Version 7.18.2 Details

@babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs, a crucial Babel plugin for converting ES2015 modules into the widely supported CommonJS format, has seen a recent update from version 7.18.0 to 7.18.2. This plugin is essential for developers targeting environments that haven't fully adopted ES module syntax, ensuring compatibility across various Node.js versions and older browsers.

The key difference between the versions lies in updated dependencies. Version 7.18.2 incorporates @babel/helper-simple-access at version ^7.18.2, a bump from ^7.17.7 in the previous version. While seemingly minor, this likely addresses bug fixes or performance improvements within the helper module, potentially impacting the overall efficiency and reliability of CommonJS transformation. Both versions share the same core dependencies such as @babel/helper-plugin-utils, @babel/helper-module-transforms, and babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node, signifying a stable core functionality. The @babel/core peer dependency remains consistent, requiring any version 7 or higher.

For developers, upgrading to 7.18.2 is recommended to benefit from the latest refinements to the @babel/helper-simple-access dependency. This could address edge-case scenarios or improve the generated CommonJS output. Because the main functionalities and other dependencies are the same, the upgrade should be seamless. Be aware of the peer dependency @babel/core which need to be at least at version 7. This guarantees the correct functionality of the module.
