Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@rollup/plugin-commonjs version 17.1.0 is a minor update to version 17.0.0 of this Rollup plugin, which is crucial for converting CommonJS modules into the modern ES2015 format that Rollup can efficiently bundle. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies like glob, resolve, commondir, is-reference, magic-string, estree-walker and @rollup/pluginutils, ensuring consistent handling of CommonJS modules. They also have identical development dependencies like shx, rollup, source-map, typescript, locate-character, require-relative, source-map-support, @rollup/plugin-json, and @rollup/plugin-node-resolve, used for building and testing the plugin itself and peer dependency on rollup.

The key notable difference lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize and releaseDate. Version 17.1.0 has an unpacked size of 374250 bytes and was released on January 29, 2021, whereas version 17.0.0 had an unpacked size of 339048 bytes and was released on November 30, 2020. This indicates that version 17.1.0 includes some code enhancements, bug fixes, or added functionalities that were not present in the previous version, increasing its overall size. Considering the minor version bump, developers upgrading should expect bug fixes, performance improvements, or small feature additions rather than breaking changes. For developers seeking the most recent fixes and potential optimizations, version 17.1.0 is the recommended upgrade, while those with strict dependency constraints may remain on 17.0.0.
