Mini-css-extract-plugin is a vital Webpack plugin that extracts CSS into separate files, optimizing website loading times by enabling parallel downloading of CSS resources. Versions 2.4.6 and 2.4.7 share the same core functionality and most of their dependencies, making the upgrade relatively seamless for developers. Both versions rely on webpack 5 and support a wide range of tools including Sass, Babel, ESLint, and Prettier, ensuring compatibility within modern development workflows. They also provide a rock solid configuration through schema-utils.
The key difference between the two versions lies in the release date and potentially some minor internal fixes. Version 2.4.7 was released on January 13, 2022, one week after version 2.4.6. This suggests that 2.4.7 likely contains bug fixes or minor improvements implemented since the previous release. While the metadata doesn't explicitly list specific fixes, developers should consider upgrading to the latest version, 2.4.7, to benefit from the most up-to-date and stable codebase. Furthermore the unpacked size has increased from 91008 bytes to 91072 bytes an insiginificant 64 bytes change that could indicate a tiny bug fix or other maintenance improvements. For most developers, upgrading is a safe and recommended practice to ensure optimal performance and stability within their Webpack-based projects.
