Babel plugin transform object rest spread offers ES5 compatibility for modern JavaScript's object rest and spread properties. Examining versions 6.1.4 and 6.1.17 reveals subtle but important differences for developers utilizing this plugin within their Babel configurations. Both versions share core functionalities: compiling object rest and spread syntax into equivalent ES5 code. Crucially, they both depend on babel-plugin-syntax-object-rest-spread and babel-runtime, maintaining a consistent reliance on these core Babel components. Similarly, babel-helper-plugin-test-runner is present as a dev dependency. The license remains MIT across both versions.
The primary distinction lies in their version numbers and release dates. Version 6.1.4 was released on November 11, 2015, while version 6.1.17 followed closely on November 12, 2015. This implies 6.1.17 includes bug fixes, performance enhancements, or refinements introduced since 6.1.4. For developers, upgrading to 6.1.17 is advisable, especially if they encountered any issues or inconsistencies with the earlier 6.1.4 version. While specific changelogs aren't provided here, the short time span suggests incremental improvements rather than drastic overhauls. Always check for updates from Babel's official source before installing any version.
