@babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind, a Babel plugin responsible for transforming the function bind operator (::) into ES5-compatible code, saw a release of version 7.16.5 following the previous stable version 7.16.0. While both versions share the core functionality of enabling the function bind operator, a few key differences exist, primarily in their dependencies. Version 7.16.5 updates its dependencies, notably bumping @babel/helper-plugin-utils to version ^7.16.5 from ^7.14.5 in the older version. The @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind dependency remains compatible with version 7.16.0 in the newer version. Both versions have identical devDependencies and peerDependencies.
Developers using this plugin should be aware of the updated @babel/helper-plugin-utils package, as it might include bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features that improve transpilation. Upgrading ensures you are using the latest utilities for Babel plugin development, potentially leading to better compatibility and stability within your Babel pipeline. The core functionality of compiling the function bind operator remains consistent, allowing developers to confidently use the plugin to leverage this ECMAScript proposal in their projects while maintaining broader compatibility with older JavaScript environments. The release date difference shows that 7.16.5 is a more recent release.
