Ant Design (antd) has released version 4.9.0, succeeding the previous stable version 4.8.6. Both versions offer a robust UI design language and React components for enterprise-level applications. Developers relying on React 16.9.0 or later and React DOM of the same version can seamlessly upgrade.
The core difference lies in the dependency updates. Antd 4.9.0 upgrades rc-tree from version ~3.11.0 to ~4.0.0 and rc-select from ~11.4.0 to ~11.5.3. These underlying component library updates likely bring bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features to the Tree and Select Antd components.
Developers should examine the changelogs of rc-tree and rc-select to understand the precise changes. The updated version also incorporates @ant-design/icons at ^4.3.0, indicating recent icon improvements. While minor version bumps often represent incremental improvements, developers should consider regression testing after upgrading to ensure compatibility within their specific applications.
The upgrade also reflects an increased fileCount in the distributed tarball, from 3074 to 3098, and an increase in unpackedSize from 39405500 to 39757543, which might reflect additional assets, or refinements. Developers should consider these metrics when assessing the impact on their build processes and bundle sizes. Ensure you update and test thoroughly to take advantage of the latest features and improvements while maintaining a stable application.
