@angular/animations version 6.0.8 is a minor release following 6.0.7, both providing animation capabilities within the Angular framework, specifically designed for integration with web-animations. Both versions maintain the same core dependencies, relying on "tslib":"^1.9.0" for TypeScript helper functions and are licensed under the MIT license, making them suitable for a wide range of projects. They also share the same origin and repository, hosted on the official Angular GitHub repository. A notable difference lies in their peer dependency, where version 6.0.8 requires "@angular/core":"6.0.8" ensuring compatibility with the corresponding core Angular version, while version 6.0.7 requires "@angular/core":"6.0.7".
A key upgrade for developers in version 6.0.8 would be the increase in the unpacked size, slightly larger at 4,442,045 bytes compared to 4,407,337 bytes in version 6.0.7 suggesting potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or possibly added features within the animation library itself. Developers seeking the most up-to-date and potentially enhanced animation functionalities within their Angular 6 projects should opt for version 6.0.8, aligning their @angular/core dependency accordingly. The release dates also highlight the recency of each version, 6.0.8 being published on July 11, 2018 and 6.0.7 published on June 28, 2018 indicating a relatively short time span between the releases and the potential urgency of the updates included in version 6.0.8.
