Angular Common versions 12.2.16 and 12.2.15 represent incremental updates to Angular's essential directives and services. Both versions share the same fundamental characteristics: they depend on tslib version 2.2.0 or higher and are peer-dependent on rxjs versions 6.5.3 or 7.0.0 and @angular/core respectively. The core functionalities and license (MIT), repository details, author (angular), file count (2867), and unpacked size (11571409) remain unchanged. Therefore, the migration between the two versions should be seamless with minimal risk and no breaking changes.
The main difference resides in the @angular/core peer dependency version, reflecting a tight coupling between @angular/common and its core framework. Version 12.2.16 aligns with Angular core version 12.2.16, while version 12.2.15 requires Angular core version 12.2.15. Crucially, version 12.2.16 was released on January 27, 2022, a month later than version 12.2.15 which was released on December 15, 2021. Developers should prioritize upgrading to @angular/common version 12.2.16, especially if they are already using or planning to use Angular core version 12.2.16, to ensure compatibility and benefit from any bug fixes or performance improvements included in the newer @angular/core release, even if not explicitly stated in @angular/common. The newer version is more likely to incorporate recent security and dependencies updates.
