Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives, pipes, and services for building Angular applications. Version 16.0.2, released on May 17, 2023, follows closely on the heels of version 16.0.1, published on May 10, 2023. Both versions share the same core description, declaring themselves as the provider of "commonly needed directives and services" within the Angular framework. They both depend on tslib version ^2.3.0 and have identical peer dependencies, requiring rxjs version ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0 and a corresponding @angular/core version that matches their own (16.0.1 or 16.0.2 respectively). The library is released under the MIT license and maintained in the packages/common directory of the official Angular GitHub repository.
While seemingly similar, a subtle shift exists in the package's unpacked size. Version 16.0.2 indicates a slightly smaller footprint of 10,999,280 bytes compared to version 16.0.1's 11,001,000 bytes, even though they report sharing the same number of files. This may indicate micro-optimizations in the build process or small bug fixes. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog to understand the specific adjustments between these minor releases. The newer version includes any potential fixes or improvements implemented in the week between the versions. Always check the update notes to keep your Angular applications running smoothly.
