Angular developers should be aware of the recent updates to @angular/core, specifically the jump from version 13.2.1 to 13.2.2. Both versions share the same core framework description, dependencies on tslib (version ^2.3.0), and peer dependencies on rxjs (^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and zone.js (~0.11.4), ensuring compatibility with existing projects using those libraries. The licensing remains MIT, and the source code is hosted on the Angular GitHub repository.
However, the key differences lie in the dist section, offering subtle insights. Version 13.2.2 was released on February 8, 2022, while version 13.2.1 was released on February 2, 2022, indicating a short release cycle likely for bug fixes or minor improvements. While both versions contain 335 files, the unpacked size slightly decreased from 12,722,649 bytes in 13.2.1 to 12,719,278 bytes in 13.2.2. This suggests some potential optimizations within the core framework in the newer version.
For developers, upgrading to 13.2.2 is generally recommended due to the expectation of bug fixes and performance tweaks compared to 13.2.1. Before upgrading, always consult the official Angular changelog or release notes to understand the specific changes and potential impacts on your application. Even though this seems a minor upgrade it could contain important security fixes. It is an important step to maintain an updated environment for the application.
