Version 10.0.8 of @angular/compiler, a crucial part of the Angular framework responsible for transforming Angular templates and TypeScript code into executable JavaScript, represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 10.0.7. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.0.0 or higher for essential TypeScript helper functions. They are both licensed under the MIT license and developed by the Angular team, residing within the packages/compiler directory of the main Angular repository on GitHub.
The most noticeable difference lies in the dist section, where the unpacked size of version 10.0.8 is slightly larger (20595517 bytes) compared to version 10.0.7 (20585808 bytes). This indicates small refinements or bug fixes implemented in the newer release, potentially optimizing code generation or addressing edge cases discovered in the previous iteration. Even though the fileCount remains constant at 455, the slight increase in size can be interesting for developers using the library, potentially signifying improved performance or stability. The releases are also spaced apart in time. Version 10.0.7 was released on July 30, 2020, while version 10.0.8 came out on August 4, 2020, indicating a relatively quick follow-up with likely important fixes given the close proximity of the dates. Developers are recommended to upgrade to version 10.0.8 to benefit from these improvements.
