Angular Common version 11.2.8 represents a minor patch release following version 11.2.7, primarily aimed at delivering bug fixes and incremental improvements rather than introducing groundbreaking new features. Both versions share the same core functionality, providing developers with essential directives and services crucial for building Angular applications. They both rely on the tslib dependency for TypeScript helper functions and maintain compatibility with RxJS version 6.5.3 and Angular Core, requiring version 11.2.x from the core framework.
A key difference lies in the @angular/core peer dependency constraints: 11.2.8 depends on @angular/core:11.2.8 while 11.2.7 depends on @angular/core:11.2.7. This means that users of Angular Common 11.2.8 should update their @angular/core to 11.2.8 as well
The distribution details, including the file count and unpacked size, are identical between the two versions indicating that the codebases after build are the same, suggesting that changes will be contained within the packages code. It is essential to check the Angular changelog for a detailed list of specific bug fixes and improvements introduced in version 11.2.8, to determine whether the update is crucial for addressing particular issues encountered in previous projects. While both versions are licensed under MIT and maintained by the Angular team, ensure you're always using the latest compatible versions of Angular and its dependencies for optimal performance, security, and stability within your applications. Considering these patch releases mainly consist of important fixes we recommend always updating to the latest version to achieve the best and most consistent experience.
