Babel-runtime versions 5.4.6 and 5.4.5 offer essential self-contained runtime environments for Babel-compiled JavaScript code, ensuring compatibility across various JavaScript environments. Both versions, licensed under MIT, share the same core functionality, author, and repository, indicating a strong commitment to open-source principles and maintainability by Sebastian McKenzie. They both rely on the 'core-js' dependency (version '^0.9.0') for polyfilling modern JavaScript features, highlighting a focus on enabling developers to use the latest language features without sacrificing compatibility with older browsers or environments.
The primary difference between the two is their release date. Version 5.4.6 was released on May 21, 2015, at 17:46:58.987Z, roughly 17 hours after version 5.4.5, which was released on the same day at 00:45:20.678Z. This suggests that version 5.4.6 is likely a patch release addressing minor bug fixes or improvements identified shortly after the release of 5.4.5.
For developers, choosing either version offers a reliable runtime environment for Babel projects. However, opting for the newer version (5.4.6) is generally recommended as it likely incorporates the latest bug fixes and refinements. Developers can easily integrate these runtimes into their projects using npm or yarn, leveraging the provided 'tarball' URLs for direct downloads. The consistent author and repository further assure developers of ongoing maintenance and community support within the Babel ecosystem. Consider upgrading to 5.4.6 for the latest enhancements.
