Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular Common version 11.2.4 represents a minor update to the Angular framework's common utilities, building upon the solid foundation of version 11.2.3. Both versions, vital for Angular developers, offer essential directives and services necessary for building robust and dynamic web applications. Key functionalities within the @angular/common package encompass internationalization (i18n), localization (l10n), date, number, and currency formatting, and essential directives such as NgFor and NgIf for dynamic template rendering. Both versions share the same core dependencies including tslib which ensures compatibility with TypeScript. Peer dependencies remain focused on rxjs (version ^6.5.3) for reactive programming and @angular/core, aligning with their respective Angular core versions (11.2.4 and 11.2.3 respectively).

The primary discernible difference lies in the version of @angular/core specified as a peer dependency. While version 11.2.3 requires @angular/core version 11.2.3, the newer 11.2.4 version naturally mandates @angular/core version 11.2.4. This implies that developers upgrading to @angular/common@11.2.4 should also upgrade their @angular/core package to maintain compatibility and avoid potential runtime issues. Developers should note a minor increase in the unpacked size of the tarball, going from 12,833,762 bytes in version 11.2.3 to 12,837,630 bytes in 11.2.4; which hints that minor code changes, bug fixes, or performance improvements have been introduced in the later version. The release date also highlights the recency of 11.2.4, indicating refinements and updates incorporated since the release of 11.2.3.
