Babel Plugin Transform Property Literals, a tool designed to optimize JavaScript code by converting valid property key literals into plain identifiers, saw a new release with version 6.8.5 following version 6.8.4. Both iterations share the core functionality of streamlining property access, contributing to potentially smaller and faster code. Both versions depend on esutils version ^2.0.2.
The key difference lies in the project's repository location. Version 6.8.4 resided within the "babili" project on GitHub, specifically under the babel/babili repository. Version 6.8.5 saw a shift to the "minify" project, now located at babel/minify. This change is significant for developers looking to contribute, report issues, or explore the plugin's source code as now they need to point to the babel/minify repo instead of the older babel/babili one.
Version 6.8.5 was released on 2017-08-14, a couple of months after v6.8.4 being released on 2017-06-13. The tarball URL in the dist section differs, naturally, as it points to the specific archive for each version on the npm registry. Developers considering using this plugin should be aware of this subtle change in repository location. If you have used previous versions from the babel/babili repo, make sure to use the babel/minify one for v6.8.5.
