Sass-loader has a new stable version 13.3.0 released on May 22, 2023, following the previous stable version 13.2.2 released on March 27, 2023. While both versions maintain the core function of providing Sass loading capabilities for webpack, several dependency updates and internal tweaks are present that could be of interest to developers.
The key changes lie within the devDependencies. Notably, sass is upgraded from version 1.58.0 to 1.62.1 and sass-embedded from 1.57.1 to 1.62.0, pulling in the latest features and potential bug fixes from these core Sass implementations. Webpack is updated from v5.76.3 to v5.81.0 that probably brings performance and better compatibility. Several other development dependencies have been bumped to newer versions including: @babel/cli, @babel/core, @commitlint/cli, eslint, memfs, prettier, semver enhanced-resolve. While those upgrades aren't directly affecting the production code, they provide an improved development experience and tooling, ensuring better code quality and maintainability.
While the main dependencies and peerDependencies remain consistent, highlighting stability in the core API, the upgraded devDependencies suggest improvements in build processes, testing frameworks (Jest), and linting rules. These updates contribute to a more robust and future-proof loader for integrating Sass into modern web development workflows.
