Angular developers relying on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in the browser should note the differences between versions 5.2.8 and 5.2.9 of the @angular/platform-browser-dynamic package. Both versions provide the necessary tools to bootstrap Angular applications within a web browser environment utilizing JIT compilation. Looking at the metadata, the core functionality and dependencies remain consistent; both versions depend on tslib (version ^1.7.1) and share the same peer dependencies on @angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/compiler, and @angular/platform-browser.
The crucial distinction lies in the peer dependency versioning. Version 5.2.8 necessitates versions 5.2.8 of its peer packages, while 5.2.9 requires version 5.2.9 of its peers, signifying a coordinated release across the Angular ecosystem. This suggests that upgrading from 5.2.8 to 5.2.9 of @angular/platform-browser-dynamic requires updating *all* Angular packages to the 5.2.9 release to guarantee compatibility. Developers should pay careful attention to this when upgrading Angular versions. Aside from the dependency updates, the file count (42) and unpacked size (492678) are identical, implying the code changes are minimal and likely bug fixes or minor enhancements. Ensure that your other dependencies are compatible with angular version 5.2.9 after the package update.
