From a developer's perspective, the upgrade from 14.1.0 to 14.1.1 might seem subtle but could include essential bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor adjustments. The core functionality described by the description remains the same "Angular - the compiler library" indicating stability in the core functionality.
Both versions share the same dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.3.0 for TypeScript helper functions, and have @angular/core as a peer dependency, indicating tight integration and version compatibility requirements within the Angular ecosystem. The MIT license continues to offer developers flexibility in using and distributing the compiler. The repository remains consistent, pointing to the Angular GitHub repository, reinforcing the project's open-source nature. The package size also stays the same, with both versions having 116 files and an unpacked size of 8948810.
The key difference lies in the release date: 2022-08-03 for 14.1.1 versus 2022-07-20 for 14.1.0. Upgrading to 14.1.1 is generally recommended to leverage these potential improvements and bug fixes. Developers should always consult the official Angular changelog for detailed specifics to assess the impact. Since it's very alike to the previous version, upgrading shouldn't require major refactoring on the user application that is consuming it.
