Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular core version 11.0.5 is a minor update to the core framework, succeeding the 11.0.4 release. Both versions share the same fundamental description, serving as the backbone for Angular applications. They also maintain identical dependency specifications, relying on tslib version ^2.0.0 and peer dependencies of rxjs ^6.5.3 and zone.js ~0.10.3, ensuring compatibility with existing Angular ecosystems utilizing these versions. The license remains MIT, providing developers with the freedom to use and modify the framework. Both versions can be found within the angular/angular repository on GitHub.

The primary distinctions between versions 11.0.5 and 11.0.4 are subtle but potentially important. Version 11.0.5 includes one new file that increases count to 478 against 477 from the previous version, and also presents a slightly larger unpacked size of 18266594 bytes compared to 18249105 bytes. While the file count has increased, this incremental increase in size suggests that version 11.0.5 likely incorporates bug fixes and optimizations. The release date of version 11.0.5 is December 16, 2020, a week and one day after the release of 11.0.4, suggesting a quick turnaround for addressing identified issues. For developers, it's worth investigating the specific commits between these versions to understand the exact nature of the fixes and optimizations to evaluate if they need to update the version.
