Tailwind CSS has released version 3.3.6, a minor update following the previous stable version 3.3.5. Both versions maintain the core functionality of the utility-first CSS framework, designed for rapid UI development. The core dependencies listed, including postcss, resolve, and chokidar, remain consistent, suggesting stability in the underlying architecture.
The key change between the versions is reflected in the dist object. Version 3.3.6 features a slightly larger unpacked size of 5,574,436 bytes compared to 3.3.5's 5,566,928 bytes and as release date the 2023-12-04 compared to the 2023-10-25. This indicates that the newer version includes some additional features, bug fixes, or optimizations that contribute to the increased size. Developers should note that while the file count remains the same at 275, the internal content has been modified.
For developers already using Tailwind CSS, upgrading to 3.3.6 is likely a low-risk endeavor and potentially advantageous. The shared dependencies and similar file count suggest minimal breaking changes are expected. The increased unpacked size hints at improvements or new functionalities that could enhance the development experience or the performance of the final application. Reviewing the official Tailwind CSS changelog for version 3.3.6 is recommended to understand the specific changes and leverage any new features or optimizations.
