Rollup Plugin Esbuild has a new version 4.7.0, released shortly after version 4.6.1. Both versions encourage sponsoring the author for full-time open-source maintenance. Examining the package metadata, the core dependencies remain identical between the two releases, including joycon, jsonc-parser, and @rollup/pluginutils. The devDependencies also show no changes, with tools like jest, rollup, esbuild, ts-jest, ts-node, prettier, typescript, and their respective type definitions staying at the same versions. The required peer dependencies for rollup and esbuild are also consistent, ensuring compatibility with existing projects.
The most notable difference is the unpackedSize of the package, which has increased slightly from 14906 bytes in version 4.6.1 to 15673 bytes in version 4.7.0. This suggests that while the dependencies haven't changed, there are likely minor code updates, bug fixes, or enhancements within the plugin itself that contribute to the increased size. The release date also marks the difference, with v4.7.0 being released approximately an hour after v4.6.1. Developers considering an upgrade should examine the changelog (typically available on the package's GitHub repository) for precise details on these internal changes to determine if the update addresses specific issues or offers relevant improvements for their build process.
