Version 5.5.6 Details

Babel-runtime versions 5.5.6 and 5.5.5 offer essential self-contained runtime support for Babel, enabling developers to leverage modern JavaScript features in environments lacking native support. Both versions share the same MIT license, ensuring broad compatibility and usage freedom. They also rely on the core-js dependency (version ^0.9.0) to provide polyfills for missing JavaScript functionalities, guaranteeing consistent behavior across different browsers and Node.js versions. Both versions were authored by Sebastian McKenzie, reflecting ongoing dedication and maintainership by the core Babel team. The most noteworthy difference is the release date, with version 5.5.6 arriving on June 9, 2015, just a day after version 5.5.5, released on June 8, 2015. This suggests that version 5.5.6 likely incorporates bug fixes or minor enhancements discovered shortly after the previous release. From a developer's perspective, while both versions facilitate seamless integration of Babel-compiled code, opting for version 5.5.6 is generally advisable. The newer version potentially provides a more stable and refined runtime environment because it probably incorporates fixes for any immediate issues identified in 5.5.5. Both packages are easily accessible via npm, streamlining installation and dependency management for projects utilizing Babel. Check the changelog for more details about the patches.
