Sass version 1.36.0 introduces subtle yet potentially impactful refinements compared to its predecessor, version 1.35.2. Both versions, pure JavaScript implementations of the popular Sass preprocessor, share the same core dependencies, relying on chokidar within the >=3.0.0 <4.0.0 range for file system watching capabilities. This dependency ensures efficient tracking of changes to Sass files, enabling seamless recompilation during development. The license remains MIT, and the project is hosted on GitHub under the sass/dart-sass repository, underscoring the project’s commitment to open-source principles. Natalie Weizenbaum continues to be credited as the author.
However, a few key differences stand out. The releaseDate for version 1.36.0 is July 23, 2021, while 1.35.2 was released on July 7, 2021, indicating a roughly two-week gap between the releases. The unpackedSize of the distribution differs slightly, with 1.36.0 weighing in at 4,154,821 bytes compared to 4,157,569 bytes for 1.35.2. This suggests some internal optimization or code reduction in the newer version. While the file count remains constant at 5, the slight reduction in unpacked size could translate to faster installation times and a smaller footprint on disk. Developers using Sass should consider upgrading to 1.36.0 to benefit from these potential performance improvements and any bug fixes or feature enhancements introduced in the newer release.
