Angular developers should be aware of the subtle yet important changes between @angular/compiler versions 15.2.7 and 15.2.8. While both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.3.0, they are tightly coupled with their respective @angular/core peer dependency (15.2.7 and 15.2.8, respectively). This close relationship means that upgrading @angular/compiler often necessitates a corresponding upgrade to @angular/core to ensure compatibility and avoid potential runtime issues.
The most apparent difference lies in their release dates. Version 15.2.7 was released on April 12, 2023, while version 15.2.8 followed a week later on April 19, 2023. This short timeframe suggests that 15.2.8 likely contains bug fixes or minor enhancements discovered after the release of 15.2.7. While the listed fileCount and unpackedSize in the dist object are identical, indicating a similar codebase size, the exact nature of these changes requires further investigation into the Angular changelog or commit history. For development teams it is recommended to always use the latest version to have the latest improvements or bug fixes, but should be considered if problems are encountered after upgrading.
