Angular Compiler version 12.0.1 represents a minor yet potentially significant update to the Angular compiler library, building upon the foundation laid by version 12.0.0. Both versions share a common dependency on tslib version 2.1.0 or higher, ensuring TypeScript compatibility and runtime assistance. The MIT license continues to govern the use of the library, and its source code remains accessible within the Angular repository on GitHub, specifically in the packages/compiler directory. The author remains attributed to "angular," indicating the collective effort of the Angular team.
While superficially similar, a key difference lies in the dist section. Version 12.0.1 exhibits a slightly larger unpacked size of 18,782,768 bytes compared to version 12.0.0's 18,758,411 bytes. This 24KB difference, despite having same filecount, normally implies bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements introduced in the newer version that might impact compilation speeds or the generated code's efficiency. Developers should strongly consider upgrading to 12.0.1 from 12.0.0 to benefit from a more stable and optimized compilation process. The release date of 12.0.1 is May 19, 2021, giving developers an idea of the recency and potential relevance of any fixes included. Developers using Angular should prioritize staying up-to-date with minor version updates, which often address critical issues without introducing breaking changes.
