Angular's @angular/platform-browser package provides the necessary tools to run Angular applications within a web browser environment. Comparing versions 11.0.1 and 11.0.0 reveals subtle but potentially important distinctions for developers. Both versions share the same core description, license (MIT), author ("angular"), and repository details, indicating a continuous development process within the broader Angular framework. Crucially, both depend on tslib version ^2.0.0, suggesting that the TypeScript helper library remains a consistent dependency across these minor releases.
The peer dependencies highlight the intended ecosystem for these versions. Version 11.0.1 requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations all at version 11.0.1, while version 11.0.0 expects its peers to be at 11.0.0. These peer dependency differences are the most significant change, indicating a tight coupling between @angular/platform-browser and the other core Angular modules. If you're upgrading, ensuring all @angular/* packages are aligned to the same minor version (either 11.0.0 or 11.0.1) is crucial to avoid compatibility issues.
Beyond the version bumps in peer dependencies, the dist metadata shows a slight size increase in the unpacked size from 1,485,230 bytes to 1,485,511 bytes, a change of just 281 bytes. This likely reflects very minor bug fixes or performance improvements included in the 11.0.1 release. The release dates also confirm this is a patch version, with version 11.0.1 released approximately one week after 11.0.0. Developers should choose the latest version (11.0.1) for the most up-to-date fixes and improvements, but only after ensuring compatibility with the core Angular peer dependencies. Always test upgrades in a development environment before deploying to production.
