Angular developers relying on Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation in the browser should note the subtle changes introduced in @angular/platform-browser-dynamic between versions 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. This library is a crucial component for bootstrapping Angular applications directly within the browser, enabling dynamic code generation.
While both versions share identical descriptions and licensing terms (MIT), the key difference lies in their peer dependencies and release date. Version 4.0.2 depends on @angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/compiler, and @angular/platform-browser all at version 4.0.2. Similarly, version 4.0.1 requires the same packages but at version 4.0.1. This indicates that the update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 is likely a patch or minor release addressing bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor feature additions within the core Angular ecosystem.
The release dates offer further insights. Version 4.0.1 appeared on March 29, 2017, with version 4.0.2 following on April 11, 2017, suggesting a relatively short interval between releases. Developers upgrading from 4.0.1 should carefully review the Angular changelog corresponding to these versions to understand the specific changes implemented. Keeping your @angular/platform-browser-dynamic dependency aligned with the rest of your Angular core packages ensures stability and avoids potential compatibility issues. Always test your application thoroughly after updating any Angular package.
