Angular's @angular/compiler package, essential for transforming Angular templates and code into executable instructions, saw a minor version bump from 12.2.13 to 12.2.14. While both versions share the same core description and dependencies on tslib (version ^2.2.0), indicating a consistent foundational codebase, some key differentiators exist. Both version are under the MIT license, with the code repository hosted on Github.
The most noticeable change lies in the release date, with version 12.2.14 published on December 1, 2021, subsequent to version 12.2.13 which was released on November 3, 2021. This signifies that version 12.2.14 incorporates updates and potentially bug fixes accumulated during that intervening month.
Another subtle difference is the unpackedSize within the dist object. Version 12.2.14 is slightly larger, with an unpacked size of 19619475 compared to 19608968 for version 12.2.13. Both version have 487 files. The difference (around 10KB) could be due to minor code adjustments, updated build processes, or even changes in comments, documentation, or metadata. Developers should generally opt for the latest version (12.2.14) due to the likelihood of bug fixes and incremental improvements, while being aware that even minor version bumps can sometimes introduce unforeseen effects, warranting thorough testing after upgrading.
