Angular developers considering an upgrade from @angular/common version 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 should be aware of the subtle but potentially important differences between the two. Both versions provide essential directives and services for building Angular applications, under the permissive MIT license, maintaining dependency on tslib version 1.7.1 or higher for TypeScript helper functions. They also share compatibility with RxJS version 5.5.0 and utilize the same GitHub repository.
The most notable difference lies in their peer dependency on @angular/core. Version 5.0.0 strictly requires @angular/core version 5.0.0. In contrast, version 5.0.1 expects @angular/core to be at version 5.0.1, suggesting a tight coupling between the core Angular framework and the common module. This indicates that version 5.0.1 likely includes bug fixes or enhancements specifically tailored to work with @angular/core 5.0.1.
Developers should upgrade to @angular/common 5.0.1 if they are also using @angular/core 5.0.1 to ensure compatibility and potentially benefit from the latest improvements. The release date difference of approximately one week further suggests that version 5.0.1 is a patch release addressing issues found in the initial 5.0.0 version. Reviewing the Angular changelog for that period is advised to understand the precise nature of the changes incorporated in the newer version and determine if they address specific challenges encountered in existing projects.
