Angular core version 6.0.5 represents a minor update to the Angular framework, building upon the foundation laid by version 6.0.4. Both versions share identical core dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and expecting peer dependencies of rxjs version 6.0.0 or higher and zone.js version ~0.8.26. This ensures compatibility within the Angular ecosystem and a consistent development experience for applications already utilizing these libraries. Both versions are released under the permissive MIT license, promoting open-source collaboration and widespread adoption.
The key distinctions between the versions lie in the file size and release date. Version 6.0.5, released on June 13, 2018, boasts a slightly smaller unpacked size of 13,179,645 bytes compared to version 6.0.4's 13,194,825 bytes with the same number of files. This suggests potential minor optimizations or code refactoring within the core framework. Developers should note this small difference which might indicate bug fixes not documented. This version was released a week later than 6.0.4, which shipped on June 6, 2018. This release cadence signifies ongoing maintenance and potential improvements to the Angular core. For developers considering an upgrade, reviewing the Angular changelog and migration guides is recommended for complete insight into any behavioral changes.
