Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives and services for building Angular applications. Comparing versions 12.0.1 and 12.0.2 reveals subtle but potentially important distinctions for developers. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib and peer dependencies rxjs and @angular/core. The license remains MIT, and the repository information points to the Angular GitHub project.
While the number of files included in the distributed package (fileCount) is identical at 2857, a key difference lies in the unpackedSize. Version 12.0.2 has an unpacked size of 12250474 bytes, slightly larger than version 12.0.1's 12244992 bytes. This increase, though seemingly minor, suggests changes in the compiled code.
The release dates also highlight a distinction: version 12.0.2 was released on May 26, 2021, a week after version 12.0.1, released on May 19, 2021. This likely indicates bug fixes or minor feature additions implemented in 12.0.2. For developers, While the changes are not significant the difference in size could be helpful to understand the update. Ensure that you have the correct version of @angular/core as a peer dependency, this is cruicial for compatibility. Generally developers should update to patch versions for the last bug fixes
