Angular developers relying on the @angular/compiler package will find the jump from version 7.2.13 to 7.2.14 a relatively minor update, but one that includes important, albeit subtle, improvements. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^1.9.0 for TypeScript helper functions, ensuring continued compatibility within the existing Angular ecosystem. The licensing remains MIT, providing developers with the freedom to use and modify the library as needed. Crucially, the file count and unpacked size in the dist object are identical (608 files and 26756244 bytes respectively), hinting that the core architecture and functionalities remain consistent between the two versions and there were most likely no new features or enhancements.
The key differentiator lies in the releaseDate. Version 7.2.13 was released on April 13, 2019, while 7.2.14 was published ten days later, on April 23, 2019. This short interval suggests the release of version 7.2.14 was likely to address bug fixes or minor patches identified in 7.2.13. For developers, this usually means increased stability and reliability. Developers are encouraged to upgrade to version 7.2.14 to benefit from these potential bug fixes and ensure they are working with the most up-to-date and stable version within the 7.2.x series without having breaking changes. However, without specific details on the addressed bugs, the upgrade becomes a standard best practice for maintaining a healthy and robust Angular application.
