Angular core version 4.1.0 introduces incremental improvements and refinements over the 4.0.3 release, focusing on stability and developer experience within the Angular ecosystem. While both versions share fundamental characteristics like requiring RxJS 5.0.1 and Zone.js 0.8.4 as peer dependencies for reactive programming and asynchronous task management, respectively, the key distinction lies in the subtle enhancements incorporated into the newer version.
Version 4.1.0, released on April 26, 2017, benefits from a few days of practical application and bug reporting compared to version 4.0.3 which was released on April 21, 2017. Although the given data snippets don't detail specific feature additions or bug fixes, a jump from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0 typically signifies that the new release contains a collection of patches, performance optimizations, and potentially minor API adjustments designed to improve the reliability and efficiency of Angular applications. Developers should consider upgrading to 4.1.0 to leverage these cumulative improvements. Even if the changes don't dramatically add features, relying on the newest stable version is recommended for a robust development process. The newer version should not have any breaking changes, that would have resulted in version 5.0.0.
