Angular's @angular/common package, a cornerstone for building robust applications, saw a minor version bump from 10.0.12 to 10.0.13. Both versions share the same core description, providing commonly needed directives and services for Angular development. They depend on tslib version 2.0.0 or higher and declare rxjs version 6.5.3 and @angular/core as peer dependencies, indicating compatibility and reliance on these packages. The licensing remains MIT, and the source code resides in the packages/common directory within the main Angular repository. Both packages, as distributed, contain a substantial number of files (2865) resulting in unpacked size exceeding 12MB.
The key difference lies in their release dates. Version 10.0.13 was published on August 26, 2020, while version 10.0.12 dates back to August 24, 2020. This suggests that version 10.0.13 likely includes bug fixes, or very minor enhancements implemented following the 10.0.12 release. Developers should consider this latest version for updated stability. Because the peer dependency of @angular/core is explicitly listed as the exact version, Angular developers using @angular/core version 10.0.13 are better off using @angular/common version 10.0.13, and the same applies for version 10.0.12. When upgrading, it's always prudent to review the Angular changelog and release notes for detailed information on the specific changes included in version 10.0.13, even if they appear minor.
