Angular developers looking to leverage the foundational directives and services provided by @angular/common will find key differences, and therefore considerations, when choosing between versions 4.2.3 and 4.2.4. Both versions share the same core description, serving as essential components for Angular applications, and both list tslib version "^1.7.1" as a dependency, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript helper functions. They also each use an MIT license and are maintained by the Angular team, hosted on GitHub.
The primary difference lies in their peerDependencies. Version 4.2.3 explicitly declares @angular/core version "4.2.3" as a peer dependency, while version 4.2.4 requires @angular/core version "4.2.4". This means developers upgrading to @angular/common@4.2.4 *must* also upgrade their @angular/core dependency to 4.2.4 to avoid potential version conflicts and ensure smooth operation within their Angular project.
Furthermore, the release dates highlight the recency of each version. Version 4.2.3 was released on June 16, 2017, while version 4.2.4 followed shortly after on June 22, 2017. The quick release of 4.2.4 suggests it likely incorporates bug fixes or minor enhancements specifically addressing issues present in or emerging after the release of 4.2.3; however, lack of formal changelog prevents analysis. Therefore, developers should consider the impact of this core peer dependency shift when selecting the appropriate version for their Angular projects. Failure to align @angular/core and @angular/common versions as specified can lead to runtime errors and unexpected behavior.
