Tailwind CSS 1.9.3 represents a minor update over version 1.9.2, primarily focusing on internal improvements and bug fixes rather than introducing significant new features. Developers migrating from 1.9.2 can expect a seamless transition, as the core functionality and utility-first approach remain consistent. The dependencies field shows no difference, indicating no changes or updates to the libraries Tailwind CSS relies on for its core utilities and functionality. Similarly with devDependencies.
The most notable difference lies in the dist object. While both versions have the same fileCount of 204, they exhibit slightly different unpackedSize. Version 1.9.3 has an unpacked size of 21412324 bytes, while 1.9.2 is slightly larger at 21412985 bytes. This suggests internal optimizations, possibly related to code compression or removal of redundant assets, contributing to a marginally smaller footprint. Also, version 1.9.3's releaseDate is "2020-10-16T18:50:34.445Z" while 1.9.2's one is "2020-10-14T19:26:01.291Z" showing that version 1.9.3 was released two days after.
For developers, this means 1.9.3 offers a potentially more streamlined experience with minor performance gains related to the smaller size. While not a groundbreaking upgrade, staying up-to-date ensures access to the latest refinements and stability improvements, making it a worthwhile update for existing Tailwind CSS projects. Both versions preserve the rapid UI development workflow through composable utility classes.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.9.3 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.
