Angular Animations received a minor version bump from 12.2.11 to 12.2.12, representing a potentially incremental update to the animation capabilities within the Angular framework. Both versions share the same core description, indicating a continued focus on integrating animations through the Web Animations API. The versions depend on the same tslib version (^2.2.0) which means that the Typescript library used to provide helper functions for Typescript may receive compatible updates within the 2.2.0 minor release. The peerDependencies specification highlights that @angular/core must be at the corresponding version (12.2.11 or 12.2.12), which enforces compatibility between the animations module and the core Angular framework. The file count (79) and unpackedSize (2422195) appear identical between the versions, suggesting that the scale of changes might be small and targeted at bug fixing or minor enhancements.
Developers should always prefer to update to the latest stable version (12.2.12 in this case) to receive the newest fixes and features. Upgrading from Angular 12.2.11 to 12.2.12 should be relatively straightforward, but check the Angular changelogs for details of any specific bug fixes or new features which prompted the new release. Given everything else is equal updating is recommended in case of bugs or performance improvements.
