Angular Animations version 4.4.4 represents a subtle but important update over its predecessor, version 4.4.3. Both versions provide the core animation functionalities for Angular applications, enabling developers to create engaging and dynamic user interfaces with web animations. They share the same fundamental structure, relying on 'tslib' for TypeScript helper functions and licensed under the MIT license. The key difference lies in the peer dependency: version 4.4.4 is designed to work specifically with Angular core version 4.4.4, while version 4.4.3 requires Angular core version 4.4.3.
This seemingly minor change suggests bug fixes, performance improvements or small features within Angular core that necessitate a compatible animation library. Hence, developers should ensure that their @angular/core and @angular/animations versions are aligned which in our case means upgrading both to 4.4.4 to avoid potential compatibility issues. The update, released on September 28, 2017, followed version 4.4.3, which was deployed nine days earlier, on September 19, 2017. Developers using Angular for their web applications and looking to leverage animations should always refer to the official Angular documentation for detailed migration guides and breaking changes when updating between versions. This will ensure a smooth transition and optimal performance of their animated components.
