Description

https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS3/blob/master/compiled/js/timeline-min.js used to be a minified version of https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS3/blob/master/compiled/js/timeline.js.
Now, it is not a minified version of timeline.js anymore and is instead identical to timeline.js.

Sorry, it appears I was mistaken. Although timeline-min.js and timeline.js are identical, they appear to be minified. However, timeline-min.js now contains comments, which it didn't do before, and it makes it ~70KB bigger than before.

Research direction

Compare compiled/js/timeline-min.js with compiled/js/timeline.js, as linked in the issue, and inspect how the minified artifact is produced. Done means timeline-min.js remains minified, no longer includes the reported comments, and is appropriately smaller than timeline.js.
