Version 6.6.1 Details

Babel-runtime provides Babel's self-contained runtime library, essential for using features like async/await and generators when transforming code with Babel. Comparing versions 6.6.0 and 6.6.1, the core functionalities remain consistent. Both versions share the same dependencies, including core-js for polyfilling modern JavaScript features and several devDependencies crucial for development and testing within the Babel ecosystem. These devDependencies encompass tools like babel-helpers, babel-plugin-transform-runtime, babel-template, and babel-regenerator-runtime, all operating at version 6.6.0 or 6.3.13 respectively, indicating stability in the core Babel toolchain surrounding the runtime.

The key difference lies in the releaseDate: version 6.6.1 was published on March 1st, 2016, shortly after version 6.6.0, which was released on February 29th, 2016. This suggests that version 6.6.1 likely contains minor bug fixes, patches, or incremental improvements over 6.6.0, without introducing major API changes or new features. For developers, especially those aiming for maximum stability, upgrading to the later version (6.6.1) is generally recommended. The consistent dependency versions also mean a seamless transition with minimal risk of breaking changes. If you're encountering niche errors or seeking the most up-to-date, community-vetted runtime support, ensure you're using the latest patch version. Both versions ensure proper execution of transformed code in environments without native support for ES2015+ features.
