Angular Compiler version 18.2.12 is a minor patch release within the Angular ecosystem, addressing potential refinements or bug fixes relative to the previous stable version, 18.2.11. While both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher, a subtle but crucial difference lies in the peer dependency requirement. Version 18.2.12 necessitates @angular/core version 18.2.12, implying a synchronized update within the Angular framework. Developers upgrading to 18.2.12 of the compiler will need to ensure they're also running @angular/core 18.2.12 to maintain compatibility and avoid potential runtime issues.
The core functionality and file structure appear consistent, with both versions boasting 187 files and an unpacked size of 9,239,740 bytes. This suggests no significant overhaul in the compiler's capabilities between the two releases. The newer version has been released on 2024-11-14, one week after the latest version.
For developers considering an upgrade, the key consideration is the peer dependency on @angular/core. If your project is already running @angular/core 18.2.11, upgrading to the corresponding compiler version ensures optimal performance and avoids version conflicts which could lead to build failures or unexpected application behaviour.
