React version 15.6.2 represents a minor update to the popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, succeeding the 15.6.1 release. Both versions share the same fundamental description: "React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces," highlighting the library's core purpose. Key dependencies such as fbjs, prop-types, loose-envify, object-assign, and create-react-class remain consistent across both versions, suggesting a focus on internal improvements and bug fixes rather than significant architectural changes.
One notable difference lies in the license. While version 15.6.1 is licensed under BSD-3-Clause, version 15.6.2 adopts the MIT license. This is an important point for developers concerning usage rights and potential restrictions within larger projects. The versions share the same repository, indicating a continuous development process within the Facebook React team.
The release dates are also distinct, with version 15.6.1 being released on June 15, 2017, and version 15.6.2 following on September 26, 2017. This three-month gap suggests that developers might find bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor feature additions in the 15.6.2 version. Always consult the official React changelog for a complete understanding of introduced changes. Both packages are available through the npm registry accessible via their respective tarball URLs.
