Angular developers considering an update to @angular/common from version 8.0.0 to 8.0.1 should be aware of a minor patch release that primarily addresses bug fixes and potential stability improvements. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version 1.9.0 and peer dependencies of rxjs 6.4.0 and @angular/core 8.0.x. The license remains MIT for both versions, ensuring open-source usage. From repository side, there are no changes. The key distinguishing factor lies in the @angular/core's peer dependency; @angular/common 8.0.1 relies on @angular/core 8.0.1 while the previous one rely on version 8.0.0.
While the file count is identical at 2338, the unpacked size sees a minimal increase from 14,270,166 bytes in 8.0.0 to 14,270,642 bytes in 8.0.1, indicating subtle code adjustments. The later version was released on June 13, 2019, a few weeks after the initial 8.0.0 release on May 28, 2019. For developers, upgrading to 8.0.1 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest fixes and enhancements, ensuring a more robust and reliable application. Given the patch nature of the release, breaking changes are unlikely, making the upgrade relatively straightforward. If you encounter any problems while developing, consider upgrading @angular/core to version 8.0.1 as well.
