Version 7.0.1 Details

Angular's @angular/common package, a cornerstone for building Angular applications, saw a minor version update from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 in October 2018. While seemingly small, these releases often contain crucial bug fixes and minor improvements. Comparing the two versions, we observe that both share the same fundamental description, dependencies on tslib, and peer dependencies on rxjs and @angular/core. The core functionality and API surface likely remain largely consistent.

However, a key difference lies in the release date, with version 7.0.1 being released approximately six days after 7.0.0. This suggests that 7.0.1 is likely a patch release addressing issues discovered in the initial 7.0.0 version. Intriguingly, the dist object reveals that version 7.0.1 has significantly fewer files (2370 vs 3418) and a smaller unpacked size (12.6MB vs 13.2MB) compared to the previous version. This may point to optimizations in the packaging process, or the removal of unnecessary files, potentially leading to smaller application bundles and faster load times for end-users.

For developers using @angular/common, upgrading to 7.0.1 is generally recommended to benefit from these potential bug fixes and improvements. While the core API is expected to remain compatible, consulting the official Angular changelog for detailed information on specific changes between these versions is advised. Performance improvements and bug fixes within the common module can lead to more reliable and efficient Angular applications.
