Angular developers looking to leverage Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation within their browser-based applications should take note of the subtle yet significant differences between versions 15.1.5 and 15.1.4 of the @angular/platform-browser-dynamic package. Both versions, essential for bootstrapping Angular applications in the browser, share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions. Crucially, they also maintain identical fileCount and unpackedSize attributes in their distribution packages, hinting at code-level optimisations or bug fixes rather than substantial feature additions.
The key distinction lies in the peer dependencies and release dates. Version 15.1.5 requires specific peer versions of other core Angular modules which are @angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/compiler, and @angular/platform-browser also at version 15.1.5, indicating a synchronization across the Angular ecosystem. Similarly, version 15.1.4 requires version 15.1.4 of the angular core packages. The update to 15.1.5, released on February 15, 2023, followed the previous release (15.1.4) on February 8, 2023. Developers should upgrade to 15.1.5 to ensure compatibility and stability within the broader Angular framework. While the code size and dependencies remain consistent, these point releases likely address specific issues identified in the preceding version, offering a more refined and robust JIT compilation experience. Keeping up to date ensures that your application benefits from the continuous improvements and resolves any potential vulnerabilities.
