Angular's @angular/platform-browser-dynamic package provides the necessary functionality to run Angular applications within a web browser using Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. Examining versions 8.2.5 and 8.2.4, we see minor differences, primarily reflected in their release dates. Version 8.2.5 was released on September 4, 2019, while 8.2.4 came out on August 28, 2019. This suggests the newer version likely includes bug fixes or minor enhancements implemented since the previous release. Other than that, you can use the 2 versions in the same way, as the code is identical.
Both versions share the same dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and peer dependencies on @angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/compiler, and @angular/platform-browser. These peer dependencies indicate the specific versions of these core Angular modules that @angular/platform-browser-dynamic is designed to work with. Developers intending to utilize either version should ensure they are using the corresponding peer dependencies.
The dist object reveals structural similarities, with both versions containing 69 files and having an unpacked size of 682008 bytes.This consistency, between the 2 versions of this particular package, underscores the minimal nature of the changes between these two releases. For developers, choosing between these two versions might depend on their existing Angular project's dependencies and whether the bug fixes or minor enhancements in 8.2.5 are relevant to their specific use case. If no conflict is present, and the upgrade is seamless, it's generally advisable to use the latest version (8.2.5) to benefit from potential improvements and bug fixes.
