Core-js, a widely used JavaScript standard library, saw a minor version update from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 in August 2015. While both versions share the same core description as a "Standard library" and maintain identical licensing under MIT, as well as the same repository on GitHub, a key difference lies in their dependencies and release dates which often signals under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes. Specifically, the newer version, 1.1.2, advanced its webpack dependency to version 1.12.x from 1.11.x in the previous version.
This update is notable for developers bundling their JavaScript code with Webpack, as it suggests potential compatibility improvements or access to new features offered by the updated bundler. The release date also offers insight, with version 1.1.2 released on August 28, 2015, a week after version 1.1.1 which went out on August 20, 2015. This short interval suggests that the newer version likely addresses a bug fix or a minor enhancement identified shortly after the release of 1.1.1. Both versions maintain a suite of development dependencies related to testing and automation including tools like Grunt, Karma, ESLint, and several Karma launchers for different browsers, indicating a strong focus on code quality and cross-browser compatibility.
