A full version history of the babel-preset-stage-0 package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
Babel Preset Stage 0, a collection of plugins enabling bleeding-edge JavaScript features, has seen numerous versions, each refining its capabilities and dependencies. The initial releases, such as versions 6.0.14 and 6.0.15 in late 2015, established the foundational plugins like transform-do-expressions and transform-function-bind, alongside a core dependency on babel-preset-stage-1. The evolution continued rapidly through versions 6.1.2, 6.1.17, and 6.1.18 within the same month, suggesting active development and refinement of the underlying transformations.
Subsequent releases like 6.2.4 and 6.3.13 in late 2015 subtly upgraded the required plugin versions. A notable jump to version 6.5.0 in early 2016 maintained the same core plugin dependencies, potentially indicating a focus on internal improvements or compatibility adjustments. Later versions, including 6.16.0 (September 2016), 6.22.0 (January 2017), and 6.24.1 (April 2017), show continued updates to align with newer releases of stage 1 and its associated plugins, ensuring developers have access to the latest experimental JavaScript features compatible with the Babel ecosystem. Examining version dependencies reveals incremental updates pointing towards dependency management as it evolves.
