The @angular/platform-browser package, crucial for running Angular applications in web browsers, saw a minor version update from 8.2.1 to 8.2.2. Both versions share the same core description: "Angular - library for using Angular in a web browser," indicating a focus on maintaining existing functionality. They also have identical dependencies on tslib (version ^1.9.0) and license (MIT), suggesting the underlying TypeScript helper library and licensing terms remain unchanged. The repository and author information are also consistent, pointing to the official Angular team and codebase.
The key differences lie in the peer dependencies and the dist object. Version 8.2.2 requires @angular/core and @angular/common at version 8.2.2, aligning with its own versioning, whereas 8.2.1 needed version 8.2.1 of the same peer dependencies. This highlights the importance of keeping core Angular packages synchronized for compatibility. The dist object reveals differences in the package's distribution. The unpackedSize of 8.2.2 is slightly larger (2692552 bytes) than 8.2.1 (2554088 bytes), suggesting potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements. Crucially the fileCount remains the same at 133. Finally the releaseDate confirms that version 8.2.2 was released on 2019-08-12, a few days after 8.2.1 release on 2019-08-08. Developers should upgrade to 8.2.2, along with @angular/core and @angular/common, to benefit from the latest updates and ensure optimal performance and stability.
