Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives and services for building Angular applications. Examining versions 7.2.1 and 7.2.0 reveals subtle but important changes for developers. Both versions share the same core description, dependency on tslib (version ^1.9.0), and peer dependency on rxjs (^6.0.0), indicating a continued compatibility with the same underlying Typescript library and reactive extensions. Their licensing remains MIT, and the source code repository stays consistent on GitHub under the Angular project.
The key difference lies in the peer dependency @angular/core. Version 7.2.1 specifically requires @angular/core version 7.2.1, while 7.2.0 requires @angular/core version 7.2.0. This tight coupling is typical for Angular package releases, implying that developers upgrading to @angular/common 7.2.1 should correspondingly upgrade their @angular/core package to ensure compatibility and avoid potential runtime errors. The dist object reveals that 7.2.1 has a slightly larger unpacked size (12730622 bytes) compared to 7.2.0 (12699251 bytes), suggesting minor additions, bug fixes or optimizations. This incremental change is further corroborated by the release dates. Version 7.2.1 was released on January 16, 2019, a little over a week after version 7.2.0 (released January 7, 2019). Developers should consult the official Angular changelog for a detailed breakdown of these subtle differences and the specific bug fixes or minor features introduced in the 7.2.1 release.
