Style-loader, a crucial webpack module for injecting CSS into your application, saw a notable update from version 0.13.2 to 0.14.0. While both versions share the same core functionality and maintain dependencies on loader-utils at version ^1.0.2, the newer version introduces several key changes that impact the development workflow. The most significant differences lie in the devDependencies. Version 0.14.0 embraces a more modern testing and development environment. It upgrades the css-loader dependency to version ^0.27.3 and adds file-loader (^0.10.1), jsdom (^9.11.0), memory-fs (^0.4.1) to the dev dependencies. Furthermore, it incorporates mocha (^3.2.0) for unit testing and standard-version (^4.0.0) for automated versioning and changelog generation. Version 0.13.2 was using an older css-loader version (~0.8.0) and not using the other listed dev dependencies.
Therefore, developers upgrading to style-loader 0.14.0 gain access to improved CSS loading capabilities and benefit from a streamlined development process with enhanced testing and version management which enables them to efficiently manage and deliver cleaner code. The releaseDate also gives an idea about the recency of both versions, being 0.14.0 released on March 2017 and 0.13.2 in February 2017.
