The @angular/platform-browser package is a crucial component for running Angular applications within a web browser environment. Comparing version 7.0.0 with the prior stable version 6.1.10 reveals key updates for Angular developers. Both versions rely on the tslib dependency, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript helper functions. The core difference lies in the peer dependencies: version 7.0.0 requires @angular/core and @angular/common at version 7.0.0, signaling a major framework update, whereas version 6.1.10 depends on versions 6.1.10 of these peer packages.
This shift to Angular 7.0.0 brings significant improvements and new features within the framework itself, necessitating the update in the platform-browser package. Developers upgrading from 6.1.10 need to update @angular/core and @angular/common to version 7.0.0 as a result.
While the file count remains consistent at 179, the unpacked size of version 7.0.0 has slightly increased to 2506533 from 2492184 suggesting additions, changes, and probably bug fixes. Finally, developers should note the release dates, with version 7.0.0 released on 2018-10-18T18:10:16.512Z, indicating newer features and bug fixes compared to 6.1.10 released on 2018-10-10T18:42:17.012Z. This makes version 7.0.0 the preferred choice for Angular developers who want bugfixes and new features.
