Angular Common, a fundamental package for Angular applications, has seen a recent update from version 15.1.1 to 15.1.2. While the core description remains consistent—providing commonly needed directives and services—a closer look reveals subtle yet potentially impactful changes for developers.
Both versions share a dependency on tslib (version ^2.3.0) and have similar peer dependencies, requiring rxjs (version ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and a matching @angular/core version (15.1.1 and 15.1.2 respectively). This assures compatibility within the Angular ecosystem. They are also licensed under MIT and originate from the same GitHub repository within the Angular project. Both versions also happen to have the same fileCount and unpacked size.
The key difference lies in the @angular/core peer dependency and the release date. Version 15.1.2 requires @angular/core@15.1.2, indicating a synchronized release to ensure core functionalities work harmoniously. The release dates highlight the recency of each version: 2023-01-18T18:11:52.521Z for 15.1.1 and 2023-01-25T16:51:53.209Z for 15.1.2 showcasing ongoing development & maintenance.
For developers, upgrading to 15.1.2 alongside @angular/core@15.1.2 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features (though not explicitly stated here, minor version bumps often include these). While the absence of detailed changelogs makes specific improvements unclear, staying current ensures optimal application stability and alignment with the broader Angular platform.
