Angular's @angular/platform-browser library, crucial for running Angular applications in web browsers, saw a new stable release with version 13.4.0, succeeding the previous stable version 13.3.12. Developers upgrading from 13.3.12 to 13.4.0 will primarily find improvements and bug fixes, solidifying the stability and performance of their Angular browser applications. Both versions depend on tslib version ^2.3.0, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript helper functions.
The core peer dependencies, @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations, are versioned in alignment with the @angular/platform-browser package. Therefore, version 13.4.0 mandates versions "13.4.0" of these peer dependencies, while 13.3.12 requires "13.3.12". An upgrade would thus necessitate updating these core Angular dependencies to maintain compatibility.
While both versions share the same MIT license and repository details, the dist property reveals differences. Version 13.4.0, released on April 6, 2023, has a tarball size and a fileCount of 63 similar to version 13.3.12, however the unpackedSize is slightly smaller at 1030764 compared to 1031007 of the older version released on November 21, 2022. This subtle size reduction potentially suggests optimizations in the codebase, possibly leading to a marginally smaller footprint for the application. The newer release date also indicates that version 13.4.0 incorporates the latest fixes and enhancements to @angular/platform-browser. Developers should thus consider upgrading to benefit from these improvements.
