Mini-css-extract-plugin is a Webpack plugin that extracts CSS into separate files. This plugin creates a CSS file per JS file which contains CSS. It supports On-Demand-Loading of CSS and SourceMaps. Comparing versions 1.4.0 and 1.4.1, developers will find that the core dependencies and peer dependencies remain consistent. Both versions rely on loader-utils, schema-utils, and webpack-sources for core functionality, and they both specify webpack versions 4.4.0 or 5.0.0 and above as peer dependencies, indicating no breaking changes in terms of webpack compatibility.
The devDependencies are substantially the same, which suggests that the development and testing environment and tools didn't change much between the two versions.
The key difference between these versions lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize. While both versions contain 12 files, version 1.4.1 has a slightly larger unpacked size(104790) compared to version 1.4.0 (104260). This indicates minor changes or bug fixes introduced in version 1.4.1, likely addressing small issues or optimizations without altering the core API or functionality. Developers may want to upgrade to version 1.4.1 for the incremental improvements and fixes it provides over 1.4.0. The release dates also highlight the recency of 1.4.1, suggesting it incorporates the latest refinements.
