Version 8.0.0 Details

@angular/compiler v8.0.0 represents a significant step forward from v7.2.16 in the Angular framework's evolution. While both versions share the core dependency on tslib and the same MIT license, v8.0.0, released in May 2019, marks a key milestone with potential performance improvements and new features that would have been absent in the earlier v7.2.16, released in January 2020.

Developers will be most interested in the underlying enhancements to compilation speed and the introduction of new Angular features if present. The increase in unpacked size from 26,756,244 bytes in v7.2.16 to 27,665,779 bytes in v8.0.0 suggests that v8.0.0 incorporates more code, likely due to added functionality and optimizations. While both have the same number of files, v8 likely includes new or altered components that may yield benefits in production. For the developer using Angular, embracing v8.0.0 will bring them on par with the mainstream framework release for 2019. This version would probably enable usage of the latest Angular practices from the time.
