Vue Template Compiler version 2.0.1 represents a minor patch release over the preceding 2.0.0. While both versions share the same fundamental description as a template compiler for Vue 2.0 and identical dependencies—de-indent for code de-indentation and entities for HTML entity encoding—the key difference lies in the timing of their releases. Version 2.0.1 was published just a few hours after version 2.0.0, suggesting that it addresses a bug fix or a small refinement identified shortly after the initial release of the 2.0.0 version.
For developers utilizing the Vue Template Compiler, this increment signifies the project's commitment to stability and rapid response to potential issues. Given the minimal gap between releases, the changes are unlikely to introduce breaking behavior. Therefore, upgrading to 2.0.1 is recommended to benefit from the latest refinements and ensure compatibility. Both versions rely on the same core dependencies, indicating the stability of the core compilation processes. If no issues present themselves the 2.0.0 should be perfectly fine still. Checking the commit history between this 2 versions is advisable. The packages are licensed under the MIT license allowing for highly flexible usage and integrating and both point to the official Vue.js GitHub repository.
