Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

The @babel/plugin-proposal-export-default-from package, designed to compile export default from syntax to ES2015 compatible code, has two notable versions: 7.22.5 and 7.22.17. Both versions share the same core functionality, dependencies on @babel/helper-plugin-utils and @babel/plugin-syntax-export-default-from, and similar development dependencies like @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner. They are both licensed under MIT and maintained by The Babel Team. Crucially, they both require a peer dependency of @babel/core version ^7.0.0-0 or higher, ensuring compatibility with the Babel core compiler.

The primary difference lies in their release dates and potentially bug fixes or minor improvements bundled within. Version 7.22.5 was released on June 8th, 2023, while version 7.22.17 was released approximately three months later, on September 8th, 2023. This later version likely incorporates any stability refinements or edge-case handling improvements identified and addressed since the earlier release. A slight difference can also be noticed in the unpacked size, with the newer version being slightly smaller (6253 bytes compared to 6650 bytes).

For developers integrating this plugin, the recommendation is generally to use the latest stable version (7.22.17 in this case), benefiting from the most up-to-date bug fixes and any potential performance enhancements. While the core API and functionality remain consistent, newer versions offer a more robust and refined experience. Always ensure your @babel/core dependency meets the peer dependency requirement.
