Angular developers considering an upgrade to @angular/compiler version 6.0.3 from 6.0.2 will find a minor update focused on internal improvements and bug fixes rather than significant feature additions. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^1.9.0 for TypeScript helper functions, indicating a commitment to backward compatibility at the TypeScript level. The license remains MIT, ensuring developers have broad flexibility in using the library. The core code repository also remains consistent, hosted on GitHub under the angular/angular project.
A key difference lies within the dist object. The unpackedSize has slightly reduced from 22699545 bytes in version 6.0.2 to 22699529 bytes in version 6.0.3. The fileCount is the same, fixed at 536. Although the difference is minor, it suggests some optimization or code reduction occurred. The most significant update is reflected in the releaseDate: version 6.0.3 was published on May 22, 2018, while 6.0.2 was released on May 15, 2018. This indicates that 6.0.3 likely addresses issues discovered shortly after the release of 6.0.2. Therefore, for developers seeking the most stable experience, upgrading to 6.0.3 is encouraged despite the minimal changes. It benefits from a week of post-release refinement.
