Angular core, the bedrock of the Angular framework, saw a recent update from version 17.3.6 to 17.3.7. Both versions maintain the MIT license and rely on tslib for core functionalities. They also share peer dependencies on rxjs (versions 6.5.3 or later, or 7.4.0 and later) and zone.js (version ~0.14.0), ensuring compatibility with existing Angular projects. Developers will appreciate the consistency in these core dependencies for smoother upgrades.
A key difference lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize. Version 17.3.7 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 28,788,982 bytes compared to 17.3.6's 28,787,445 bytes. This increase suggests that the new version incorporates added features, optimizations, or bug fixes that contribute to the larger footprint, even if the fileCount remains the same at 389.
The most significant change is the release date Version 17.3.7 released on May 1st, 2024, indicating that the newer package is a recent update offering the latest improvements from the Angular team. Developers should consider upgrading to version 17.3.7 to benefit from these potential enhancements and bug fixes, ensuring using the most up-to-date, stable version of Angular core.
