Babel-runtime provides self-contained runtime support for Babel transformed code, enabling ES2015+ features to function seamlessly in environments that don't natively support them. Comparing versions 6.20.0 and 6.18.0, the core difference lies in the updated dependency on regenerator-runtime. Version 6.20.0 depends on regenerator-runtime version ^0.10.0, while the older 6.18.0 relies on ^0.9.5. This upgrade ensures developers benefit from the latest improvements and bug fixes in the regenerator library, which polyfills features like async/await. Both versions share the same dependencies for core-js (^2.4.0) and devDependencies for babel-helpers and babel-plugin-transform-runtime, indicating consistency in the core functionality and tooling. The babel-plugin-transform-runtime is crucial because it intelligently uses the babel-runtime library to avoid code duplication and reduce bundle sizes when using Babel. For developers, upgrading to version 6.20.0 is recommended to leverage the updated regenerator-runtime and benefit from potential performance improvements and bug fixes. While the core API remains consistent, ensuring compatibility with regenerator-runtime v0.10.0 is essential for seamless execution of asynchronous code. Developers should always test their applications after upgrading any dependency to ensure no unexpected issues arise.
