Sass version 1.37.0 represents a minor update over its predecessor, 1.36.0, in the ongoing evolution of this popular CSS preprocessor implemented in pure JavaScript. While the core functionality described as "A pure JavaScript implementation of Sass" remains consistent, several subtle differences are worth noting for developers relying on this library.
Both versions share identical dependencies, relying on chokidar within the ">=3.0.0 <4.0.0" range for file watching capabilities, crucial for automated compilation during development. The licensing (MIT), repository location (GitHub), and author information remain unchanged, indicating continuity in project governance and maintenance.
The notable changes lie in the dist section and releaseDate. The updated version, 1.37.0, was released on "2021-07-30T23:52:23.434Z", a week later than 1.36.0 ("2021-07-23T21:24:19.133Z"). Counterintuitively, the "unpackedSize" is marginally smaller in version 1.37.0 (4154799) compared to 1.36.0 (4154821), despite the fileCount staying constant at 5. This usually signals minor optimizations or bug fixes. Developers should anticipate slight performance improvements or resolutions to edge-case issues that might have been present in 1.36.0. While patch notes are required to know details on specific improvements, upgrading from v1.36.0 to v1.37.0 should a relatively seamless experience.
