Angular developers should be aware of the updates between @angular/platform-browser versions 4.2.6 and 4.3.0. Both versions serve as the essential library for running Angular applications within web browsers. Key dependencies like tslib remain consistent, ensuring TypeScript compatibility.
The most noticeable change is the version bump itself, moving from 4.2.6 to 4.3.0, indicating potentially new features, bug fixes, or performance improvements. Checking the official Angular changelog for the 4.3.0 release is crucial to understand all specific modifications and features.
When upgrading, verifying peer dependencies is crucial. Version 4.3.0 requires @angular/core and @angular/common at version 4.3.0, while 4.2.6 requires those packages at 4.2.6. Therefore, a simple upgrade of @angular/platform-browser may necessitate updating @angular/core and @angular/common to maintain compatibility, which may require further modifications to your source code.
Developers should always consult the official Angular documentation and release notes for a comprehensive understanding of the changes and potential breaking changes to decide whether to upgrade or which verison is recommended. The releaseDate values suggests that version 4.3.0 came after version 4.2.6, and as a result, may have the most recent bug fixes and improvements; but this is something that should be verified in the changelogs.
