Version 3.28.0 Details

Core-js version 3.28.0 represents an incremental update to the popular JavaScript standard library, building upon the foundation of version 3.27.2. While both versions share the same core purpose – providing polyfills and shims for modern JavaScript features to ensure compatibility across different environments – a closer look reveals key distinctions.

The newer version, released on February 13, 2023, boasts an increased file count (3331) in its distribution compared to the previous version (3236), alongside a larger unpacked size (1,119,280 bytes vs 1,081,124 bytes). This suggests the addition of new features, refinements to existing polyfills, or a combination of both. Developers adopting version 3.28.0 can expect a more comprehensive suite of standardized JavaScript functionalities readily available for their projects, potentially reducing the need for custom implementations or reliance on external libraries for specific features.

The update likely addresses bug fixes and performance improvements discovered since the release of 3.27.2 in January 2023. While the specific changes aren't explicitly detailed, developers prioritizing stability and access to the latest standardized features would benefit from upgrading. Because file size grew this might also suggest that there is some bigger internal refactor that could provide even more performance improvements. As with any library update, reviewing the detailed changelog (available on the core-js repository) is crucial for understanding the precise modifications and potential impact on existing codebases to streamline the upgrading.
