Angular core version 14.2.2 is a minor release update to the core framework, succeeding version 14.2.1. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies, relying on tslib version 2.3.0 or higher, and declaring peer dependencies of rxjs version 6.5.3 or 7.4.0 and above, and zone.js around version 0.11.4, ensuring compatibility within the existing Angular ecosystem.
The licensing remains consistent under the MIT license, and the source code repository remains constant, pointing to the Angular GitHub repository under the packages/core directory, this means no fundamental changes in the project structure.
A notable difference lies in the dist section. Version 14.2.2 presents a slightly smaller unpacked size of 19,019,902 bytes compared to 14.2.1's 19,053,241 bytes. While the file count (333) is identical, the size difference indicates that version 14.2.2 contains minor optimizations or reductions in its codebase. This can translate into smaller bundle sizes for Angular applications, potentially leading to faster load times. Also the release date, version 14.2.2 was released on September 15, 2022, a week after 14.2.1 which was released on September 7, 2022.
For developers, upgrading from 14.2.1 to 14.2.2 appears to be a low-risk update containing mostly bug fixes which potentially lead to a smaller footprint for their applications, also this version comes with improvements and bug fixes as part of a routine maintenance cycle, contributing to a more stable and performant Angular experience. Given Angular's commitment to semantic versioning, developers can generally expect a smooth transition with minimal breaking changes in patch releases.
