Version 7.24.6 of @babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind introduces updated dependencies, notably requiring @babel/helper-plugin-utils version ^7.24.6 compared to ^7.24.0 in version 7.24.1. Similarly, the devDependencies @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner are bumped to ^7.24.6 from ^7.24.1. Critically, @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind is also updated from version 7.24.1 to 7.24.6. This suggests an effort to synchronize core packages and potentially leverage new features or bug fixes within those dependencies.
For developers using this plugin to enable the function bind operator in ES5-compatible code, these dependency updates likely provide improved stability and compatibility with the latest Babel toolchain. The substantial difference in unpacked size -- 76408 bytes in 7.24.6 versus 10242 bytes in 7.24.1 -- could indicate added test cases, more comprehensive implementations, or changes in how the package is structured. This expanded size implies that the latter version might contain significant internal modifications. Furthermore, the release date difference, with 7.24.6 being released nearly two months after 7.24.1, suggests a period of development and refinement, potentially incorporating community feedback or addressing identified issues. Therefore, upgrading to 7.24.6 is recommended to benefit from the latest enhancements and bug fixes within the Babel ecosystem related to function binding support.
