Angular Router version 6.1.7 is a minor update to the Angular routing library, building upon the foundation established in version 6.1.6. While both versions share a common description as "Angular - the routing library" and are licensed under the MIT license, a closer look reveals key distinctions.
The dependency on tslib remains consistent at ^1.9.0 across both versions, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript helper functions. Similarly, the peer dependencies, including rxjs at ^6.0.0 and core Angular packages (@angular/core, @angular/common, @angular/platform-browser), are present in both versions, however, each version depends on its correspondent version of the core packages (6.1.7 and 6.1.6).
The notable differences lie in the dist section and the releaseDate. Version 6.1.7, released on September 6, 2018, has an unpacked size of 4142522 bytes, slightly larger than version 6.1.6's 4134566 bytes. Although the file count remains the same at 158, the increased size may indicate bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements. Developers should consider upgrading to 6.1.7 to leverage these potential benefits and ensure they are using the most up-to-date and stable version of the router. For applications using Angular 6, this update is recommended to maintain optimal performance and security. Before upgrading, developers should always review angular changelog to discover the specific changes provided by angular team. The consistent use of the same repository throughout both versions indicates a continuous development approach, ensuring a reliable routing solution for Angular applications.
