- Removed
babel-coredependency acting as Babel 7 bridge (#13922. Ensure all references tobabel-coreare replaced with@babel/core. - Preset updated to include
@wordpress/babel-plugin-import-jsx-pragmaplugin integration (#13540). It should no longer be explicitly included in your Babel config.
- The runtime transform no longer disables the
regeneratoroption. This should resolve issues where a file generated using the preset would assume the presence of aregeneratorRuntimeobject in the global scope. While this is not considered a breaking change, you may be mindful to consider that with transformed output now explicitly importing the runtime regenerator, bundle sizes may increase if you do not otherwise mitigate the additional import by either (a) overriding the option in your own Babel configuration extensions or (b) redefining the resolved value of@babel/runtime/regeneratorusing a feature like Webpack'sexternalsoption.
- The configured
@babel/preset-envpreset will no longer passuseBuiltIns: 'usage'as an option. It is therefore expected that a polyfill serve in its place, if necessary.
