Svelte 5.0.1 is a minor patch release following the major release of Svelte 5.0.0, both focusing on providing developers with a "cybernetically enhanced" experience in building web applications. Both versions share the same core dependencies like acorn, esrap, and magic-string, underpinning Svelte's compilation process. Similarly, the development dependencies, including crucial tools like rollup, vitest, and typescript, remain consistent, ensuring a familiar development environment.
The key distinctions lie in the release specifics. Svelte 5.0.1 was released shortly after version 5.0.0, on October 19, 2024, at 20:58:29 UTC, while 5.0.0 was released on the same day at 16:45:12 UTC. This suggests that Svelte 5.0.1 likely incorporates bug fixes or minor enhancements identified immediately after the initial 5.0.0 release. The unpacked size in dist shows 5.0.1 to be slightly larger, with a file size of 2283800 compared to Svelte 5.0.0 with 2282667, this might give a hint to where the patch was done.
For developers, this means that while migrating to Svelte 5.0.0 offers access to the significant architectural changes and performance improvements expected from a major version, adopting Svelte 5.0.1 builds upon this foundation by providing a more polished and refined experience. If upgrading, it's advisable to opt for Svelte 5.0.1 to benefit from potential immediate fixes. Both versions continue to be licensed under MIT and are hosted on GitHub, encouraging community contributions and transparency.
