Angular Compiler version 11.2.5 is a minor release within the Angular 11 family, building upon version 11.2.4. Both versions share the same core description as the "Angular - the compiler library" and depend on tslib version 2.0.0 or higher, indicating a consistent baseline for TypeScript helper functions. Licensing remains under the MIT license, and the source code resides within the packages/compiler directory of the main Angular GitHub repository.
The key differences lie in the build artifacts. Version 11.2.5 features a smaller unpacked size of 21,282,336 bytes compared to 11.2.4's 21,534,510 bytes, suggesting optimization efforts. The file count also slightly decreased from 470 to 464 files. These indicate potential improvements in code splitting, tree-shaking or removal of unnecessary files, leading to a more compact compiler package.
Developers updating from 11.2.4 to 11.2.5 can expect a potentially smaller bundle size in their Angular applications, which translates to faster load times. The release date of March 10, 2021 signifies that 11.2.5 contains fixes and refinements implemented in the week following the release of 11.2.4 like bug fixes and minor features improvements. While the core functionality remains the same, the update likely addresses specific edge cases or performance bottlenecks uncovered in the previous version, offering a more polished and efficient compilation process for Angular projects. Upgrading is recommended to leverage these subtle but valuable enhancements.
