The @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators package, a crucial tool for transpiling class and object decorators to ES5, saw a minor update from version 7.13.0 to 7.13.5. While seemingly small, these incremental changes can be important for developers relying on this plugin for their projects. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including @babel/helper-plugin-utils, @babel/plugin-syntax-decorators, and @babel/helper-create-class-features-plugin, ensuring consistent functionality in terms of core decorator transformation. Similarly, the peer dependency on @babel/core remains at "^7.0.0-0", indicating ongoing compatibility with a broad range of Babel core versions.
The key difference lies within the devDependencies. Version 7.13.5 upgraded @babel/core to "7.13.1," and babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims to version "^0.1.2" whereas 7.13.0 used "@babel/core":"7.13.0" and "babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims":"^0.1.1". These updates likely address bug fixes, performance improvements, or enhanced compatibility within the Babel ecosystem, primarily impacting the development and testing environment of the plugin itself. For developers using the plugin, these underlying improvements translate to a more stable and reliable decorator transformation process. More specifically, babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims upgrades might lead to a better polyfilling strategy of newer features if used through the plugin. The update occurred on February 23, 2021, a single day after the previous release. Despite the similar file size and unpacked size, updating ensures you have the latest fixes and potential performance enhancements.
