Angular developers will find the transition from version 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 of @angular/platform-browser a relatively minor update, primarily focused on bug fixes and incremental improvements. Both versions serve the same core purpose: enabling Angular applications to run seamlessly within web browsers. The descriptions for both remain consistent, highlighting the library's role in bridging the gap between the Angular framework and the browser environment.
The key difference lies in the peer dependencies. Version 2.2.1 requires @angular/core and @angular/common at version 2.2.1, while version 2.2.0 necessitates versions 2.2.0 of those same packages. This indicates that version 2.2.1 likely incorporates fixes or features that rely on corresponding updates in the core and common modules. Therefore, developers upgrading should ensure that @angular/core and @angular/common are also updated to version 2.2.1 to maintain compatibility and avoid potential issues.
While the changelog (not provided here) would offer more granular details, the quick release cycle, with a release date difference of only a few days, suggests that the changes are not substantial. This likely focuses on addressing immediate regressions, fixing minor bugs or addressing important security concerns discovered shortly after the initial 2.2.0 release. Developers using Angular 2.2.0 or considering it should evaluate the reasons for update based on the identified bugs/fixes in the given version and determine quickly upgrading to 2.2.1 is a worth it endeavor.
