Angular developers should note the subtle yet potentially impactful differences between @angular/platform-browser versions 12.0.0 and 12.0.1. Both versions, described as the library for using Angular in a web browser, share a common foundation, including the same tslib dependency (version ^2.1.0), MIT license, and repository details within the Angular GitHub project. Their core functionality remains fundamentally the same, providing the necessary tools to render and manage Angular applications within web browsers.
The crucial distinction lies in the peer dependencies. Version 12.0.0 requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations at version 12.0.0, while version 12.0.1 upgrades these peer dependencies to 12.0.1. This signifies patch updates within these core Angular modules. Developers should upgrade to version 12.0.1 to ensure all their Angular dependencies are aligned at the latest patch level. This synchronization minimizes the risk of unexpected behaviors or compatibility issues stemming from mismatched versions. Minor bug fixes that come with @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations version 12.0.1 will be implemented within the code.
Furthermore, the releaseDate reflects that 12.0.1 was released on May 19, 2021, a week after the release of 12.0.0 on May 12, 2021, suggesting a quick follow-up with potentially important fixes or refinements. There is a minimal difference in unpackedSize too. Therefore, when working with Angular 12, prioritizing @angular/platform-browser version 12.0.1, alongside its corresponding peer dependencies, is recommended for stability and optimal performance.
