Sass-loader 8.0.1 represents a minor update over version 8.0.0, primarily focusing on dependency upgrades and refinements. Key changes for developers revolve around the updated versions of libraries used within the loader's ecosystem. For instance, semver sees a bump from ^6.3.0 to ^7.1.1, potentially affecting version comparison logic. A notable change in development dependencies includes husky moving from ^3.0.4 to ^4.0.6, indicating updates to git hook management.
Furthermore, significant upgrades are observed in tools like eslint (from ^6.2.2 to ^6.8.0) and related plugins introducing newer linting rules. webpack advances from ^4.39.3 to ^4.41.5, likely incorporating bug fixes and minor feature enhancements. Also schema-utils changed from ^2.1.0 to ^2.6.1. A critical distinction lies in the peer dependencies, where version 8.0.1 introduces support for webpack version 5 (^5.0.0), broadening compatibility for users adopting the latest webpack release. In contrast, 8.0.0 only mentioned support for webpack 4. Several other development dependencies also received updates, pointing to an ongoing effort to maintain the tool's compatibility and stability within the evolving JavaScript ecosystem. This indicates that version 8.0.1 is for new webpack users as much as for older versions.
