Version 7.13.0 of @babel/core introduces several updates compared to its predecessor, version 7.12.17, primarily concerning dependency versions. A key upgrade involves the Babel core components; @babel/types, @babel/parser, @babel/helpers, @babel/traverse, and @babel/generator all moving to version 7.13.0 bringing improvements and fixes within each respective module. Furthermore, @babel/helper-module-transforms and @babel/helper-compilation-targets are also updated to version 7.13.0. Semver moves from "^5.4.1" to "7.0.0".
Developers adopting version 7.13.0 will want to explore the enhanced features, bug fixes, and potential performance enhancements included in these updated core modules. Staying current on these dependencies helps ensure compatibility with the latest JavaScript syntax and proposals.
The difference in unpacked size (183936 vs 172431) and fileCount (58 vs 53) suggests code additions or structural changes that could subtly impact the overall efficiency or functionality of Babel transformations. Developers should be mindful of these changes, testing their configurations appropriately as they upgrade. Most importantly, it ensures you're benefiting from the most up-to-date transpilation features and performance optimizations.
