Tailwind CSS 1.9.0 brings incremental improvements over version 1.8.13, offering developers a refined experience in utility-first CSS. Both versions share the same core dependencies like postcss, lodash, and autoprefixer, ensuring a consistent foundation for styling. Examining devDependencies, both versions rely on crucial tools like jest for testing, eslint for code linting, and Babel for JavaScript transpilation, highlighting a commitment to code quality and modern development practices.
A key difference lies in the dist object. Tailwind CSS 1.9.0 boasts a slightly larger file count (202 vs 199) and a notably larger unpacked size (21398075 bytes vs 19080971 bytes), suggesting expanded features, assets, or refinements in the core library. This increase should be considered if bundle size is critical.
The release dates also show a clear progression, with version 1.9.0 being released shortly after 1.8.13. Developers should investigate release notes and changelogs between these versions to determine the nature for these changes, paying close attention to breaking changes, bug fix or new features impacting their projects. While both versions provide powerful utility-first CSS capabilities, users should update to the latest version to benefit from potential performance improvements and bug fixes to experience the advantages of an actively maintained library.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.9.0 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.
