Angular's @angular/common package, essential for building Angular applications, saw a version bump from 13.3.2 to 13.3.3 in April 2022. While both versions share the same core description, dependencies on tslib, MIT license, and repository details, a closer look reveals subtle yet potentially impactful differences for developers.
The most immediate distinction lies in the @angular/core peer dependency. Version 13.3.3 explicitly requires @angular/core at version 13.3.3, aligning the two packages exactly. In contrast, version 13.3.2 peer dependency was on the @angular/core of the same version. This precise alignment in 13.3.3 suggests targeted fixes or enhancements that leverage specific capabilities of @angular/core@13.3.3, ensuring optimal compatibility and preventing potential unexpected behaviors.
Beyond this core dependency synchronization, the unpacked size of the package experienced a very minor increase, growing from 11,384,612 bytes in 13.3.2 to 11,384,710 bytes in 13.3.3. This slight inflation, alongside the one-week gap between the release dates (April 6th vs. April 13th), points to internal improvements, bug fixes, or potentially very small feature additions that collectively contribute to the increased size. Although the fileCount did not change, signifying structural stability was kept. Developers seeking the most stable and reliable experience should upgrade to version 13.3.3 to benefit from these under-the-hood refinements and ensure their application is aligned with the latest standards and fixes within the Angular ecosystem.
