Version 7.21.5 Details

@babel/helper-create-regexp-features-plugin is a crucial tool for developers targeting older JavaScript environments. It empowers you to seamlessly utilize cutting-edge regular expression features in your code while ensuring compatibility with ES5. Effectively, it bridges the gap between modern regex syntax and legacy JavaScript engines.

Looking at versions 7.21.4 and 7.21.5, the primary change lies in the introduction of a semver dependency in the later version. Version 7.21.5 introduces a dependency on semver "^6.3.0", where version 7.21.4 does not have this dependency. Both versions share core functionality, compiling ESNext regular expressions down to ES5-compatible equivalents, relying on regexpu-core for the bulk of the transformation work and @babel/helper-annotate-as-pure for optimization.

Developers should favor the newer 7.21.5 version due to its potential bug fixes or improvements related to version management (handled by the new semver dependency). Both versions require @babel/core as a peer dependency, ensuring alignment with your Babel setup. The devDependencies highlight the packages used for testing and development of the plugin itself. Note that the unpacked size of the plugin slighly decreased going from 7.21.4 to 7.21.5. If you are already using version 7.21.4, upgrading to 7.21.5 is highly recommended.
