Angular Forms has a new stable release, version 17.2.0, succeeding version 17.1.3. Both versions, designed for creating forms within Angular applications incorporating directives and services, share a common foundation. They maintain the same dependency on tslib (version ^2.3.0) for shared TypeScript helpers, ensuring codebase compatibility. Moreover, they both specify the same peer dependencies to rxjs which is '^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0' and have similar repository and licensing information. The distribution contains also the same number of files and the unpacked size.
However, the keey difference resides in their Angular core dependencies and release dates. Version 17.2.0 relies on @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser all at version 17.2.0, reflecting the latest enhancements throughout the Angular platform as of this release. This version was released on February 14, 2024. In contrast, version 17.1.3 depends on version 17.1.3 of the same Angular packages and was released on February 8, 2024.
For developers, the upgrade to version 17.2.0 means accessing the latest Angular Forms features, bug fixes, and performance improvements that come with the broader Angular 17.2.0 platform. Staying current ensures compatibility with the newest Angular ecosystem advancements. Given the similar file sizes and structure, the update should be straightforward, provided that the core Angular dependencies are also updated accordingly. Always consult the official Angular changelog for a comprehensive list of changes and migration guidance.
