Angular developers looking to stay current with the framework should note the subtle but important differences between @angular/compiler versions 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. While both are described as the "Angular - the compiler library," the later version, 4.1.2, was released on May 10, 2017, a week after version 4.1.1, which was released on May 4, 2017. The core functionality remains the same, built upon the MIT license and housed within the official Angular GitHub repository. Both versions also share the same author, "angular".
The critical distinction lies within their peer dependencies. Version 4.1.1 necessitates @angular/core: "4.1.1," while version 4.1.2 requires @angular/core: "4.1.2." This indicates that version 4.1.2 of the compiler is specifically designed to work seamlessly with version 4.1.2 of Angular core. Developers upgrading to @angular/compiler 4.1.2 *must* also upgrade to @angular/core 4.1.2 to ensure compatibility and avoid potential runtime errors. Failing to do so could lead to unexpected behavior and application instability. Before updating, carefully examine the changelog and migration guides for both @angular/compiler and @angular/core version 4.1.2 to understand the specific changes and potential impact on your project. Each version is available as a tarball via the npm registry, simplifying integration into Angular projects. Stay informed about these updates to maintain a stable and well-performing Angular application.
