Tailwind CSS version 1.9.1 represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 1.9.0, focusing on subtle refinements and bug fixes rather than groundbreaking new features. Developers familiar with 1.9.0 will find the transition seamless, as the core utility-first approach remains consistent. The dependency list for both versions is identical, spanning essential tools like PostCSS, Autoprefixer, and Lodash. Development dependencies also mirror each other, indicating a consistent tooling and testing environment between releases, leveraging Jest, ESLint, and Prettier.
The key differences lie in the distribution metadata. Version 1.9.1 exhibits a slightly larger unpacked size (21411001 bytes compared to 21398075 bytes) and a higher file count (204 files vs. 202 files), suggesting minor additions or adjustments to the codebase. The release date also highlights the recency of 1.9.1, released on October 13, 2020, a day after 1.9.0.
For developers, upgrading to 1.9.1 offers enhanced stability and potentially optimized performance due to these subtle refinements. While the change isn't revolutionary, keeping up-to-date ensures access to the most polished and reliable iteration of the framework. The consistent dependency structure means no compatibility concerns should arise during the upgrade process, making it a worthwhile consideration for Tailwind CSS users.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.9.1 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.
