· One min read

We have released a new major version of cssnano.

Major changes in cssnano 5​

  • cssnano 5 requires Node.js >= 10.13
  • PostCSS 8 API, so cssnano 5 does not emit warnings when running under PostCSS 8
  • updates to SVGO 2, fixing many SVG minification bugs
  • updates css-value-parser and css-selector-parser, fixing many bugs

How to Upgrade​

Update the PostCSS dependency​

Add postcss to your package.json dependencies field, if your package manager does not install peer dependencies automatically.

JavaScript API changes​

If you use the cssnano JavaScript API, change your code:

  • replace cssnano.process() with cssnano().process() (notice the () after cssnano)

  • pass cssnano options to cssnano() instead of process()

cssnano(cssnanoOptions).process(postcssOptions)
