Angular Router version 7.2.9 is a patch release in the 7.2.x series, building upon the previous stable version 7.2.8. The core functionality of the routing library remains consistent, providing essential features for navigation and view management within Angular applications. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helper functions and rxjs for reactive programming. They are also designed to work seamlessly with specific versions of core Angular packages, including @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser.
The key difference lies in the upgrade of the peer dependencies. While both support RxJS version ^6.0.0, the newer 7.2.9 requires Angular version 7.2.9, while the previous release of 7.2.8 requires the 7.2.8 version. Furthermore, version 7.2.9 exhibits a slightly larger unpacked size (4532136 bytes) compared to version 7.2.8 (4509671 bytes), potentially indicating minor updates, bug fixes, or performance improvements. The updated release date also signals that 7.2.9 incorporates more recent changes. For developers already using Angular 7.2.8, upgrading to 7.2.9 is recommended to leverage any enhancements and ensure compatibility within the Angular ecosystem, assuming all peer dependencies can be updated as well. This update might involve minimal code changes but offers the benefit of staying current with the latest refinements in the Angular Router.
