Version 7.18.6 Details

The @babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind package, a Babel plugin responsible for transforming the function bind operator (::) into ES5-compatible code, saw a version bump from 7.16.7 to 7.18.6. While both versions share the same core functionality of compiling the function bind operator and maintain identical licensing (MIT), repository location, and author attribution to the Babel Team, key distinctions lie in their dependencies, development dependencies, and release dates.

Version 7.18.6 depends on and includes the @babel/helper-plugin-utils and @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind packages, both at version 7.18.6. Similary, the development dependencies @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner are also updated to 7.18.6. This indicates a synchronization with other Babel packages within the ecosystem, likely incorporating bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features present in those core libraries. In contrast, version 7.16.7 relies on older 7.16.7 versions of these dependencies. The peer dependency @babel/core remains consistent across both versions, requiring a minimum version of 7.0.0-0.

The release dates mark a clear separation in time, with 7.18.6 published on June 27, 2022, and 7.16.7 released on December 31, 2021. This six-month gap contains potential improvements and features. Also, the unpacked size of the newer version is slightly bigger, pointing out some internal changes, which can hint at improved performance. Developers should generally prefer the newer 7.18.6 for its potentially enhanced stability stemming of synchronized dependencies and for benefiting from enhancements made to the Babel core and associated testing utilities.
