Angular's @angular/compiler package saw a recent update from version 16.2.0 to 16.2.1. Both versions, essential for compiling Angular templates and components, share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher. They are also licensed under MIT and maintain the same repository location within the Angular project on GitHub. Crucially, both versions also have identical unpacked sizes and file counts, suggesting minimal changes in the core compilation engine.
The most significant difference lies in the peer dependency @angular/core. Version 16.2.0 requires @angular/core version 16.2.0, while version 16.2.1 mandates @angular/core version 16.2.1. This means developers upgrading to @angular/compiler 16.2.1 *must* also update their @angular/core package to the corresponding 16.2.1 version to ensure compatibility and avoid potential runtime errors or unexpected behavior. The updated version was released on August 16, 2023, approximately a week after version 16.2.0, indicating that version 16.2.1 likely addresses bug fixes or minor enhancements that are tightly coupled to the @angular/core update. For developers, this update implies a necessary synchronization between @angular/compiler and @angular/core, emphasizing the importance of carefully managing Angular package versions within their projects.
