Version 3.4.29 Details

@types/chai versions 3.4.29 and 3.4.28 offer TypeScript definitions for the popular Chai assertion library, specifically targeting Chai version 3.4.0. Both versions, authored by Jed Mao, are distributed under the MIT license and reside in the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, ensuring community-driven maintenance and reliability.

The key difference between the two lies in their release dates. Version 3.4.29 was published on July 19, 2016, while version 3.4.28 was released five days earlier, on July 14, 2016. This suggests that version 3.4.29 likely incorporates bug fixes, minor improvements, or updates to the TypeScript definitions that were absent in the earlier 3.4.28 release.

For developers utilizing Chai in TypeScript projects, these packages provide essential type information, enabling enhanced code completion, compile-time error checking, and improved overall code maintainability. By installing @types/chai, developers can seamlessly integrate Chai's expressive assertion syntax with the type safety of TypeScript, reducing the risk of runtime errors related to incorrect type usage. While the descriptions of both versions claim to support "chai 3.4.0", given the release date difference it is safe to assume that version 3.4.29 would be the better choice for projects using Chai 3.4.0. When making the jump to newer versions of Chai, be sure to double check the available minor and major versions for the @types packages to take complete advantage of TypeScript.
