Angular/common versions 12.2.13 and 12.2.12 represent incremental updates to Angular's foundational directives and services, crucial for building robust web applications. Both versions share the same core structure, dependencies, and licensing under the MIT license. They depend on tslib version ^2.2.0 for TypeScript helper functions and have peer dependencies on rxjs (^6.5.3 || ^7.0.0) and @angular/core. A key difference lies with the compatible @angular/core peer dependency versions, where version 12.2.13 requires @angular/core version 12.2.13 while version 12.2.12 requires @angular/core version 12.2.12.

Version 12.2.13 exhibits a slightly larger unpacked size of 11571409 bytes compared to 11570202 bytes in version 12.2.12. This increment, while small, suggest enhancements or bug fixes which may have involved slight code modifications. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog for a detailed breakdown of specific bug fixes, performance improvements, or feature additions included in 12.2.13, as this information is the most reliable source for understanding the nuanced changes.
The release date also highlights the recency of version 12.2.13, indicating that it's the more up-to-date option. Upgrading to the latest patch ensures that developers can leverage the most recent improvements and fixes, contributing to long term stability when building with Angular.
