Rollup Plugin Visualizer, a valuable tool for optimizing your Rollup bundles, has seen a minor update from version 5.5.4 to 5.6.0. Both versions maintain the same core dependencies including "open", "yargs", "nanoid", and "source-map", suggesting a focus on consistent functionality for core tasks like bundle analysis and visualization. The peer dependency of "rollup" remains at "^2.0.0", ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Rollup versions.
Examining the development dependencies, crucial for the development and testing of the plugin itself, reveals negligible changes. All listed dev dependencies are identical in specified module and version between both versions, which means that the update don't involve any changes related to how styles are handled ("sass", "postcss"), code quality ("eslint", "prettier"), React integration ("preact", "eslint-plugin-react", "eslint-plugin-react-hooks"), Rollup plugins for specific tasks ("rollup-plugin-terser", "rollup-plugin-postcss", "@rollup/plugin-commonjs", "@rollup/plugin-typescript", "@rollup/plugin-node-resolve") or TypeScript-related tooling ("typescript", "@typescript-eslint/parser", "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin").
From a developer's perspective upgrading from 5.5.4 to 5.6.0, it looks like the changes are minimal, internal,and do not likely introduce any breaking behaviors or new features. While the identical dependencies suggest a maintenance release focused on internal improvements, it's always recommended to test the new version in your specific workflow. Check the official changelog for a comprehensive list of changes, including any bug fixes or performance enhancements that may not be apparent from the dependency lists. For developers, this usually represents a safe and recommended upgrade if internal bugs were fixed.
