Babel preset targeting Node.js 5 to enable ES2015 features (destructuring, rest/default parameters, modules, unicode/sticky regex) and the ES2016 async function. Version 1.1.2 is the latest and final release; the project is abandoned. Unlike broader presets like babel-preset-env, this is a narrow, version-specific preset that only adds missing ES2015 features for Node 5 and one ES2016 feature (async). It is superseded by babel-preset-env and the Babel 7 ecosystem.
