Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs version 7.1.0 introduces several updates compared to its predecessor, version 7.0.0, primarily affecting the dependencies used internally by the plugin. While the core functionality of transforming ES2015 modules to CommonJS remains the same, developers should be aware of the upgraded helper packages. Specifically, @babel/helper-simple-access and @babel/helper-module-transforms have been updated from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0. This indicates improvements or bug fixes within these helper modules that directly impact how the module transformation is handled.

For developers integrating this plugin into their Babel configuration, this generally signifies a smoother experience with potentially fewer edge cases encountered during module conversion. Ensure your project's @babel/core peer dependency remains compatible (^7.0.0-0) to avoid any conflicts. While the file count remains consistent at 6, the unpacked size has slightly increased from 8645 to 8698 bytes, reflecting the added code or changes within the updated helper modules. The release date difference showcases that version 7.1.0 came out roughly three weeks after 7.0.0. Examining the changelogs for @babel/helper-simple-access and @babel/helper-module-transforms corresponding to their 7.1.0 releases will give you a better understanding of the specific improvements. This allows developers to leverage the updated and potentially more robust module transformation process, leading to improved build processes and code compatibility.
