Angular core version 18.2.9 is a minor update to the core framework, building upon the foundation laid by version 18.2.8. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions. Developers upgrading from previous versions will be familiar with the peer dependencies, rxjs and zone.js, which remain compatible with the same ranges. The license remains MIT. The repository details also stay consistent, pointing to the official Angular GitHub repository.
The key difference lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize. Version 18.2.9 has an unpacked size of 21074665 bytes, slightly larger than version 18.2.8's 21073072 bytes. The file count, 426, remain the same. The release date for 18.2.9 is 2024-10-23, while 18.2.8 was released on 2024-10-10. This indicates a relatively quick follow-up release.
For developers, this likely signifies a minor bug fix, performance tweak, or very small feature addition. While the core dependencies and peer dependencies remain unchanged, indicating no breaking API changes, developers should still review the changelog for detailed information on the specific changes included in this release. This ensures a smooth update process and allows them to take advantage of any improvements or fixes that may benefit their applications. The difference in unpacked size hints only some very tiny modification.
