Angular Forms, a core module for building dynamic and reactive forms in Angular applications, saw a recent update from version 16.2.6 to 16.2.7. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies, relying on tslib for shared TypeScript helpers and declaring peer dependencies on essential Angular modules like @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser. They also maintain compatibility with RxJS versions 6.5.3 and 7.4.0. The package descriptions remain identical, highlighting the library's role in providing directives and services for form creation. Both versions share same fileCount and unpackedSize with 47 files and 1913003 unpacked size.
The key difference lies in the release date and, implicitly, bug fixes and minor improvements incorporated between the builds. Version 16.2.6 was released on September 20, 2023, while 16.2.7 followed a week later, on September 27, 2023. This update suggests that version 16.2.7 likely addresses issues discovered in 16.2.6 or introduces subtle optimizations. Developers using Angular Forms should upgrade to the latest version (16.2.7) to benefit from these improvements and ensure they have the most stable and reliable form-building experience, although the changes appears as bug fixes. The changes are related to bug fixing, so this could also mean improvements on template driven forms, reactive forms, or any kind of feature in the library.
