Angular Animations version 8.2.0 is a minor release following the 8.1.3 version, both designed to integrate animation capabilities within Angular applications, leveraging the Web Animations API. While both versions share a foundational dependency on tslib for TypeScript helpers and are licensed under MIT, there are subtle yet noteworthy differences.
The primary distinction lies in their peer dependency requirement for @angular/core. Version 8.2.0 mandates @angular/core version 8.2.0, aligning the animations package with the corresponding core Angular release. Conversely, version 8.1.3 necessitates @angular/core version 8.1.3. This highlights the importance of maintaining synchronized versions between @angular/animations and @angular/core to ensure compatibility and prevent potential runtime errors.
Another difference appears in the unpackedSize of the packages. Version 8.2.0 is slightly larger, unpacked to 4,598,728 bytes, compared to version 8.1.3, which unpacks to 4,596,537 bytes. Although the file count remains constant at 141 files, this indicates a minor change in the code or assets included in the newer version. The release dates also reflects the incremental nature of the update, with 8.2.0 published just a few days after 8.1.3. Developers should upgrade to 8.2.0 for the latest fixes and features aligned with Angular core 8.2.0, but the practical implications should be related to bug fixes or small improvements.
