Babel-plugin-minify-infinity is a Babel plugin designed to optimize JavaScript code by replacing Infinity with 1/0, resulting in a smaller bundle size after minification. Both versions 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 share the same MIT license and are part of the Babel Minify project, accessible via its GitHub repository. They are authored by Amasad.
The key difference between version 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 lies in their file size and release date. Version 0.4.1, released on May 3, 2018, has minor size advantages: it unpacks to 1672 bytes, versus 1682 bytes for version 0.4.0, released on April 8, 2018. The file count remained consistent at 5 between releases, with a small reduction on the unpacked size.
For developers integrating this plugin, the choice between these two versions is unlikely to have a significant impact due to their similar functionalities and minor size differences. When choosing the version, considering the context of its integration with your larger project and any potential dependency-related issues is best approach. This plugin can significantly reduce the final bundle size by substituting the Infinity identifier with the 1/0 mathematical equivalent.
