The @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs npm package, designed to transform ES2015 modules into CommonJS format, saw a minor version bump from 7.4.3 to 7.4.4. Both versions share the same core functionality, converting modern JavaScript module syntax for compatibility with older environments that rely on the CommonJS module system. Developers using this plugin can seamlessly integrate modern JavaScript features into projects targeting Node.js or older browser environments that haven't fully adopted ES modules.
A key difference lies in the dependencies. Version 7.4.4 updates its dependency on @babel/helper-module-transforms from version 7.4.3 to 7.4.4, reflecting a potential update or bug fix within that helper library. Similarly, the development dependency on @babel/core is updated from 7.4.3 to 7.4.4, suggesting alignment with the latest core Babel features and improvements during the development and testing of the plugin. Package sizes and file count remain consistent between the versions, with both versions having an unpacked size of 8798 bytes across 4 files. The release cadence suggests active maintenance, with version 7.4.4 released approximately three weeks after version 7.4.3, offering continuous integration of fixes and refinements. For those already using Babel, upgrading should be straightforward, ensuring access to the latest improvements in module transformation and underlying helper functionalities.
