此版本默认支持解析顶级 await（第 4 阶段的 五月 会议）以及转换对私有字段的更人性化的 brand checks（第 4 阶段的 七月 会议）。现在还支持 Hack-style 管道操作符。我们也改进了对 TypeScript 的支持，实现了对 const 枚举和命名空间别名的转换支持，并且我们扩展了通过 React.createContext() 创建的 React 组件添加 .displayName 的启发式方法（#13501）。
我们还引入了一个新的编译器假设，noIncompleteNsImportDetection，在将 ECMAScript 模块编译到 CommonJS 时产生更小的输出，而不必担心模块周期导致的部分初始化的命名空间导入。
此外，你现在可以指定 Rhino 作为编译器目标。

Since 2018, Babel has been doing a funding experiment: can full time work on Babel be sustained? We've learned the answer might be no.

Babel 7.14.0 is out!
This release enables class fields and private methods by default (they were promoted to Stage 4 during the recent April TC39 meeting!) and adds brand checks for private fields and static class blocks to @babel/preset-env's shippedProposals option.
We added support for Stage 1 async do expressions (using @babel/plugin-proposal-async-do-expressions), which extends the Stage 1 do expression proposal.
Thanks to Sosuke Suzuki and Pig Fang, Babel can now handle TypeScript 4.3 features. @babel/parser also has a new option to correctly parse TypeScript declaration files.
Finally, we introduced a new importInterop: node option to make it easier to produce dual modules by compiling ECMAScript imports to CommonJS that follow Node.js semantics.

We just published Babel 7.13.0, the first minor release of 2021!
This release includes some important features to @babel/core: a targets option (similar to @babel/preset-env's one) that can be shared across different plugins, an assumptions option to precisely tune your configuration to produce a smaller compilation output, and support for plugins and presets written using native ECMAScript modules.
Babel now supports transforming the Records and Tuples ECMAScript proposal, which brings immutable data structures and structural equality to JavaScript, and parsing the Module Blocks proposal.
Additionally, we added support for some new Flow and TypeScript features.

October 15, 2020
We just published a new minor version of Babel!
This release includes support for the new TypeScript 4.1 beta features: template literal types and key remapping in mapped types.
Additionally, we implemented two new ECMAScript proposals: class static blocks and imports and exports with string names.
Lastly, we renamed @babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes (and the corresponding parser plugin moduleAttributes) to @babel/plugin-syntax-import-assertions (and importAssertions), to match the recent proposal updates. The old plugin will work until Babel 8, but it's deprecated now.
