Version 6.0.0 Details

@angular/common version 6.0.0 represents a significant update from version 5.2.11, bringing crucial changes for Angular developers. While both versions provide essential directives and services for building Angular applications, the key differences lie in their dependencies and release timelines. Version 6.0.0 depends on tslib version '^1.9.0' and requires rxjs version '^6.0.0' and @angular/core version '6.0.0' as peer dependencies, reflecting a move towards newer versions of these core libraries. In contrast, version 5.2.11 relies on tslib '^1.7.1', rxjs '^5.5.0', and @angular/core '5.2.11', indicating it supports an older ecosystem.

Notably, version 6.0.0 was released on May 3, 2018, while version 5.2.11 was released on May 16, 2018, meaning 5.2.11 was released *after* 6.0.0 which should indicate that the versioning may not fully follow semantic versioning. Developers upgrading to version 6.0.0 must ensure their projects are compatible with RxJS 6 and Angular 6 to leverage new features and improvements. The unpacked size of version 6.0.0 is also larger (12386832 bytes) than version 5.2.11 (7628305 bytes), which could indicate the inclusion of new functionalities or enhancements that developers should be aware of for performance considerations. Upgrading offers access to the latest features, performance improvements, and bug fixes available in the Angular ecosystem.
