Angular developers will find the latest version of @angular/common, version 18.2.7, presents a subtle but potentially important update compared to its predecessor, version 18.2.6. Both versions share the same core description, providing commonly needed directives and services for Angular applications. The dependency on tslib remains consistent at ^2.3.0, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript helper functions. Peer dependencies also hold steady, requiring rxjs versions ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0 and @angular/core aligned with their respective @angular/common version, ensuring compatibility within the Angular ecosystem.
The key differences lie in the details of the distribution package and release timing. Version 18.2.7, released on October 2, 2024, comprises 3016 files with an unpacked size of 11,473,706 bytes. In contrast, version 18.2.6, released on September 25, 2024, contains 3015 files with an unpacked size of 11,465,843 bytes. This suggests that version 18.2.7 includes one additional file and a slightly larger unpacked size. While the exact nature of the changes is not immediately apparent from this metadata alone, developers should investigate the changelog for @angular/common 18.2.7 to understand the specific bug fixes, performance improvements, or added features that justify the bump in version and increased file count and the unpacked size. This is especially crucial for teams adopting the latest version in existing projects. While seemingly minor, it could contain critical patches.
