Rollup Plugin Esbuild, a popular tool for bundling JavaScript, has released version 2.5.1, a patch update following version 2.5.0. While both versions share the same core functionality and MIT license, several dependency updates make 2.5.1 a worthwhile upgrade. Users will benefit from the updated @rollup/pluginutils dependency, moving from version 3.1.0 to version 4.0.0, which likely incorporates bug fixes and performance enhancements, ensuring better compatibility and stability within the Rollup ecosystem.
Furthermore, the devDependencies see a significant shift. Jest advances from 26.4.2 to 26.5.0, Rollup jumps from 2.26.8 to 2.28.2, and most importantly, esbuild moves from 0.6.15 to 0.7.7. These development dependency updates likely brought improvements in tests, build process, and the core esbuild transformation respectively. Developers should be aware that version 2.5.1 requires a newer Node.js version than 2.5.0, as ts-node moves from version 8 to 9, and @types/node moves from a 12.x version to a 14.x one. Although the peer dependency esbuild remains at "^0.6.0", developers should appreciate that the newer version of esbuild might provide benefits related to speed and supported syntax. In conclusion, version 2.5.1 focuses on refining the development environment and dependencies, promising a smoother experience for developers working with this Rollup plugin.
