Angular developers will find two recent versions of the core framework, 16.0.2 and 16.0.3, exhibiting subtle but potentially relevant differences. Both versions share the same core description as "Angular - the core framework," utilize identical dependencies on tslib (version ^2.3.0), and maintain the same peer dependencies on rxjs (^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and zone.js (~0.13.0). The license remains consistent at MIT, and the repository details point to the official Angular GitHub repository.
The key distinctions appear in the dist section. Version 16.0.3, released on May 24, 2023, has an unpacked size of 18,034,955 bytes. Version 16.0.2, released a week prior on May 17, 2023, shows a slightly smaller unpacked size of 18,022,145 bytes, and both versions has the same number of files: 318. While both versions have the same number of files, there is a slight size difference, suggesting that 16.0.3 likely contains bug fixes, performance improvements, or very minor feature enhancements compared to 16.0.2. Developers should consider upgrading to 16.0.3 to benefit from these improvements, assuming no breaking changes are introduced (unlikely in a patch release). For new projects, using the latest version (16.0.3) is generally recommended.
