Angular developers have two closely released versions of the @angular/compiler package to consider: 16.0.3 and 16.0.4. Both versions are described as "Angular - the compiler library," highlighting their essential role in the Angular ecosystem. They share fundamental characteristics, including identical dependencies on tslib (version ^2.3.0) and licensing under the MIT license. They also point to the same repository within the Angular project on GitHub and were authored by the Angular team. The fileCount and unpackedSize from the dist metadata share the same values.
A key difference is the peer dependency: version 16.0.3 relies on @angular/core version 16.0.3, while version 16.0.4 necessitates @angular/core version 16.0.4. This indicates a close relationship and compatibility requirement between the compiler and core Angular libraries. The release dates mark a one-week difference, with version 16.0.3 released on May 24 2023, and 16.0.4 released on June 1st 2023.
For developers, upgrading from 16.0.3 to 16.0.4 requires ensuring their @angular/core package is also updated to 16.0.4. This likely involves minor bug fixes, potential performance improvements, or subtle API adjustments within the compiler that necessitate a corresponding update in the core library. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog and release notes for a comprehensive list of changes and potential breaking changes.
