Angular core version 13.3.0 represents a subtle yet potentially impactful update over its predecessor, version 13.2.7. Both versions maintain the foundation of the Angular framework and share core attributes such as dependencies on tslib (version ^2.3.0), peer dependencies on rxjs (^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and zone.js (~0.11.4), and the MIT license. Developers familiar with Angular will find the core functionality consistent across both versions.
The key difference lies in the unpacked size of the distributed package. Version 13.3.0 has an unpacked size of 12715361 bytes, marginally larger than the 12715197 bytes of version 13.2.7. This suggests either minor code additions, refactoring impacting file sizes, or adjustments in included assets within the distribution. While the file count remains identical at 335, the slight size discrepancy indicates internal modifications.
Another important difference is the publish date, version 13.3.0 was released later on the same day March 16th 2022, specifically at 19:13:52.337Z, while version 13.2.7 was released at 18:31:37.963Z.
For developers, especially those keen on optimizing application size or tracking down potential performance changes, this delta could be relevant. While no breaking changes are immediately evident, a thorough review of the Angular change logs and migration guides associated with this update is recommended before upgrading, ensuring compatibility and uncovering any hidden performance tweaks. The update signals an ongoing refinement of the Angular core.
