Angular Animations saw a significant update moving from version 5.2.11 to 6.0.0. This is more than just a minor version bump; it signifies a major release with potentially breaking changes and new features impacting Angular developers. Version 6.0.0 boasts an updated dependency on tslib, requiring at least version 1.9.0, compared to the older 1.7.1 in version 5.2.11. This likely incorporates improvements and bug fixes from the TypeScript helper library. The peer dependency on @angular/core also aligns with the major version, requiring 6.0.0, ensuring compatibility between the animations module and the core Angular framework.
A key difference lies in the distribution package. Version 6.0.0's dist metadata reveals a substantial increase in both fileCount (185 vs 76) and unpackedSize (4366306 vs 2938974). This indicates a larger, potentially more feature-rich library in version 6.0.0, possibly including additional animation capabilities or refined implementations. While the core description remains the same – "Angular - animations integration with web-animationss" – the underlying changes suggest a noticeable evolution. Upgrading developers should carefully review the Angular change logs for breaking changes and newly introduced functionalities in version 6 to ensure a smooth transition and to leverage the latest animation features. The newer version was released before the older one (May 3rd vs May 16th).
