Angular's @angular/common package, essential for building Angular applications, saw a minor version bump from 6.1.4 to 6.1.6. Both versions share the same core description, providing commonly needed directives and services for Angular development. They also maintain identical dependencies, relying on tslib version ^1.9.0 and requiring peer dependencies of rxjs ^6.0.0 and a matching @angular/core version (6.1.4 and 6.1.6 respectively). The file structure and unpacked size are also identical, each containing 2370 files and taking up 12593609 bytes.
Examining the differences, the key change lies in the @angular/core peer dependency requirement, aligning with the @angular/common version in each case. More importantly, the release dates pinpoint the update: version 6.1.4 was released on August 22, 2018, while 6.1.6 followed a week later on August 29, 2018. This relatively short interval suggests that version 6.1.6 likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor enhancements over 6.1.4.
For developers using @angular/common, upgrading from 6.1.4 to 6.1.6 is advisable to benefit from these potential improvements and ensure compatibility within the Angular ecosystem. While the specific nature of the changes isn't explicitly detailed in the provided metadata, the updated release date signals a refinement worth considering for any Angular project utilizing this foundational package.
