Angular core version 18.2.13 represents a minor update to the core Angular framework, succeeding version 18.2.12. Both versions maintain identical dependencies on tslib (version ^2.3.0) and peer dependencies on rxjs (version ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and zone.js (version ~0.14.10), suggesting API compatibility is preserved. The license remains MIT, ensuring continued flexibility for developers. The repository location also remains consistent, pointing to the Angular GitHub repository.
The key difference lies within the dist object. While both versions contain 426 files, the unpacked size has marginally increased in version 18.2.13 to 21064800 bytes, a slight increase from 21064774 bytes in the previous version. This suggests that the new version includes either some very minor additions, likely bug fixes from the release date between November 14 and November 26.
For developers, the update to 18.2.13 should be straightforward if already using 18.2.12, because the minor bump (last digit) implies that the change is a bug fix and some very minimal changes, which is generally safe and recommended. The small increase in unpacked size is negligible and shouldn't impact performance. Always review the official Angular changelog for a detailed list of specific fixes and improvements, but consider this upgrade a low-risk way to benefit from the latest enhancements to the core Angular runtime.
