Tailwind CSS version 1.9.6 is a minor update to the utility-first CSS framework, succeeding version 1.9.5. Both versions share the same core functionality, providing developers with a performant and customizable system for rapidly building user interfaces. The described dependencies and devDependencies are identical, indicating that the fundamental toolkit used for development and testing remains consistent in both releases. While the fileCount in the distribution package is the same at 204, a slight difference exists in the unpackedSize. Version 1.9.6 has an unpacked size of 21414120 bytes, negligibly larger than version 1.9.5 at 21413703 bytes. This potentially signals minor adjustments to code, documentation, or assets within the package, but is unlikely to affect the existing interfaces.
The most developer-relevant change is the release date, with version 1.9.6 being released on '2020-10-23', four days after the v1.9.5 release date of '2020-10-19'. This short interval suggests that v1.9.6 likely contains bug fixes or minor improvements addressing issues found in v1.9.5. Developers already using version 1.9.5 should consider upgrading to v1.9.6 to benefit from these potential quick resolutions and benefit from the newest enhancements to ensure they are working with the most stable release. Before upgrading, reviewing the Tailwind CSS changelog or release notes is recommended to understand the specific changes.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.9.6 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.
