Version 7.16.5 Details

The @babel/plugin-external-helpers package, designed to consolidate Babel's helper functions in generated code for efficiency, saw a minor update from version 7.16.0 to 7.16.5. Both versions share the same core functionality and description, focusing on preventing code duplication by centralizing frequently used helper functions. Developers using Babel leverage this plugin to streamline output and reduce overall bundle sizes, especially crucial in large projects.

The primary differences between the versions lie in their dependency updates. Version 7.16.5 upgrades @babel/helper-plugin-utils from ^7.14.5 to ^7.16.5, and both @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner devDependencies are bumped from 7.16.0 to 7.16.5. While the core functionality remains consistent, these updated dependencies likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within the associated helper utilities and testing framework. For developers, upgrading to 7.16.5 ensures access to the latest improvements and compatibility with newer Babel features and versions. The peerDependencies on @babel/core remain ^7.0.0-0 in both versions, signifying continued broad compatibility across Babel 7 versions. The unpacked size and file count remain identical, suggesting no significant changes to the plugin's structure or content.
