Styled-components is a popular library for React developers, offering a way to write CSS-in-JS. Versions 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 share the same core purpose: allowing you to style React components with the power of CSS and the advantages of JavaScript. They both rely on dependencies like fbjs, buffer, stylis, and react-is to handle fundamental tasks such as CSS parsing and React compatibility. Both versions specify React as a peer dependency, supporting versions 0.14.0 up to, but not including, version 17.0.0.
A key difference lies within their distribution packages. Version 3.4.3 is significantly smaller, containing 304 files and unpacking to 3,030,893 bytes, compared to version 3.4.2 with 384 files and an unpacked size of 3,304,218 bytes. This reduction in size of the newer version can lead to faster download and installation times for developers incorporating styled-components into their projects. While the specific changes that led to this more streamlined package aren't explicitly detailed, it suggests potential improvements in build processes or the removal of unnecessary assets. Also there is a time difference in release dates. Version 3.4.2 was released on August 7, 2018, where as version 3.4.3 was released on August 21, 2018. This shows that there was a bug fix release.
