Angular Core version 14.2.8 is a minor patch release, following the previous stable version 14.2.7, within the Angular framework's lifecycle. Both versions share fundamental characteristics; they are described as "Angular - the core framework" and include identical dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.3.0. Their peer dependencies also remain consistent, requiring rxjs versions ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0 and zone.js version ~0.11.4. The licensing remains under the MIT license. Crucially, both archives have the same number of files, 333, and the same unpacked size, clocking in at 19019918 bytes.
The primary difference lies in the release date. Version 14.2.8 was published on October 26, 2022, while version 14.2.7 came out on October 19, 2022. This one-week gap suggests that version 14.2.8 likely incorporates bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor adjustments discovered after the release of 14.2.7. Developers should consider updating to 14.2.8, especially if they encountered any issues addressed in the patch, to benefit from the latest stability and refinements. It is however, not mandatory considering there is no description of changes, and the unpacked size and number of files are the same.
