of version 1.1.2, supporting the premise of modifications. Developers should upgrade to ensure they leverage the latest improvements, bug fixes, and potentially enhanced performance characteristics present in version 1.2.0.
