Angular core version 19.1.6 represents a subtle but potentially important update to the foundational framework. Released on February 12, 2025, it follows closely on the heels of version 19.1.5 (released February 6, 2025), suggesting a possible hotfix or minor enhancement. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib version ^2.3.0, and have identical peer dependencies: rxjs (^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0) and zone.js (~0.15.0). This indicates API compatibility and a smooth transition for developers already working with Angular 19. The license remains MIT, and the source code is hosted on GitHub in the packages/core directory.
A key difference lies in the unpackedSize. Version 19.1.6 has an unpacked size of 10016019 bytes, slightly larger than 19.1.5's 10008563 bytes. While only a small increase, this may hint at code additions or adjustments. Developers should note the increased size, albeit small, may affect initial load times negligibly. Examining the detailed changelog within the Angular repository is advisable to see specific differences. Ensure compatibility by testing updated components for breaking changes. Using npm update is the most streamlined way to update.
