Angular developers considering an update from version 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 of the @angular/core package will find largely similar core functionalities. Both versions share the same fundamental description as "Angular - the core framework", indicating no significant architectural overhaul. Key dependencies remain consistent, with both requiring tslib at version ^1.7.1. Similarly, peer dependencies on rxjs (^5.0.1) and zone.js (^0.8.4) are unchanged, suggesting compatibility remains intact without needing to update these related libraries. This is important for maintaining project stability during upgrades.
The primary difference lies in the release date. Version 4.3.3 was published on August 2nd, 2017, subsequent to version 4.3.2's release on July 27th, 2017. While the provided data doesn't explicitly state the specific fixes or improvements introduced in 4.3.3, the seven-day gap strongly suggests it's a patch release containing bug fixes, potentially addressing minor issues or performance enhancements discovered after the 4.3.2 release. Developers should consult the official Angular changelog for a detailed list of these fixes to determine if the upgrade addresses specific problems they are encountering or optimizes their application's performance. The dist URLs indicate where to retrieve the tarball archives for each version, if needed for manual installation or investigation. Due the characteristics of the version numbers, it is a low risk upgrade and it's recommendable to update to the latest version to improve the stability of the app.
