Version 17.1.3 of @angular/compiler, released on February 8, 2024, is a minor update to the Angular compiler library, building upon the previous stable version, 17.1.2, released on January 31, 2024. While both versions share similar characteristics, such as the MIT license, repository location, and dependency on tslib, a notable difference lies in the unpackedSize of the distribution. Version 17.1.3 has an unpacked size of 9969958 bytes, slightly larger than version 17.1.2, which has an unpacked size of 9957572 bytes. This increase, although seemingly minor, suggests potential under-the-hood improvements, bug fixes, or additions to the compiler's functionality.
Developers should be aware that both versions are peer-dependent on their corresponding @angular/core versions (17.1.3 and 17.1.2 respectively). Therefore, using @angular/compiler 17.1.3 necessitates using @angular/core 17.1.3 for optimal compatibility and to avoid potential runtime errors. Given the relatively short time span between the two releases coupled with minimal changes apparent in the metadata, upgrading to 17.1.3 is likely a low-risk proposition, potentially benefiting from undisclosed enhancements. Reviewing the Angular changelog for detailed information about specific bug fixes or new features introduced in 17.1.3 is highly recommended for precise understanding before upgrading.
