Tailwind CSS has released version 4.0.13, a minor update from the previous stable version 4.0.12. Both versions cement Tailwind CSS's position as a utility-first CSS framework designed for rapid UI development. The core offering of declarative styling through utility classes remains consistent, empowering developers to build custom interfaces directly within their HTML.
The key changes lie in the updated devDependencies. Version 4.0.13 sees an upgrade to lightningcss from version 1.29.1 to 1.29.2 and @tailwindcss/oxide bumps from version 4.0.12 to 4.0.13. These updates suggest improvements in CSS parsing, optimization, or potentially bug fixes within the Lightning CSS engine, impacting the build process. The @tailwindcss/oxide update indicates it has been updated to the newest version which most likely brings improved performance related to the build process and compatibility with the upgraded lightningcss.
While the unpacked size in version 4.0.13 shrunk slightly (563843 bytes compared to 563844 bytes in 4.0.12), the file count remains the same. With both versions under the MIT license, ensuring free usage. For developers, the update promises potential benefits in terms of build speed and CSS processing efficiency, although the core utility-first approach to styling remains unchanged. Developers are advised to update to benefit from such potential improvements. The later release date (2025-03-11) of version 4.0.13 confirms it as the most current build.
