Angular developers leveraging @angular/platform-browser-dynamic to bootstrap their applications with Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation should be aware of the subtle but important differences between versions 18.1.0 and 18.1.1. While both versions share the same core functionality, description, dependencies on tslib, and peer dependencies across the Angular ecosystem (@angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/compiler, @angular/platform-browser), the key distinction lies in their release date and potentially bug fixes or minor improvements introduced in the later version. Version 18.1.0 was released on July 10, 2024, whereas version 18.1.1 followed a week later, on July 17, 2024.
Given the minimal version increment and close release dates, the update from 18.1.0 to 18.1.1 likely encompasses bug fixes, performance tweaks, or security patches. Developers already using 18.1.0 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 18.1.1 to benefit from these potential enhancements and ensure they are running the most stable and secure version of the library. For new projects, it's always best practice to utilize the latest version (18.1.1 in this case) to start with the most up-to-date codebase. Check the Angular changelog for specific details on the changes introduced in 18.1.1 to fully understand the benefits of upgrading.
