Version 5.6.12 Details

Babel-runtime versions 5.6.11 and 5.6.12 are both self-contained runtime environments designed to support Babel's transpilation process, allowing developers to use modern JavaScript features in older environments. Both versions, licensed under the MIT license, share identical dependencies on the core-js library, version ^0.9.0, and are authored by Sebastian McKenzie. The source code for both resides in the Babel GitHub repository.

The primary distinction between these two versions lies in their release dates. Version 5.6.12 was published on June 26, 2015, at 10:41:27.339Z, a few hours after version 5.6.11 which was released on June 26, 2015, at 01:39:56.872Z. This suggests that version 5.6.12 likely addresses bug fixes or minor improvements discovered shortly after the release of 5.6.11.

For developers, using babel-runtime simplifies the deployment of Babel-compiled code by encapsulating polyfills and helper functions necessary for running transformed code. When choosing between these minor versions, it is generally advisable to opt for the newer version, 5.6.12, due to the potential inclusion of immediate post-release fixes. Both versions ensure compatibility with environments lacking native support for features like generators, async/await, and other ES2015+ functionalities, making them crucial when targeting a broad range of browsers or Node.js versions. Developers can easily install these packages via npm using the provided 'tarball' URLs, simplifying integration into existing projects. Ultimately, babel-runtime reduces the burden of managing polyfills manually, streamlining the development workflow.
