Angular Forms version 5.0.1 is a minor patch release over the previous stable version 5.0.0, focusing primarily on bug fixes and small improvements rather than introducing significant new features. Both versions provide the core directives and services necessary for building a wide range of forms within Angular applications, from simple templates to complex reactive forms. Developers leverage these versions to handle user input, validation, and data binding, simplifying the process of creating interactive and user-friendly interfaces.
The key difference lies in the underlying dependencies. While both rely on tslib and share the same peer dependencies for rxjs, @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser, version 5.0.1 is explicitly aligned with version 5.0.1 of the Angular core, common, and platform-browser packages, whereas 5.0.0 declares peer dependency for version 5.0.0 of those packages. This ensures compatibility and avoids potential conflicts, which is particularly important when updating existing Angular projects. Developers should prefer upgrading to 5.0.1 for enhanced stability and compatibility within the Angular 5 ecosystem. Released on November 8, 2017, version 5.0.1 addresses issues discovered after the initial 5.0.0 release on November 1, 2017, making it a recommended upgrade for projects targeting Angular 5. The patch includes fixes that contribute to greater application reliability and a smoother developer experience when working with Angular Forms.
