Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular developers should take note of the incremental update from version 13.3.0 to 13.3.1 of the @angular/platform-browser package. While both versions share the same core description as the Angular library for web browser integration, identical unpacked size (1030764 bytes), file count (63), dependencies on tslib version ^2.3.0, and the same MIT license, the key difference lies in the peer dependencies and the release date.

Crucially, version 13.3.1 requires its peer dependencies @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations to also be at version 13.3.1, whereas version 13.3.0 requires the 13.3.0 versions of these dependencies. This means developers upgrading to @angular/platform-browser@13.3.1 *must* also update these core Angular packages simultaneously, ensuring compatibility and leveraging any bug fixes or minor improvements introduced in those corresponding point releases. The release date signifies that version 13.3.1 came out two weeks after the 13.3.0 version. If there are no compatibility issues, upgrading to the latest version is generally recommended to benefit from the most recent optimizations and security patches. Otherwise, you can stick to the previous version, and update the @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations packages to the 13.3.0 versions. Always check the official Angular changelog and update guides for detailed information on changes and potential breaking changes, even with patch releases.
