Angular developers considering an upgrade from version 14.1.3 to 14.2.0 of @angular/core will find a relatively incremental update, but one with some notable refining aspects. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.3.0 and expecting peer dependencies of rxjs version ^6.5.3 or ^7.4.0, and zone.js version ~0.11.4. This consistency across versions suggests a stable foundation for existing Angular projects.
A key difference lies subtlely in the dist information: version 14.2.0 contains slightly fewer files (333) compared to 14.1.3 (335), and also a reduced unpacked size, suggesting minor size optimizations and potential file consolidations in the newer version. This can translate to a slightly smaller bundle size for applications, contributing to faster load times.
From a timeline perspective, version 14.2.0 was released on August 25, 2022, following version 14.1.3 released on August 17, 2022, indicating active maintenance and iterative improvements to the core Angular framework. While the metadata doesn't explicitly detail feature additions or bug fixes, developers can infer potential refinements. Checking the official Angular changelog and migration guides remains essential for a comprehensive understanding of the changes.
