Angular Common's version 12.1.3 introduces subtle yet significant changes compared to its predecessor, 12.1.2. Both versions share the same core description: providing commonly needed directives and services for Angular applications. The dependencies remain consistent, relying on tslib version ^2.2.0. Crucially, the peer dependencies also mirror each other, requiring rxjs version ^6.5.3 and aligning themselves to corresponding @angular/core versions (12.1.3 and 12.1.2 respectively). The MIT license, repository location on GitHub and author information remains untouched.
Interestingly, despite an updated version, the fileCount and unpackedSize also remain identical across both versions, suggesting that any changes are likely focused on code optimizations, bug fixes, or targeted feature enhancements rather than substantial additions to the codebase size. The key differentiator lies in the releaseDate: version 12.1.3 became available on July 21, 2021, a week after version 12.1.2. This minor version bump implies that developers should consider upgrading to 12.1.3 primarily for bug fixes, security patches, or incremental improvements that don't introduce breaking changes. For developers already using 12.1.2, upgrading to 12.1.3 represents a low-risk strategy to ensure they are running the most up-to-date and reliable version of Angular Common.
