Angular's core framework received a minor update with version 13.1.3, succeeding the previous stable version 13.1.2. Both versions maintain the core functionalities of the Angular framework, requiring tslib version 2.3.0 or higher as a dependency and specifying rxjs (versions 6.5.3 or 7.4.0 and above) and zone.js (version 0.11.4) as peer dependencies. These indicate compatibility and potential integration points with other libraries. Both versions are released under the MIT license ensuring developers have freedom to use, modify, and distribute the software.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the unpacked size of the distribution, with version 13.1.3 being slightly larger at 12,679,257 bytes compared to 12,653,206 bytes in version 13.1.2. While both comprise 331 files, this subtle difference likely indicates bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature additions within the core framework. For developers, upgrading from 13.1.2 to 13.1.3 is recommended to benefit from these potential enhancements.
The updated release date for 13.1.3 is January 19, 2022, roughly a week after the 13.1.2 release on January 12, 2022. The quick release suggests that the changes are important and may address issues discovered in the previous version. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog and update guides for a detailed list of changes and migration instructions.
