@types/eslint provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, a crucial tool for enforcing code style and preventing errors in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Version 6.1.1 arrived shortly after version 6.1.0, offering incremental improvements. Both versions share identical core functionality and declare dependencies on @types/estree and @types/json-schema, ensuring compatibility with the ESTree specification and JSON Schema validation, respectively. Both ship with 17 files. Key information like the MIT license and source code location in the DefinitelyTyped repository stays consistent.
The primary difference lies in a slight increase in the unpacked size (6.1.1 is 144131 bytes vs 6.1.0 is 144083 bytes) and the release date. Version 6.1.1 was published on August 23, 2019, while version 6.1.0 came out on August 20, 2019. The small size difference likely reflects minor adjustments, potentially bug fixes or improvements to the type definitions themselves.
For developers, upgrading from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 is recommended, especially if experiencing edge-case issues with type checking. Although the changes might appear minimal, staying on the latest version ensures access to the most refined and accurate ESLint type definitions for TypeScript projects. This helps provide a smoother development experience and better integration between ESLint and the TypeScript compiler and could also include security fixes relevant to type definitions.
