Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular Forms version 13.4.0 represents an incremental update over the previous stable version, 13.3.12, within the Angular framework's forms module. While both versions maintain the core functionality of providing directives and services for building forms in Angular applications, a key difference lies in their peer dependencies. Version 13.4.0 requires Angular core, common, and platform-browser packages at version 13.4.0 precisely, whereas version 13.3.12 demands the 13.3.12 versions of these packages. This indicates that projects upgrading to forms 13.4.0 must also update their core Angular dependencies to maintain compatibility. Notably, both versions rely on the same typescript library version and allows the same RxJS versions, supporting both version 6 and 7.

The 'dist' section reveals subtle differences in the packaged size. The newer version incorporates slight changes, even if these are not visible on the description, as it has a slightly smaller unpacked size(close to 400 bytes smaller). The most valuable distinction for developers is the update itself, implying bug fixes, potentially performance imrpovements or the introduction of minor non-breaking features within the forms module specifically. Developers should always consult the official Angular changelog associated with version 13.4.0 for a detailed list of changes and potential migration considerations before upgrading. The upgrade will not require any change if all the related packages are already at version 13.3.12, or will need to update the core angular packages, but is expected to be a smooth upgrade process.
