React-dom versions 16.14.0 and 16.13.1 represent incremental updates to the React package responsible for interacting with the Document Object Model (DOM). Both versions share a common foundation, using the same core dependencies like scheduler for task prioritization, prop-types for runtime type checking, loose-envify for environment variable substitution, and object-assign for object property copying. They are licensed under the MIT license and maintained within the Facebook React repository.
The key difference lies in their version numbers and release dates. Version 16.14.0 was released on October 14, 2020, subsequent to version 16.13.1, which was released on March 19, 2020. These dates are important for developers managing dependencies and troubleshooting issues. Package size also differs slightly. Version 16.14.0 has an unpacked size of 2996698 bytes, which is only negligibly bigger than 16.13.1's unpacked size of 2996592 bytes.
Furthermore, the peer dependency specified for react itself differs. Version 16.14.0 requires React version ^16.14.0, while version 16.13.1 requires React version ^16.13.1. This signifies that upgrading to react-dom@16.14.0 necessitates a corresponding upgrade of the core React library to version 16.14.0 to ensure compatibility and avoid potential runtime errors. Typically, such minor version bumps include bug fixes, performance improvements, and possibly new minor features, making the newer version generally preferable if the corresponding React upgrade is feasible. Developers should consult the official React changelog for a detailed list of changes included in the 16.14.0 release.
