Angular developers will find the "@angular/platform-browser" package essential for running their applications within a web browser environment. Examining versions 8.1.3 and 8.1.2, we see they share largely the same characteristics with a few subtle but important distinctions.
Both versions, described as libraries to facilitate Angular usage in browsers, depend on "tslib" (version ^1.9.0) for Typescript helpers and require compatible peer dependencies of "@angular/core" and "@angular/common". Version 8.1.3 depends on version 8.1.3 of both packages, while version 8.1.2 correspondingly depends on version 8.1.2 of the peer packages. The file count (133) and unpacked size (2549609) are identical implying that code changes are small and are not adding significant amount of code.
The key difference lies in their release dates, suggesting bug fixes and small improvements. Version 8.1.3 was released on July 26, 2019, while version 8.1.2 was released on July 17, 2019 and this means that the latter is the previous stable version. Developers already using 8.1.2 should upgrade to 8.1.3, as it likely incorporates important fixes and refinements, ensuring a more stable and performant Angular application. Always ensure matching versions of core Angular packages for optimal compatibility.
