Angular developers should be aware of the recent updates to @angular/common, specifically the jump from version 16.1.2 to 16.1.3. Both versions share the same core description as providing "commonly needed directives and services" for Angular applications, relying on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher for TypeScript utility functions. They also maintain identical peer dependencies, requiring rxjs version 6.5.3 or 7.4.0 and @angular/core aligning with their respective versions. The license remains MIT, and the repository information points to the packages/common directory within the main Angular GitHub repository.
The primary difference lies in the @angular/core peer dependency, updated from 16.1.2 to 16.1.3, and more subtly in the dist attribute. While both versions have a fileCount of 3006, the unpackedSize has increased marginally from 11053066 bytes in 16.1.2 to 11053154 bytes in 16.1.3, coupled with a newer releaseDate of 2023-06-28T15:04:54.463Z (versus 2023-06-21T18:25:49.243Z for the prior version). These differences suggests bug fixes and/or small enhancements rather than substantial new features. Developers should assess if the issues addressed warrant upgrading, prioritizing security patches contained within. When upgrading, ensure @angular/core is also at 16.1.3 for optimal compatibility. It's always recommended to review the official Angular changelog for a detailed breakdown of changes.
