In case this helps, here are some generated source specs for comparison:
file sizes:
-rw-r--r-- 1 dan staff 298619 Jul 24 10:46 7.0.16-generated-source.java
-rw-r--r-- 1 dan staff 300421 Jul 24 10:46 7.0.19-generated-source.java
line counts:
7328 7.0.16-generated-source.java
7331 7.0.19-generated-source.java
They're roughly identical. The diffs are essentially:
3,4c3,7

< private static java.util.List<java.lang.String> _jspx_dependants;
---
> private static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Long>
_jspx_dependants;
...and then the list & map diffs follow. But that's it.
