- [Python] Build source distribution wheels that will compile on install when prebuilt variants are not available. The Rust compiler must be available.
- Drop unmatched closing tags instead of reinterpreting them as opening tags. This avoids the possibility of unintentionally creating a large deep tree due to malformed inputs where there are repeated unmatched closing tags (e.g. broken HTML template).
- Replace esbuild with [minify-js](https://github.com/wilsonzlin/minify-js) as the JS minifier, a fast minifier written from scratch in Rust. This alleviates many of the problems with integrating with esbuild, including interference with process signals by the Go runtime, compatibility issues with C libraries other than glibc, use of threading libraries without actually threading, inability to compile to rarer Rust targets, dependency on the Go compiler, maintaining a [fork of esbuild](https://github.com/wilsonzlin/esbuild-rs), unsafe FFI, and more. CSS minification is now done by [css-minify](https://github.com/Mnwa/css-minify).
- As minify-js is a relatively new library, any feedback, suggestions, and issues around JS minification is most welcome! Please report them to [the repo](https://github.com/wilsonzlin/minify-js).
- Use [Neon](https://neon-bindings.com/) for the Node.js library instead of custom hand-written N-API bindings in C. This simplifies the code and makes it safer and easier to extend. It also allows building from source if a prebuilt binary is not available (the Rust compiler must be installed).
- There is a slight API change: instead of calling `createConfiguration`, directly pass the JavaScript object to the `minify` function. The `minify` function also no longer takes a string.
- Thanks to the change to the fully-Rust [minify-js](https://github.com/wilsonzlin/minify-js), we can now add support for Deno and WebAssembly.
- Fix the Node.js library TypeScript definitions. `minifyJs` has been fixed to `minify_js` and `minifyCss` has been fixed to `minify_css`. This is not a breaking change the library itself only ever accepted the fixed names, so this is actually a typo fix.
- Implement a basic CLI script for Node.js to allow using the library from the command line e.g. quick testing or sandboxing without needing to download and install the CLI separately. It accepts all configuration properties (all of which are currently booleans) using hyphen case e.g. `--do-not-minify-doctype`, as well as `--output [path]` and one default (i.e. not after an option switch) argument for the path to the input. It's only a few lines long and should not have a tangible effect on library size.
- Intrepret `type=module` on `<script>` tags as a JavaScript MIME eligible for its contents to be minified as JavaScript (previously it would not be and so its contents would be considered data and never minified as JavaScript).
