Tailwind CSS witnessed a minor version bump from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2, both iterations maintaining the core description as a utility-first CSS framework designed for rapid UI development. Examining the package metadata reveals subtle differences that, while potentially impactful, are not immediately evident from dependencies or devDependencies listings. Both versions share identical dependency and development dependency requirements, ensuring a consistent set of tools and libraries for developers leveraging Tailwind CSS.
The intriguing shift lies in the "dist" section. Version 1.7.2 presents a slight increase in the file count (186 vs. 185) and unpacked size (14874664 bytes vs. 14874468 bytes) compared to version 1.7.1. This suggests that the newer version incorporates minor code adjustments, bug fixes, or documentation enhancements within the distribution package. For developers, while the core functionality and API remain consistent between the two versions, the upgraded version might introduce refined performance, stability, or clarity.
The release dates also pinpoint a tight release window; 1.7.2 released roughly 14 hours after 1.7.1. Considering this and the minor adjustments between the versions, upgrading to 1.7.2 is recommended, assuming it addresses any immediate issues discovered in 1.7.1. The MIT license and repository URL remain unchanged, reaffirming the project's open-source nature and location.

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.
