Angular developers will find the jump from @angular/common version 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 a relatively small but potentially important update. Both versions, designed as part of the Angular framework, offer essential directives and services crucial for building robust web applications. Dependency-wise, both rely on tslib (version ^1.7.1) for TypeScript helper functions, and require peer dependencies of rxjs (^5.5.0) for reactive programming and @angular/core. The key distinction lies within the @angular/core peer dependency. Version 5.1.1 necessitates @angular/core version 5.1.1, while the newer 5.1.2 requires @angular/core version 5.1.2. This means updating to @angular/common@5.1.2 necessitates updating the core of your angular app to version 5.1.2.
The update likely addresses bug fixes and minor improvements directly related to the core functionality of Angular. Developers should upgrade to ensure compatibility and benefit from the latest refinements within the Angular ecosystem. Before upgrading, carefully review the Angular changelog for versions 5.1.2 to understand the specific changes and resolve any potential breaking changes or deprecation warnings, ensuring a smooth transition and optimal performance of your existing Angular projects. Finally the release date for version 5.1.2 appears to be one week later than its predecessor.
