Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Sass version 1.26.11 represents a minor update to the popular Dart Sass library, a pure JavaScript implementation of the Sass stylesheet language. Comparing it to the previous stable version, 1.26.10, several points stand out for developers considering an upgrade. Both versions share identical dependencies; relying on chokidar within the range of version 2.0.0 up to, but not including, version 4.0.0 for file system watching capabilities. They also maintain the same MIT license and link to the same Git repository and author information.

However, the core difference lies in the updated distribution metadata. Version 1.26.11 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 3,932,685 bytes compared to 1.26.10's 3,885,140 bytes. This suggests internal changes, potentially including bug fixes, and performance improvements, or perhaps new features without altering the API. The release date tells the story of a newer version, with 1.26.11 built and deployed on September 18, 2020, significantly later than version 1.26.10 back in July 6, 2020. While a seemingly small increment, this update reflects ongoing maintenance and improvements to the Sass compiler. Developers should likely upgrade to benefit from the latest refinements and patches, especially if encountering issues with the older version. However, due to the shared dependencies and the minor version bump, the transition should be smooth and without breaking changes.
