Angular Compiler version 6.0.5 is a patch release in the 6.x series, following version 6.0.4. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 1.9.0 or higher, ensuring compatibility for TypeScript helper functions. Maintained under the MIT license and developed by the Angular team, the primary difference lies in the release date and potentially bug fixes or minor internal improvements. Version 6.0.5 was released on June 13, 2018, a week after 6.0.4 which came out on June 6, 2018.
While the file count remains constant at 536, and dependencies are identical, the unpacked size of version 6.0.5 is marginally larger at 22,694,299 bytes compared to 6.0.4's 22,693,429 bytes. This suggests that the changes in 6.0.5 might include code adjustments, optimizations, or textual updates which slightly increased the total size.
For developers using the Angular framework, upgrading from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5 should be a straightforward process, as it's a patch release. The update likely resolves minor issues or edge cases identified in the previous version. Reviewing the official Angular changelog for the 6.0.5 release is recommended to fully understand the specific fixes and enhancements included.
