@babel/parser, a fundamental tool for JavaScript developers, saw a minor version update from 7.8.6 to 7.8.7 in early March 2020. Both versions share the same core description as a JavaScript parser and maintain consistent development dependencies, including charcodes, unicode-12.0.0, @babel/code-frame, and @babel/helper-fixtures, ensuring a stable development environment for those contributing to or utilizing the parser. License information and author details remains the same between releases.
The key difference lies in the size of the unpacked package and the release date. Version 7.8.7, released on March 5th, 2020, has an unpacked size of 1,770,613 bytes, a slight increase from version 7.8.6's 1,723,532 bytes, which was released on February 27th, 2020. This size difference indicates potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature additions within the parser. While the changelog from 7.8.6 -> 7.8.7 isn't provided, it's reasonable to assume this update addressed a specific parser issue or optimized existing functionalities. Developers using @babel/parser should consider upgrading to 7.8.7 to benefit from these improvements. You can review the changelogs in babel own site or github repository.
