Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular developers considering updating their web application's platform-browser package should be aware of the subtle differences between versions 10.0.14 and 10.1.0. Both versions, fundamental for running Angular applications in the browser, share the same core description: they provide the necessary library to utilize Angular within a web browser environment. Key characteristics like the MIT license, the repository location on GitHub under the Angular project, and the author (angular) remain consistent. Both rely on tslib version 2.0.0 or higher as a dependency.

A notable difference lies in their peer dependencies. Version 10.1.0 specifically requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations at version 10.1.0, while version 10.0.14 needs the corresponding 10.0.14 versions. This highlight's the importance of keeping these core Angular packages synchronized to prevent version conflicts.

While the file count in the packaged tarball remains static at 78 for both versions, the unpacked size differs slightly. The newer 10.1.0 version has an unpacked size of 1481461 bytes, comparatively smaller than the 1481490 bytes of the older 10.0.14 meaning that some optimization has occured. The release dates also differentiate them, with version 10.1.0 released on September 2nd, 2020, after version 10.0.14 released on August 26th, 2020. This difference, although small, signifies underlying bug fixes, and minor feature enhancements typical of patch and minor version releases. Developers should consult the Angular changelog for a comprehensive understanding of these specific changes.
