Tailwind CSS released version 1.6.2 shortly after 1.6.1, both building upon its utility-first CSS framework designed for rapid UI development. Examining the package data, the core dependencies remain identical between the two versions. This indicates that the underlying CSS framework, its reliance on PostCSS, and integration with tools like Autoprefixer and PurgeCSS are consistent. Consequently, developers can expect familiar behavior and compatibility across both versions.
The key distinction lies in the "dist" section. Version 1.6.2 has a slightly larger unpackedSize (6349119 bytes) compared to 1.6.1 (6349080 bytes). While the fileCount is the same (170), suggesting the structure hasn't changed, the size difference hints at potentially minor bug fixes, performance improvements, or documentation updates contained within the files. The release date confirms a very quick turnaround between releases; 1.6.1 on August 2nd, 2020, and 1.6.2 on August 3rd, 2020. Developers upgrading from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 should anticipate a smooth transition, but might benefit from reviewing the changelog for any specific patch notes. The fast release cycle hints at resolving an immediately discovered issue, so upgrading is recommended for optimal stability and potentially minor enhancements.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.6.2 of the package
PostCSS line return parsing error
An issue was discovered in PostCSS before 8.4.31. It affects linters using PostCSS to parse external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). There may be \r discrepancies, as demonstrated by @font-face{ font:(\r/*);} in a rule.
This vulnerability affects linters using PostCSS to parse external untrusted CSS. An attacker can prepare CSS in such a way that it will contains parts parsed by PostCSS as a CSS comment. After processing by PostCSS, it will be included in the PostCSS output in CSS nodes (rules, properties) despite being originally included in a comment.
