Autoprefixer 7.0 uses PostCSS 6.0, Browserslist 2.0 and caniuse-lite.

Browserslist 2.0

Browserslist 2.0 and caniuse-lite by @ben-eb are the main changes in Autoprefixer 7.0. We wrote an article about these changes:

> Autoprefixer 7.0 and Browserslist 2.0

Breaking Changes

Node.js stopped 0.12 support in January 01. So PostCSS dropped Node.js 0.12 from all tests. Please update your Node.js version to 4.0 or 7.0.

IE has very basic support of Grid Layout. So Autoprefixer added -ms- prefixes and change property syntax. Unfortunately, IE supports a really small subset of Grid Layout. So prefixes were not really useful. This is why we disabled Grid Layout prefixes by default. But you still can enable it:

autoprefixer({ grid: true })

Babel

Autoprefixer was one of the biggest CoffeeScript projects. We thought to rewrite it, but reasons were small, and work was big. But @Semigradsky used great decaffeinate tool for automatically CoffeeScript → ES6 converting, and now all Autoprefixer sources are written in JS.

PostCSS 6.0

New PostCSS uses stream parser and uses less memory. Also, it uses less space in node_modules.

Other Changes

  • Use ^ for Browserslist dependencies, instead of ~.
  • Fix -ms-grid-column-align.
  • Move tests to Jest.
