Angular's @angular/common package, a fundamental component for building Angular applications, has released version 20.1.2, a minor update following 20.1.1. Both versions share the same core description: "Angular - commonly needed directives and services," highlighting their role in providing essential tools for developers.
A key difference lies in the peer dependency on @angular/core. Version 20.1.2 depends on @angular/core version 20.1.2 while version 20.1.1 depends on @angular/core version 20.1.1. Developers should ensure their @angular/core dependency aligns with the @angular/common version they choose to install. The dependency on rxjs remains consistent across both versions, accepting versions "^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0," ensuring compatibility with a range of RxJS versions
The dist object holds interesting differences. While the fileCount is the same (4071) for both versions, the unpackedSize increases from 8,373,296 bytes in 20.1.1 to 8,374,146 bytes in 20.1.2, suggesting minor internal changes or additions to the package's contents. The release dates also highlight the recency of these versions, with 20.1.2 released on 2025-07-17 and 20.1.1 on 2025-07-16.
Developers upgrading from 20.1.1 to 20.1.2 should, therefore, be aware of the change in unpacked size if this could affect them and ensure compatibility of @angular/core if they want to upgrade to version 20.1.2. For new projects, using the latest version is generally recommended to benefit from the most recent fixes and improvements.
