@babel/plugin-transform-runtime is a crucial Babel plugin that externalizes references to Babel's helper functions and automatically applies polyfills, enabling developers to use modern JavaScript features without polluting the global scope and minimizing bundle sizes.
Comparing versions 7.13.5 and 7.13.6, the key distinctions lie primarily within the development dependencies. While the core functionality remains consistent, version 7.13.6 updates its development dependencies for @babel/runtime and @babel/runtime-corejs3 from version 7.13.4 to 7.13.6. These updates, while seemingly minor, often incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and alignment with the broader Babel ecosystem.
For developers, this means upgrading to version 7.13.6 ensures you're utilizing the latest runtime helpers and core-js polyfills during the development and build process. These updates may address subtle compatibility issues or performance bottlenecks encountered in previous versions. The releaseDate also shows a difference, meaning it's good to keep your dependencies up to date. Since this is a minor update as the first number haven't changed, it's recommended to update packages to the latest version if you are not using a very specific version of one of the dependencies.
