The @angular/platform-browser package is a crucial component for running Angular applications in web browsers, enabling the framework to interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) and manage browser-specific functionalities. Comparing versions 14.3.0 and 14.2.12, the core functionality remains consistent based on the description. Both depend on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and share the same MIT license and repository.
The primary difference lies in the peer dependencies and release dates. Version 14.3.0 requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations at version 14.3.0, while 14.2.12 necessitates version 14.2.12 of these peer dependencies. This indicates that upgrading to @angular/platform-browser version 14.3.0 mandates a corresponding update of these core packages. The release dates also differ, with 14.3.0 released on March 13, 2023, and 14.2.12 on November 21, 2022, implying that 14.3.0 incorporates more recent features, bug fixes, and performance optimizations developed since the earlier release.
While the fileCount is the same (61), the unpackedSize varies slightly: 1,126,873 bytes for 14.3.0 versus 1,127,116 bytes for 14.2.12. This tiny size difference probably reflects internal changes and is unlikely to impact performance significantly. Developers should upgrade to 14.3.0 to benefit from the newest improvements, but ensure all peer dependencies are also upgraded to maintain compatibility and stability.
