Version 4.7.4 Details

Babel-runtime version 4.7.4 represents a minor iteration over its predecessor, version 4.7.3, within the babel ecosystem. Both provide the selfContained runtime environment necessary for Babel-transformed code to function correctly across various JavaScript environments. The core purpose of babel-runtime is to abstract away the polyfills and helper functions Babel injects into your code, keeping your primary codebase cleaner and smaller.

The primary distinction between the two versions lies primarily in bug fixes and minor enhancements included in the newer 4.7.4 release. While both versions share identical descriptions, repository information, and author details, the release dates clearly indicate that v4.7.4 succeeds v4.7.3. Given the relatively short time span between releases—approximately two days—it's plausible that version 4.7.4 addresses specific issues or refinements identified shortly after the deployment of v4.7.3. Both versions depends on core-js with version ^0.6.1.

For developers, choosing the latest version, 4.7.4, is generally recommended. It will likely offer a more stable and refined runtime environment. When upgrading, review Babel's changelog for detailed information on changes and improvements. The babel-runtime allows to have a cleaner and more portable code. Using the latest version is the best option, but always perform a dependency audit.
