Angular Common package version 16.1.4 offers a subtle yet potentially significant update compared to its preceding version, 16.1.3. Both versions, designed to provide essential directives and services for Angular applications, share a common foundation, including dependencies like tslib and peer dependencies on rxjs (versions ^6.5.3 or ^7.4.0) and @angular/core. One can see that both packages depends on the same version of tslib: ^2.3.0. They are both released under the MIT license and originate from the Angular GitHub repository.
A key distinction lies in the required peer dependency of @angular/core. Version 16.1.4 mandates @angular/core@16.1.4, whereas version 16.1.3 is dependent on @angular/core@16.1.3. This indicates that version 16.1.4 includes updates specifically tailored for compatibility with @angular/core@16.1.4, suggesting potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or feature enhancements within the core framework that the Common package leverages. Developers should upgrade @angular/core and @angular/common together to 16.1.4 so as to have all related packages synced. Since, fileCount and unpackedSize are identical, the update does not bring changes as concerns the resources. The most recent release was on July 6th, 2023, roughly a week and a half after the 16.1.3 release. Developers should assess the specific changes incorporated in @angular/core@16.1.4 to understand the full scope of the update and determine if the upgrade is necessary for their projects, especially if they've encountered issues addressed in the newer core version.
