Angular developers relying on the @angular/common package have seen a recent update with the release of version 18.2.4, succeeding the previous stable version 18.2.3. While both versions share the same core description and dependencies like tslib, subtle yet possibly impactful differences exist. Both versions share the same peer dependencies of rxjs (version 6.5.3 or 7.4.0) and angular core, but version 18.2.4 relies on angular core 18.2.4, while version 18.2.3 relies on angular core 18.2.3.
The increment in version number (18.2.3 to 18.2.4) suggests that the update includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature additions rather than major API breaking changes. The slightly larger unpackedSize of version 18.2.4 (11460770 bytes vs 11460670 bytes) hints at potential code-level adjustments, though the fileCount remains the same, meaning there are no new files added.
The release dates provide a timeline, with version 18.2.4 released on September 11, 2024, following version 18.2.3, which was released on September 4, 2024. Developers should review the Angular changelog and release notes for a comprehensive list of specific changes incorporated in version 18.2.4 to determine if the update addresses any known issues or introduces improvements relevant to their projects. Especially if the developers are using new capabilities from angular core version 18.2.4, they will want to migrate to @angular/common version 18.2.4 to have the most recent compatible version.
