Angular developers looking to leverage browser-specific functionalities will find the @angular/platform-browser package essential. Version 5.0.3, released on November 22, 2017, offers a subtle but potentially important update compared to its predecessor, version 5.0.2, which was released just a week earlier on November 16, 2017. Both versions share the same core purpose: providing the necessary tools and abstractions to run Angular applications within web browsers. They both rely on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and are licensed under the permissive MIT license.
The key difference lies in the peer dependencies. Version 5.0.3 requires @angular/core and @angular/common at version 5.0.3, while version 5.0.2 necessitates versions 5.0.2 of these peer dependencies. This indicates that version 5.0.3 likely includes bug fixes or minor enhancements that rely on corresponding updates within the @angular/core and @angular/common packages.
Developers should upgrade to version 5.0.3 if they are already using or planning to use @angular/core and @angular/common version 5.0.3 to ensure compatibility and benefit from any potential improvements. For those still on version 5.0.2 of the core Angular packages, sticking with @angular/platform-browser version 5.0.2 is recommended to avoid dependency conflicts and ensure stability. The package can installed using npm. Regular checks using npm outdated command are recommended.
