Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular developers should take note of the recent update to @angular/platform-browser, moving from version 19.0.3 to the latest stable release, 19.0.4. Both versions serve as essential components for running Angular applications within web browsers, providing the necessary tools and abstractions for interacting with the DOM and browser APIs. Key aspects like license (MIT), repository location, and the author remain consistent across both, ensuring continuity regarding usage rights and maintainership. The core dependencies also stay stable, with tslib remaining at ^2.3.0. Dependency means that both versions need at least version 2.3.0 of the tslibpackage. The peer dependencies also remain relatively consistent, however, they advance from version 19.0.3 to 19.0.4 in the newer version. Peer dependencies specify the exact versions of @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/animations that are compatible with the @angular/platform-browser package, ensuring seamless integration within the Angular ecosystem. A subtle but potentially impactful difference lies in the unpacked size of the package. Version 19.0.4 sees a small increase to 354562 bytes, compared to 352990 bytes in version 19.0.3. This increase might indicate bug fixes, slight performance improvements, or added features within the browser platform module. Developers should also be aware of the release date difference. Version 19.0.4 was released on 2024-12-12, while version 19.0.3 was released on 2024-12-04.
