Angular Compiler version 7.0.0 represents an upgrade from the previous stable version 6.1.10, offering improvements and potentially new features relevant to Angular developers. Both versions share core characteristics, including the "Angular - the compiler library" description, a dependency on "tslib" version ^1.9.0, the MIT license, and the same GitHub repository under the "angular" author.
One noticeable difference is the release date. Version 7.0.0 was published on October 18, 2018, a little over a week later than version 6.1.10, which was released on October 10, 2018. This suggests that version 7.0.0 incorporates the latest bug fixes, performance enhancements, and potentially new functionalities developed during that period.
The "dist" object reveals more insights. Version 7.0.0 comes with a "fileCount" of 580, slightly higher than the 572 files in Version 6.1.10. It also shows a larger "unpackedSize" of 25,269,010 bytes compared to 24,196,845 bytes in the older version. This increase in size and file count could imply the addition of new features, expanded functionalities, or more comprehensive tooling within the compiler.
For developers, upgrading to version 7.0.0 of the Angular compiler could mean accessing these improvements, potentially leading to better performance, new capabilities for their application development, and a more streamlined workflow. It's important that developers review the official Angular changelog for specific details on the changes, bug fixes, and any breaking changes between these versions allowing them to be fully informed before upgrading the packages.
