Angular Compiler version 15.0.1 is a minor patch release following the 15.0.0 version, both part of the Angular framework's compiler library. While the core functionality remains consistent, indicated by the shared description, dependencies on tslib, and license, there are subtle yet important distinctions for developers.
The primary difference lies in the release date and unpacked size of the distributed package. Version 15.0.1 was released on November 23, 2022, a week after 15.0.0 (November 16, 2022). The unpacked size of version 15.0.1 is slightly larger at 9131447 bytes compared to 15.0.0's 9131419 bytes, indicating minor bug fixes or very small feature additions. Both versions share the same file count (116), which shows there were no major structural changes.
For developers, upgrading from 15.0.0 to 15.0.1 should be a straightforward process. Due to the patch nature, extensive testing might not be required, although it's always recommended. The key benefit of upgrading is access to the latest bug fixes and any minor performance enhancements included. Both versions require @angular/core as a peer dependency, ensuring compatibility within the Angular 15 ecosystem. It's good to keep updated with the latest version of the framework's components to benefit from incremental updates and maintain application stability.
