Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@babel/preset-env is a powerful tool for Babel users, allowing them to easily configure Babel to only include the necessary transformations for their target environments. Comparing version 7.7.4 with the previous stable version, 7.7.1, reveals several updates primarily focused on dependency upgrades. Most notably, many of the @babel/plugin-* dependencies have been bumped to version 7.7.4 in the newer version, ensuring access to the latest bug fixes and improvements within those individual transformation plugins.

While many of the plugin versions are updated, some differences stand out. Some package versions were updated to version 7.7.1 (from older versions) like @babel/types, @babel/helper-module-imports, and many more.

Another notable change is in the compat-table dev dependency. Version 7.7.1 was using github:kangax/compat-table#071b478a44694cbf72a78db8ab39189c5ae31b2c while 7.7.4 is using github:kangax/compat-table#4195aca631ad904cb0efeb62a9c2d8c8511706f8. compat-table is important because it is the one responsible to know the version of the different JavaScript engines, so developers should consider the upgrade for better compatibilities .

For developers, upgrading to 7.7.4 is recommended to benefit from these latest versions and ensure optimal compatibility and feature support. Check if your team uses any of the transformed plugins and consider the change log of each one to check if any breaking change is happening.
