Angular developers should take note of the latest update to @angular/common, moving from version 20.1.5 to 20.1.6. Both versions provide essential directives and services for Angular applications, built under the MIT license and maintained within the Angular GitHub repository. Both versions depends on tslib in version ^2.3.0. Crucially, compatible versions of RxJS (^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and @angular/core are required as peer dependencies. Version 20.1.6 requires angular core version 20.1.6, while the previous version requires angular core version 20.1.5.
The more recent release, version 20.1.6, was published on August 6, 2025, at 19:03:44 UTC, a few hours after v20.1.5, which came out at 14:37:41 UTC on the same day. The newer version is larger, with a packed size comprising 4071 files and unpacking to 8376138 bytes, in contrast to the previous version's 2917 files and 7787958 bytes. Given the relatively short time between releases and the significant difference in file count and unpacked size, developers should investigate the changelog thoroughly for bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features introduced in 20.1.6. This investigation is crucial to ensure a smooth update process and to leverage any potential benefits the new version offers to Angular projects.
