Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Both versions share the same crucial tooling, which includes Rollup and Typescript for bundling and code quality, together with vitest and playwright for testing, essential for maintaining codebase integrity. Key runtime dependencies such as acorn, magic-string, and @jridgewell/sourcemap-codec also remain consistent, suggesting a focus on maintaining existing functionality and stability. The file count for both versions in the distributed package is 376, suggesting similar content in both versions. However, what sets them apart is the unpackedSize of the package where version 5.8.1 has a size of 2391620 higher than 5.8.0 reporting 2390677, implying possible internal changes or optimizations that contributed to the differences. The newer version releaseDate is also slightly later. Developers should prioritize 5.8.1 for potential subtle bug fixes and improvements, though the changes are likely incremental.
