Angular developers considering upgrading to @angular/platform-browser version 16.0.0 from 15.2.10 will find several key differences. Notably, version 16.0.0 signifies a major version update within the Angular ecosystem, bringing potential breaking changes alongside new features and performance improvements that align with Angular's overall evolution. Developers should carefully review the Angular update guide for a comprehensive list of breaking changes and migration instructions.
A significant change is the reduction in unpacked size of version 16.0.0 to 807035, compared to the 1116642 of version 15.2.10. This smaller footprint could translate to faster download and installation times, and potentially improved runtime performance. The file count has also decreased from 62 to 54.
The peer dependencies also reflect the major version bump. Version 16.0.0 now requires @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations at version 16.0.0 as well while version 15.2.10 requires them at similar version. Make sure to take that into account. The library's core functionality, offering tools for managing browser interactions and rendering Angular applications within web browsers, remains consistent. The upgrade makes little impact on the API that developers are used to, but improves mostly under the hood. Before using this library, check if the other dependencies meet the requirements of this library.
