Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators, a Babel plugin designed to compile class and object decorators to ES5, saw a minor version update from 7.1.2 to 7.1.6. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, including @babel/helper-plugin-utils, @babel/helper-replace-supers, @babel/plugin-syntax-decorators, and @babel/helper-split-export-declaration, ensuring consistent support for the decorators syntax. Similarly, the development dependencies @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner remain consistent, alongside the peer dependency on @babel/core.

The key difference between versions lies in their release dates and potentially minor bug fixes or internal improvements. Version 7.1.2 was released on September 28, 2018, while version 7.1.6 followed on November 13, 2018. While the API and core functionality remain unchanged, developers should opt for the newer 7.1.6 version to benefit from any bug fixes and stability improvements incorporated since the earlier release. The unpacked size increased slightly from 18811 to 18830, possibly indicating such subtle enhancements. For developers already using @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators, upgrading to 7.1.6 should be a straightforward process, ensuring they have the most up-to-date and reliable version of this decorator transpilation tool. Remember to always test your builds after upgrading dependencies.
