Angular Animations, a core module within the Angular framework, provides developers with the tools to create visually engaging and dynamic user interfaces. Examining versions 16.1.0 and 16.0.6 reveals subtle but potentially important differences for developers using this animation library. Both versions share the same fundamental characteristics: integration with web-animations, a dependency on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher for TypeScript helper functions, and a peer dependency on @angular/core to ensure compatibility within the Angular ecosystem. The licensing remains consistent under the MIT license.
The key difference lies in the specific version of @angular/core that each animation package expects as a peer dependency. Version 16.1.0 requires @angular/core version 16.1.0, suggesting a tight coupling and potential reliance on features or bug fixes introduced in that specific Angular core release. Similarly, version 16.0.6 mandates @angular/core 16.0.6 as a peer dependency.
Interestingly, the unpacked size of the tarball differs slightly, with version 16.0.6 being marginally larger(1688273) than version 16.1.0(1688110) but the file count it's the same(61). This could be attributed to minor code changes, optimization or updated documentation, although insignificant. Considering both were released with an interval of 10 minutes, this is likely to be a hotfix. Developers should carefully consider their Angular core version when installing @angular/animations to avoid compatibility issues and ensure that they take advantages of the latest features and bug fixes.
