The @babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind package, designed to compile the function bind operator to ES5, saw a version update from 7.12.13 to 7.14.5. Both versions maintain the same core functionality and licensing under MIT. The principal changes between these versions lie within the dependency updates.
Specifically, both @babel/helper-plugin-utils and @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind dependencies are updated to their respective versions, mirroring the package version. The devDependencies, particularly the @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner are also updated in similar fashion. These updates likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and ensure compatibility with other Babel packages. The unpacked size of the package decreased slightly in the newer version from 4566 to 4539, maybe due to code optmization or better bundling.
For developers using @babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind, these incremental updates are important for maintaining a stable and up-to-date build pipeline. While the core functionality remains consistent, upgrading ensures that the function bind operator is compiled correctly with the latest Babel core features and that the tests and utilities related to the plugin work seamlessly. Developers should always check the related changelogs for any major functionality changes. The release dates indicate that version 7.14.5 was launched months after 7.12.13, incorporating accumulated improvements and refinements. This ensures you're working with the most robust and optimized version of the plugin available within the Babel ecosystem.
