Angular Router version 4.2.6 represents a minor iteration over its predecessor, version 4.2.5, both residing within the Angular framework's routing ecosystem. While the core description remains consistent—"Angular - the routing library"—developers should note the subtle yet crucial differences influencing application stability and dependency management.
Both versions rely on tslib for TypeScript helper functions, indicating a shared foundation in TypeScript compilation. The peer dependencies are where the primary distinction lies. Version 4.2.6 mandates @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser at version 4.2.6 precisely, while 4.2.5 requires the 4.2.5 versions of the same packages. This means upgrading to router 4.2.6 requires updating the core Angular modules as well. Furthermore, both versions maintain compatibility with rxjs version ^5.0.1, ensuring reactive programming capabilities are preserved. These versions operate under the MIT license, promoting open-source usage and modification. Released on July 8, 2017, version 4.2.6 followed its predecessor released on June 30, 2017. Developers considering upgrading to 4.2.6 from 4.2.5 should prioritize aligning their core Angular dependencies to ensure seamless integration and avoid potential conflicts. It is crucial to update all @angular/* packages at the same time.
