Angular developers considering updates to the @angular/common package should be aware of the relatively minor changes between versions 13.0.1 and 13.0.2. Both versions share the same core description, providing essential directives and services for Angular applications and declare tslib as a dependency and rxjs and @angular/core as peer dependencies, ensuring compatibility with existing Angular projects. The file count and unpacked size are identical suggesting a very minor internal refactoring or bugfixes.
The key difference lies in the release date: version 13.0.2 was published on November 17, 2021, a week after version 13.0.1 which was published on November 10, 2021. This suggests that version 13.0.2 likely addresses bug fixes or minor improvements identified shortly after the 13.0.1 release. While the identical unpacked size and file count point towards a non-feature release, the update likely provides increased stability and reliability.
Developers already using Angular 13.0.1 should consider upgrading to 13.0.2 to benefit from these improvements. The update should be seamless for most projects, given the preservation of peer dependencies and core functionality. Newly initiated Angular 13 projects should, of course, directly adopt version 13.0.2 as the more current and potentially more stable option. Checking the Angular changelog is advisable for explicit details about bugfixes for that specific version, to determine if the upgrade addresses particular issues encountered in your project.
