Angular core version 7.2.12 is a minor update to the core Angular framework, succeeding version 7.2.11. Both versions share the same fundamental characteristics: built by the Angular team, licensed under MIT, and relying on tslib for TypeScript helpers. They also declare peer dependencies on rxjs (version 6.0.0 or higher) and zone.js (version ~0.8.26), indicating compatibility with these reactive programming and asynchronous operation libraries.
The key difference lies in the update. While file count remains constant at 611, the unpacked size of version 7.2.12 is slightly larger, measuring 20728232 bytes compared to 7.2.11's 20726180 bytes. This suggests that the update contains fixes and potentially minor enhancements. The release date also distinguishes the two, with version 7.2.12 being released on April 3, 2019, about a week after version 7.2.11's March 26, 2019 release. Developers should consider updating to the latest version as it likely incorporates bug fixes and stability improvements, ensuring a smoother development experience and potentially optimized performance for Angular applications. Always test updates in a development environment before deploying to production.
