@babel/plugin-proposal-import-defer, a Babel plugin enabling the use of import defer which improves CommonJS compatibility, has two notable versions. The newer version, 7.27.1, released on April 30, 2025, builds upon the solid foundation of version 7.25.9, released October 22, 2024. Both versions share the same core functionality: transforming import defer statements into compatible CommonJS code, a crucial step for developers targeting environments that don't natively support modern ES modules, and feature identical unpacked sizes of 14196 bytes.
The key difference lies in the updated dependency versions. Version 7.27.1 depends on @babel/helper-plugin-utils and @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs at version 7.27.1, while version 7.25.9 utilizes version 7.25.9 of the same packages. Similarly, the devDependencies @babel/core and @babel/helper-plugin-test-runner were bumped to 7.27.1. These dependency updates likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within the core Babel ecosystem. For developers, this means upgrading to 7.27.1 ensures compatibility with the latest Babel features and potentially benefits from enhanced stability and performance offered by the updated Babel dependencies. Both versions maintain a peer dependency on @babel/core at ^7.0.0-0, ensuring broad compatibility with Babel 7.
