Version 2.0.1 Details

@angular/compiler versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 represent incremental updates to Angular's core compilation library, essential for transforming Angular templates and code into executable JavaScript. Both versions share the same fundamental purpose of enabling Angular applications to run efficiently in browsers and other environments. They are licensed under MIT, ensuring broad usability, and maintained by the Angular team. Key information such as the repository is also consistent.

The primary distinction lies in the specified peer dependency for @angular/core. Version 2.0.0 declares its dependency as "^2.0.0", meaning it's compatible with version 2.0.0 and any subsequent minor or patch releases within the 2.x.x semantic versioning scheme. Version 2.0.1 tightens this dependency, requiring @angular/core specifically at version "2.0.1". This subtle change suggests that version 2.0.1 of the compiler likely includes fixes or optimizations specifically designed to work with @angular/core version 2.0.1 and that compatibility with other @angular/core versions is not guaranteed.

Software developers should understand that while both versions provide essential compilation functionalities, the version 2.0.1 offers improved compatibility and optimization with that specific minor release of @angular/core. For those working with Angular 2, selecting the correct compiler version, corresponding to the core version enhances stability and avoids unexpected behavior since a more strict comparison is enforced. Always consult the official Angular changelog or release notes for detailed information on bug fixes, performance improvements, and any breaking changes when upgrading between versions. The release dates, September 15th and September 23rd of 2016 respectively, suggest one week appart upgrades.
