Angular core version 6.0.7 represents a minor update over the preceding 6.0.6, both iterations maintaining the core framework functionalities. Examining the metadata, we observe a consistent dependency structure, relying on tslib (version ^1.9.0) and peer dependencies rxjs (^6.0.0) and zone.js (~0.8.26). This suggests that the update doesn't introduce breaking changes related to these core libraries, ensuring compatibility for existing projects. The license remains MIT, reinforcing the project's open-source nature.
A notable difference lies within the dist object. While the fileCount is identical at 464, the unpackedSize reveals an increase from 13,160,226 bytes in 6.0.6 to 13,174,070 bytes in 6.0.7. This subtle expansion indicates potential bug fixes, performance optimizations, or minor feature enhancements incorporated within the core framework. Furthermore, the releaseDate pinpoints the releases, with 6.0.6 issued on June 20, 2018, and 6.0.7 following on June 28, 2018. This short interval suggests a reactive release, possibly addressing issues discovered shortly after the 6.0.6 publication. Developers considering upgrading should weigh the potential improvements in 6.0.7 against the stability of their existing 6.0.6 implementation, keeping in mind the peer dependencies remain the same. This ensures minimal disruption during the update process while potentially benefiting from the included fixes and optimizations.
