Sass version 1.87.0 introduces subtle but noteworthy changes compared to its predecessor, version 1.86.3. Both versions maintain the core functionality of a pure JavaScript implementation of Sass, a powerful CSS preprocessor. Developers relying on Sass for streamlined stylesheet creation and maintenance will find familiar dependencies such as chokidar for file system watching, immutable for data structure handling, and source-map-js for debugging. The optional dependency @parcel/watcher remains consistent, offering potential performance benefits in specific development environments.
The key distinction lies in the increased unpacked size of v1.87.0, now 5,699,197 bytes compared to v1.86.3's 5,693,005 bytes. This increase, while relatively small, suggests potential enhancements or additions to the codebase, possibly bug fixes, performance optimizations, or new features that don't radically alter the existing API. While the changelog would offer definitive insight if available, developers may want to explore the updated version to assess the impact on their specific Sass workflows. Another thing that clearly differenciates them is the release date being almost 3 weeks appart with version 1.87.0 released nearly 3 weeks after version 1.86.3. In terms of adoption, both versions are licensed under MIT, ensuring flexibility in usage within various projects. Developers should always evaluate the changes in a non-production environment to ensure compatibility before upgrading mission-critical applications.
