Rollup, a next-generation ES module bundler, has recently released version 4.26.0, succeeding the 4.25.0 stable release. Both versions share the same core description and dependencies like @types/estree, indicating consistent support for ES module bundling and underlying type definitions. The devDependencies sections are also broadly similar, reflecting a stable development environment with tools like eslint, typescript, prettier, and various testing frameworks.
A noteworthy shift lies within the optionalDependencies. While both versions list fsevents and a comprehensive set of @rollup/rollup-* platform-specific binaries, the crucial distinction resides in the version numbers of these binaries. Version 4.26.0 utilizes @rollup/rollup-* binaries at version 4.26.0, while version 4.25.0 uses 4.25.0 binaries. This indicates that the v4.26.0 release likely includes platform-specific optimizations or bug fixes within the core Rollup binary itself for each respective operating system architecture. This is important as this usually means enhanced performance or addressing edge cases on specific platforms. Furthermore, version 4.26.0 was released on November 13th, 2024, approximately four days after version 4.25.0's release on November 9th, 2024. This short interval suggests that the latest release may contain critical fixes identified shortly after the previous stable version. For developers using Rollup in platform-sensitive environments, upgrading to 4.26.0 is highly recommended to benefit from the latest platform-specific improvements and potential bug fixes. The slight increase of the unpackedSize from 2596505 to 2601335 bytes further reinforces the notion of internal adjustments and refinements.
