Version 6.1.8 Details

Version 6.1.8 of @angular/platform-browser, a core component of the Angular framework responsible for enabling Angular applications to run within web browsers, introduces notable changes compared to its predecessor, version 6.1.7. While both versions share the same fundamental description, license (MIT), author ("angular"), and repository details (hosted on GitHub), developers should pay attention to distinctions in peerDependencies, dist details, and, crucially, the releaseDate. The main difference resides in the peer dependencies @angular/core and @angular/common which are now 6.1.8 (were 6.1.7).

The update includes an increase in the unpacked size of the package, indicating internal adjustments or additions that developers may indirectly experience through improved performance, bug fixes, or refined features. Package size 2487910 (was 2467952). This could influence the initial load time of Angular applications.

The release date also separates the two versions drastically: 2018-09-19T21:17:47.296Z for the newest vs 2018-09-06T04:12:14.180Z for the previous version.

Developers should always consult the official Angular changelog and migration guides for comprehensive details on specific changes, bug fixes, and potential breaking changes introduced in version 6.1.8. Before upgrading verify you also upgrade @angular/core and @angular/common to 6.1.8 too. Consider testing your applications thoroughly after upgrading to ensure compatibility and avoid unexpected issues.
