The [latest standard](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm) was approved in June 2015.
As it includes a lot of new features, most browsers implement them partially. You can find the current state of the support at [](https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/).

Actually, there are two parts in Babel:

-- An additional JavaScript library which adds the support for modern JavaScript functions to the browser.

+The transpiler runs on a developer's computer. It rewrites the code, which is then bundled by a project build system (like [webpack](http://webpack.github.io/) or [brunch](http://brunch.io/)). Most build systems can support Babel easily. One just needs to setup the build system itself.
