@angular/common version 6.0.1 represents a minor patch release over version 6.0.0, offering incremental improvements and bug fixes within the Angular framework's commonly used directives and services. Both versions share the same core functionality, providing essential building blocks for Angular applications, such as directives for common tasks (like NgIf and NgFor), date, number, and currency formatting, and the HttpClient for making web requests. They both depend on tslib for TypeScript helper functions.
The key distinction lies in the peer dependencies: version 6.0.1 is specifically paired with @angular/core version 6.0.1 for optimal compatibility, while version 6.0.0 works with @angular/core version 6.0.0. Developers upgrading to Angular 6 should align the @angular/common version with their @angular/core version to ensure a smooth experience. While the file count remains the same at 2364, the unpacked size is slightly smaller in version 6.0.1 (12386186 bytes) compared to 6.0.0 (12386832 bytes), suggesting minor optimisations or adjustments in the codebase. Released on May 11, 2018, version 6.0.1 followed shortly after version 6.0.0 (released May 3, 2018) reflecting a rapid iteration to address potential issues or enhance stability. For developers, this means that upgrading from 6.0.0 involves a straightforward version bump, but adherence to the peer dependency constraints of @angular/core and rxjs is crucial for application stability.
