Angular core version 12.2.12 is a patch release in the Angular 12 series, following version 12.2.11. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.2.0. They also maintain identical peer dependencies, requiring rxjs versions ^6.5.3 or ^7.0.0 and zone.js version ~0.11.4. This suggests that the update from 12.2.11 to 12.2.12 is unlikely to introduce breaking changes related to these core dependencies.
The most apparent difference lies in the dist section. While both versions have the same fileCount of 489, the unpackedSize is slightly smaller in 12.2.12 (16164542 bytes) compared to 12.2.11 (16164568 bytes). This indicates minor optimizations or potentially the removal of some unnecessary files, leading to a slightly smaller overall package size. The releaseDate is also different, version 12.2.12 was released on 2021-10-27 and version 12.2.11 on 2021-10-20.
For developers, this patch release likely addresses specific bugs or performance issues identified in version 12.2.11. While the change in unpacked size is minimal, it reflects ongoing efforts to refine and optimize the framework. Developers should always consult the official Angular changelog for a comprehensive list of fixes and improvements included in this patch release to determine if the update is necessary for their specific projects. The core functionality and API surface remain largely consistent.
