Angular developers will find a subtle but potentially important update in the jump from @angular/common version 14.2.4 to 14.2.5. Both versions, described as providing "commonly needed directives and services" for Angular applications, share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher. They also maintain identical peer dependency requirements for rxjs (versions 6.5.3 or 7.4.0 and above) and @angular/core. Key here is the peer dependency to @angular/core, the most important package for Angular developers, which advances from version 14.2.4 to 14.2.5.
The license remains MIT, and the code originates from the official Angular GitHub repository. While the fileCount in the distributed package is unchanged at 3008, there's a minor increase in unpackedSize, growing from 12123465 to 12123559. The most tangible difference is the release date; version 14.2.5 was published on October 5, 2022, following version 14.2.4 published on September 28, 2022.
Developers should assess the upgrade primarily based on the corresponding @angular/core update, as any functional changes or bug fixes introduced in @angular/core 14.2.5 will inherently impact the @angular/common package. This is because @angular/common is tightly integrated with the core framework. Given the small sequential version number change, the update likely contains bug fixes and minor enhancements rather than substantial new features.
