Angular developers looking for the latest stable compiler library should be aware of versions 20.1.6 and 20.1.5 of @angular/compiler. Both versions, described as "Angular - the compiler library," share similar characteristics. They depend on tslib version ^2.3.0 and are released under the MIT license. The source code is hosted on GitHub within the packages/compiler directory of the Angular repository, and the author is listed as "angular." The distribution details are also nearly identical: each version consists of 6 files within the tarball, unpacking to a size of 4403456 bytes.
The most noticeable difference lies in the releaseDate. Version 20.1.6 was released on "2025-08-06T19:03:48.416Z", while version 20.1.5 came out earlier on the same day, "2025-08-06T14:37:46.436Z". This suggests that version 20.1.6 is a patch or minor update addressing issues found in version 20.1.5.
While the provided metadata doesn't reveal the specific changes between these versions, developers should prioritize upgrading to the newer 20.1.6. Typically, such incremental releases contain bug fixes, performance improvements, or security patches. Reviewing the Angular changelog or release notes associated with these versions on the official Angular GitHub repository is crucial for understanding the precise modifications and their potential impact on your projects. This will help ensure a more stable and secure development environment.
