Tailwind CSS evolved from version 1.8.10 to 1.8.11, introducing subtle yet important improvements for developers focused on utility-first CSS. While the core functionality remained consistent, dependency updates and minor adjustments represent the changes between the releases. Examining the package.json files reveals neither additions nor removals of direct dependencies or dev dependencies. All dependencies and dev dependencies were the same between versions 1.8.10 and 1.8.11.
The most significant change is reflected in the dist object: the unpackedSize increased slightly from 19079038 bytes to 19079094 bytes. This indicates internal code refinements, bug fixes, or minor optimizations within the framework itself, although without specific changelog details, the exact nature remains unclear. Both versions include the same impressive array of tools, such as PostCSS, Autoprefixer, and PurgeCSS, ensuring compatibility with modern CSS workflows and optimized production builds.
For developers, staying updated to the latest patch version (1.8.11) is generally recommended to benefit from the most recent fixes and improvements, even if the specific changes are not explicitly documented. The upgrade process should be seamless, given the identical dependencies, making it a worthwhile step for maintaining a stable and performant Tailwind CSS integration. The update was released on "2020-10-06T18:35:44.422Z" after the "2020-09-14T13:14:01.954Z" release date of version 1.8.10.

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.
