@rollup/plugin-commonjs version 15.1.0 introduces subtle but important improvements over version 15.0.0, making it a worthwhile upgrade for developers using Rollup to bundle CommonJS modules into modern ES modules. Both versions share the core functionality of converting CommonJS modules for Rollup, along with identical dependencies like glob, resolve, and magic-string that handle file system operations, module resolution, and code manipulation, respectively. They also rely on the same suite of development tools, ensuring a consistent development experience for contributors.
The key difference lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize attribute. Version 15.1.0 exhibits a slightly larger unpacked size (300373 bytes) compared to version 15.0.0 (289855 bytes). While seemingly minor, this increase suggests internal optimizations or the inclusion of additional features or refined code in version 15.1.0. Developers should consider this when optimizing bundle sizes, although the difference is unlikely to be significant in most use cases. Furthermore, version 15.1.0 was released more recently, including potentially important bug fixes. Both versions specify the same peer dependency for rollup at version 2.22.0 and up, ensuring compatibility. Migrating to 15.1.0 is straightforward considering the shared dependencies.
