Angular developers will find the transition from version 8.0.3 to 8.1.0 of the @angular/compiler package a relatively minor update with a focus on internal improvements and bug fixes. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^1.9.0 for TypeScript helper functions, indicating API compatibility in that area. The MIT license ensures continued open-source usage. While the core functionality remains the same, subtle differences exist that might be relevant.
Specifically, version 8.1.0, released on July 2nd, 2019, has a slightly smaller unpacked size (27,887,470 bytes) and fewer files (594) compared to version 8.0.3 (27,725,079 bytes, 608 files) released on June 26th, 2019. This suggests potential optimizations in the compilation process or removal of redundant files. While not explicitly stated, this could translate to slightly faster compilation times or a reduced bundle size for end-users in some scenarios. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog and release notes for detailed information on specific bug fixes and performance enhancements introduced in 8.1.0 that aren't apparent from these metadata excerpts.
