Angular's core framework saw a minor version bump from 11.0.5 to 11.0.6, representing incremental refinement and bug fixes rather than major feature introductions. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and declaring rxjs and zone.js as peer dependencies, meaning projects using @angular/core must also install compatible versions of these libraries. The licensing remains MIT, ensuring broad usability.
The key differences lie in the details of their distribution packages. Version 11.0.6 includes a slightly larger unpacked size (18274076 bytes) compared to 11.0.5 (18266594 bytes), suggesting that the newer version incorporates some additions or modifications, although the number of files remains the same (478). Crucially, the release dates highlight that version 11.0.6 was released on January 6, 2021, whereas version 11.0.5 was released on December 16, 2020. The three weeks may indicate bug fixes or small improvements.
Developers considering whether to upgrade should weigh the benefits of potential bug fixes and minor performance enhancements in 11.0.6 against the stability of the older, more established 11.0.5. Reviewing the Angular change logs and release notes associated with these specific versions is essential to discern the precise nature of the changes and their impact on existing projects.
