Angular's @angular/platform-browser package provides the necessary tools to run Angular applications within a web browser environment. Examining versions 10.0.3 and 10.0.2 reveals subtle changes that are still important for developers maintaining Angular projects.
A primary difference lies in the versioning of peer dependencies. Version 10.0.3 requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations at version 10.0.3, effectively mandating alignment across these core Angular modules. Similarly, version 10.0.2 requires version 10.0.2 of the dependencies. This dependency management is crucial for ensuring compatibility and predictable behavior within an Angular application. The tslib dependency remains consistent across both versions, leveraging version ^2.0.0 for TypeScript helper functions.
The dist object provides insight into the released artifacts. Intriguingly, both versions exhibit the same fileCount (78) and unpackedSize (1481730 bytes) which suggests that code changes were minimal in terms of the number of files added or removed and probably focused on fixing existing issues.
The releaseDate field indicates when each version was published, with 10.0.3 released on July 8, 2020, and 10.0.2 on June 30, 2020. This timestamp is valuable for developers tracking bug fixes, security patches, or new features introduced between releases. By upgrading from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3, developers likely adopted bug fixes implemented by the Angular team between these dates. For projects aiming for stability and benefitting from the latest improvements, it is crucial to keep these versions up to date.
