Version 6.6.0 Details

Babel-runtime is a crucial package for Babel users, providing the necessary self-contained runtime environment for compiled code to function correctly in older JavaScript environments. Comparing version 6.6.0 and the previous stable version 6.5.0 reveals specific changes relevant to developers.

The key difference lies in the core-js dependency. Version 6.6.0 updates this dependency to ^2.1.0, whereas version 6.5.0 uses ^1.2.0. This jump in core-js version suggests significant updates to the polyfills and language feature support offered, potentially enabling broader compatibility and access to newer JavaScript functionalities. Developers should investigate the core-js changelog between these versions to understand the precise new features and bug fixes included, ensuring alignment with their target environments and Babel configurations.

Notably, the devDependencies mostly remain consistent, with both versions utilizing the same versions of babel-helpers, babel-plugin-transform-runtime, babel-template, and babel-regenerator-runtime. This indicates stability in the core tooling used for development and integration. However, while the versions are the same, it's always good to verify that these dependecies satisfy all your needs.

The upgrade to version 6.6.0 is recommended primarily for developers seeking the enhanced core-js functionalities if they are not locked to a specific core-js version, and those beginning new projects. Existing projects should carefully test the upgrade to ensure compatibility and avoid unexpected breaking changes related to the updated core-js polyfills. Always audit your dependencies!
