Version 6.1.4 Details

Babel-runtime provides self-contained, precompiled Babel helpers for seamless integration into projects. Comparing versions 6.1.4 and 6.0.14 reveals subtle but important updates for developers utilizing Babel's transformative power. Both versions offer the same core functionality, embedding polyfills and utilities that allow transpiled code to run in older environments. They share identical developer dependencies on vital Babel tools like babel-helpers, babel-plugin-transform-runtime, and babel-template ensuring a consistent development pipeline. Also, both rely on regenerator for generator function support. Both versions of the library are MIT licensed and maintained by Sebastian McKenzie.

The primary difference lies in their dependency on core-js, a crucial library providing polyfills for modern JavaScript features. Version 6.1.4 bumps this dependency to ^1.2.0 from ^1.0.0 in version 6.0.14. This upgrade potentially incorporates new polyfills, bug fixes, or performance enhancements from the newer core-js release. Developers considering upgrading should investigate core-js changes between these versions to anticipate any compatibility implications with their existing code. Beyond the core-js update, these versions appear very similar functionally making migration straightforward unless the developer is using specific, polyfilled features modified in the core-js update. Notably, both versions of babel-runtime depend on version 5 of itself as a dev dependency, suggesting a testing scenario within the babel build pipeline involving older runtime versions.
