PostCSS Normalize URL, a valuable tool for web developers using PostCSS, has released version 7.0.0, building upon the solid foundation of version 6.0.2. Both versions share a core purpose: normalizing URLs within CSS stylesheets, ensuring consistency and potentially improving performance. They rely on postcss-value-parser for robust URL parsing. Notably, both versions are licensed under the MIT license, offering flexibility in usage, and are maintained as part of the cssnano project.
However, key differences exist. The most apparent is the update to the postcss dev dependency, shifting from version 8.4.35 in 6.0.2 to 8.4.38 in 7.0.0. While the peer dependency remains compatible with postcss: ^8.4.31, developers using the latest PostCSS version will benefit from the updated dev dependency, potentially including bug fixes and performance improvements within the PostCSS ecosystem itself. This highlights an incremental upgrade with potential, subtle enhancements under the hood. The slight increase in unpacked size, from 11078 to 11083, might indicate minor code changes or updated dependencies, though this difference is minimal. Finally, version 7.0.0 was released more recently (April 24, 2024) than version 6.0.2 (March 6, 2024), making it the latest stable release with integrated recent improvements and bug fixes. Developers should upgrade to version 7.0.0 to leverage these benefits.
