Angular's @angular/common package provides essential directives, pipes, and services for building Angular applications. Version 8.2.0 was released on July 31, 2019, following version 8.1.3 which was released just days before on July 26, 2019.
The key difference lies in the peer dependency @angular/core. Version 8.2.0 requires @angular/core version 8.2.0, while the older 8.1.3 requires @angular/core version 8.1.3. This indicates a synchronization with the core Angular framework release, likely containing bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features in both @angular/core and @angular/common. Developers should ensure their @angular/core dependency is aligned with the @angular/common version they intend to use to avoid compatibility issues.
Both versions maintain the same dependencies on tslib (version ^1.9.0) and rxjs (version ^6.4.0), ensuring compatibility with existing TypeScript helper libraries and the Reactive Extensions library for handling asynchronous operations. They are licensed under MIT and share the same repository. While the file count is identical, the unpacked size of version 8.2.0 is slightly larger (14246036 bytes) compared to 8.1.3 (14239782 bytes), suggesting minor code additions or modifications. Upgrading to 8.2.0 involves checking core dependencies for maximum compatibility with the related packages.
