Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives and services for building Angular applications. Comparing versions 10.1.0 and 10.0.14 reveals subtle yet important distinctions relevant to developers. Both versions share the same base dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.0.0 and peer dependencies on rxjs (version 6.5.3 or higher) and the corresponding @angular/core version. Crucially, version 10.1.0 necessitates @angular/core version 10.1.0, while version 10.0.14 requires @angular/core version 10.0.14. This highlights the inherent compatibility demands between @angular/common and @angular/core; developers must ensure alignment between these core packages.
The primary difference lies in the versioning itself, indicating bug fixes, performance improvements, or potentially new features introduced in 10.1.0. While both versions have a similar number of files included (2865), version 10.1.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 12769101 bytes, compared to 12767517 bytes in 10.0.14 which may suggest addition of features or assets. Developers considering an upgrade should investigate the official Angular changelog for a comprehensive breakdown of changes introduced in 10.1.0. Furthermore, the release dates differ – 2020-09-02 for 10.1.0 and 2020-08-26 for 10.0.14—giving a clear indication of the newer version, with the usual bug fixes and small improvements of a minor release. Generally, upgrading to the latest minor version within a major release (like moving from 10.0.x to 10.1.0) is recommended to benefit from the newest features, performance improvements, and bug fixes, keeping code modern and performant.
