Version 4.7.16 Details

Babel-runtime offers self-contained runtime support for Babel-compiled code, ensuring compatibility and proper execution, especially in environments where native ES6 features are not fully available. Versions 4.7.15 and 4.7.16, both released on March 18, 2015, maintain the core functionality of providing necessary polyfills and helper functions. The minimal changes between these versions likely involve bug fixes or minor internal improvements to the Babel runtime. Developers using Babel to transpile their JavaScript code rely on babel-runtime to handle features like generators, async/await, and other ES6+ functionalities.

The dependency on core-js version "^0.6.1" in both packages indicates a commitment to providing essential polyfills based on that specification. Given the close release dates (within a few hours of each other), upgrading from 4.7.15 to 4.7.16 should be a straightforward process with minimal impact, and is not expected to introduce breaking changes. It's recommended to always utilize the latest stable version for any potential bug fixes or performance improvements offered but the differences between the two versions are so minimal that the upgrade is not urgent. For developers using Babel in their projects, babel-runtime significantly simplifies the process of supporting older environments by automatically including necessary runtime code, rather than requiring manual polyfill management.
