@angular/common, a core module in the Angular framework providing essential directives and services for building web applications, saw a minor version update from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3. Both versions share the same fundamental characteristics: a dependency on tslib (version ^1.9.0) for TypeScript helper functions and peer dependencies on rxjs (version ^6.0.0) for reactive programming and @angular/core (version matching their own respective version). The licensing remains consistent under MIT, indicating permissive use and modification. The repository location also remains the same, pointing to the official Angular GitHub repository.
However, the key distinction lies in the update from @angular/core 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 in the peer dependencies. While seemingly minor, this suggests that @angular/common:6.0.3 is designed to work with the corresponding bug fixes and improvements introduced in @angular/core:6.0.3. Developers should especially take note that @angular/common:6.0.3 was released after @angular/common:6.0.2, therefore, it is generally advised to utilize the latest @angular/common library to ensure compatibility and access to latest bug fixes of the most fundamental features of the angular framework. The slight decrease in unpackedSize from 12386189 to 12386165 bytes can indicate minor performance optimizations. Developers are encouraged to consult the official Angular changelog for a more granular understanding of the specific changes incorporated between these two versions to decide accordingly.
