Angular Common version 16.2.1 represents a minor update to the widely used @angular/common package, building upon the functionality offered in the previous stable version, 16.2.0. Both versions provide essential directives and services crucial for building Angular applications. Key functionalities include internationalization (i18n), localization (l10n), and utilities for interacting with the browser's DOM. Developers rely on @angular/common for handling dates, numbers, currencies, and other locale-specific data, making it a cornerstone for creating globally accessible applications.
A notable difference between the two versions lies in the increased unpacked size of version 16.2.1, which is slightly larger than version 16.2.0, indicating added features, bug fixes, or performance improvements. The peer dependencies remain consistent, requiring RxJS version ^6.5.3 or ^7.4.0 and a corresponding @angular/core version (16.2.1 for @angular/common@16.2.1 & 16.2.0 for @angular/common@16.2.0). This highlights the importance of maintaining compatible versions across your Angular project. Angular developers should always check the changelog between versions to see what has changed.
Because minor version was bumped, developers can expect that upgrading to newer version 16.2.1 should be safe, as there should be no breaking changes.
