@types/eslint version 6.1.5 brings subtle improvements over its predecessor, version 6.1.4, in providing TypeScript definitions for ESLint, a crucial tool for maintaining code quality and consistency in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Both versions share the same fundamental dependencies: @types/estree and @types/json-schema. Ensuring type compatibility within the ESLint ecosystem. They are licensed under the MIT license and both versions are sourced from the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, indicating a community maintained effort to provide accurate and up-to-date type definitions.
A key difference lies in the unpacked size of the packages. Version 6.1.5 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 144993 bytes compared to version 6.1.4's 144709 bytes. This increase, while small, potentially reflects minor refinements, bug fixes, or additions to the type definitions. Furthermore, version 6.1.5 was released on January 22, 2020, at 19:53:09 UTC, approximately 19 hours later than version 6.1.4 which was released on the same day at 00:52:26 UTC.
For developers, both are valid choices, updating to 6.1.5 is advisable to benefit from any incremental enhancements or bug fixes incorporated since the earlier release. The small size difference suggests any changes are not disruptive, making the upgrade low-risk and potentially beneficial for TypeScript integration with ESLint. Both versions declare having 17 files in the package.
