Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives and services for building Angular applications. Comparing versions 20.0.0 and 19.2.15 reveals subtle but important differences for developers. Both versions share the same core description and licensing under MIT, reflecting Angular's commitment to open-source development. They also maintain a consistent dependency on tslib for TypeScript helper functions. Crucially, the peerDependencies highlight compatibility requirements with rxjs and @angular/core. Both list rxjs versions ^6.5.3 or ^7.4.0 as compatible peer dependencies, suggesting the same range of versions of RxJS is supported for both Angular common versions. However, version 20.0.0 mandates using @angular/core version 20.0.0 while the older 19.2.15 requires @angular/core version 19.2.15. This stricter peer dependency between @angular/core and @angular/common hints to developers that upgrading to version 20.0.0 will also require core updates in the project.
The package sizes, represented by fileCount and unpackedSize, show slight variations, possibly due to minor additions, bug fixes, or optimizations within the library. Although seemingly small, these differences sum up to a considerable quantity that can impact overall bundle optimization. The dates show a slightly less old version for 19.2.15 compared to 20.0.0 but this should be a packaging artefact and not relied on. Developers should always consult official Angular documentation and release notes for a comprehensive understanding of the changes and potential breaking changes when transitioning between versions.
