Angular Router version 18.2.9 represents a minor update to the Angular routing library, building upon the solid foundation of version 18.2.8. Both versions, described as "Angular - the routing library", share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helpers and maintaining compatibility with RxJS versions 6.5.3 and 7.4.0 or higher. Crucially, they also depend on specific versions of @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser. The key difference lies in the specific versions of these peer dependencies. In 18.2.9, these are all bumped to 18.2.9, reflecting a synchronized update across the Angular core modules. Version 18.2.8, naturally, relies on version 18.2.8 of these core Angular packages.
Beyond these version bumps, both packages share identical metadata: MIT license, location in the Angular repository, same author (angular), file count (72), unpacked size (2440130). The main interest for a developer when evaluating updates is the functionality that is added or fixed, but the data here doesnt reflect any, only the release date differs, with version 18.2.9 released over two weeks later (October 23, 2024) than 18.2.8 (October 10, 2024). Therefore developers should expect bug and security fixes, performance improvements and minor API changes or deprecations and use the new version coupled with the indicated version of @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser. It's very common for subsequent versions to improve the stability of features introduced in the former one.
