Mini CSS Extract Plugin enables webpack to extract CSS into separate files, improving website performance by enabling parallel loading of CSS and JavaScript. Comparing versions 1.5.0 and 1.5.1, the core functionality remains consistent, focusing on efficiently separating CSS from your JavaScript bundles. Both versions share identical dependencies like loader-utils, schema-utils, and webpack-sources, ensuring compatibility with related tools. Similarly, their development dependencies, including testing frameworks like jest and linting tools like eslint, are the same, suggesting a consistent development and maintenance process. The peer dependency on webpack versions 4.4.0 or 5.0.0 remains unchanged, maintaining broad compatibility.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize, which increases from 108100 in 1.5.0 to 108830 in 1.5.1. This slight increase of 730 can indicate bug fixes, minor feature enhancements, or documentation updates. Developers considering upgrading should likely do so, as patch releases often include important fixes. The release date also distinguishes the versions: 1.5.0 was released on April 17, 2021, while 1.5.1 followed on April 28, 2021. For users, this means version 1.5.1 is the newer, potentially more stable option.
