Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Mini-css-extract-plugin experienced a version update moving from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1, offering subtle yet potentially impactful changes for developers using this tool to extract CSS into separate files within their webpack builds. While both versions share the same core dependencies like loader-utils, schema-utils, and webpack-sources, the development dependencies reflect an evolution in the tooling ecosystem. Version 1.6.1 showcases updates in key developer dependencies such as jest updated to version 27.0.4, eslint to 7.28.0, @babel/cli to 7.14.5, babel-jest to 27.0.2, css-loader to 5.2.6, @babel/core to 7.14.6, webpack-cli to 4.7.2, @commitlint/cli to 12.1.4, webpack-dev-server to 3.11.2, eslint-plugin-import to 2.23.4. These dependency upgrades likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features from their respective projects, indirectly benefiting the plugin's development workflow and testing environment. Developers updating to version 1.6.1 can thus expect a more modern and potentially stable development experience, leveraging the latest advancements in testing, linting, and build tools. Furthermore, a noteworthy difference is the slightly smaller unpacked size of version 1.6.1 (89813 bytes) compared to 1.6.0 (109733 bytes), suggesting some code optimization or reduction in assets. Importantly, the peer dependency on webpack remains consistent across both versions, supporting webpack versions 4.4.0 and 5.0.0 upwards.
