Version 7.22.15 of @babel/plugin-transform-runtime introduces key updates compared to its predecessor, version 7.22.10, impacting developers leveraging Babel for JavaScript transformation and polyfilling. The core functionality remains consistent: externalizing references to helpers and built-ins to avoid global namespace pollution, streamlining the polyfilling process for modern JavaScript features.
A noticeable change lies in the updated dependencies. While most dependencies remain consistent between the versions, @babel/helper-module-imports has been bumped from version 7.22.5 to 7.22.15. This suggests internal improvements regarding how modules are handled during the transformation process potentially optimizing import handling or resolving past bugs. Also, some dev dependencies were updated, suggesting more recent tooling and tests. @babel/core was updated from 7.22.10 to 7.22.15. @babel/helpers was updated from 7.22.10 to 7.22.15. @babel/runtime was updated from 7.22.10 to 7.22.15. @babel/preset-env was updated from 7.22.10 to 7.22.15 and @babel/runtime-corejs3 was updated from 7.22.10 to 7.22.15.
Although seemingly minor, these incremental version bumps collectively indicate a focus on stability, performance enhancements, and alignment with the latest Babel ecosystem components. Developers upgrading should anticipate smoother performance and potentially fewer compatibility issues, particularly when integrating with recent versions of @babel/core, @babel/preset-env, and related Babel plugins. The difference in unpacked size (38751 vs. 38754) suggests some improvements, but should not be considered too relevant. Overall, version 7.22.15 likely provides a refined and more reliable experience for automatically and efficiently polyfilling code.
