React-dom versions 15.2.0 and 15.1.0 are both packages designed to allow React components to interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) in web browsers. While both versions share the same core description and licensing under the BSD-3-Clause license, indicating a commitment to open-source principles, a few key differences exist.
The most apparent difference lies in the version number itself. Version 15.2.0 signifies a newer release compared to 15.1.0 suggesting potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features implemented in the later version. Developers looking for the most up-to-date and refined experience should generally prefer 15.2.0.
Notably, both versions highlight a peerDependencies entry for react. This means that react-dom relies on a specific version of the react package to function correctly. Version 15.2.0 requires react version "^15.2.0" while 15.1.0 requires "^15.1.0". Developers intending to upgrade react-dom should ensure their react package satisfies this peer dependency as well to prevent compatibility issues.
The releaseDate further solidifies the chronology; 15.2.0 was released on July 1, 2016, whereas 15.1.0 came out on May 20, 2016. This temporal separation suggests that 15.2.0 integrates potentially two months of development and community feedback.
