The @types/eslint package provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, a popular JavaScript and TypeScript linting tool. Comparing version 7.28.1 with the previous stable version 7.28.0 reveals subtle yet potentially important differences for developers. Both versions share the same core dependencies on @types/estree and @types/json-schema, essential for representing JavaScript code structure and defining JSON schemas used in ESLint configurations respectively. The license remains MIT, and the repository consistently points to the DefinitelyTyped project on GitHub where the TypeScript definitions are maintained.
A key difference lies in the release date. Version 7.28.1 was released on October 8, 2021, a significant time jump from version 7.28.0 released on July 13, 2021. This suggests that the newer version incorporates several updates and potentially crucial bug fixes accumulated over those months. Further, the unpacked size of version 7.28.1 is slightly larger at 164208 bytes compared to 164085 bytes for version 7.28.0. While seemingly small, this increase might indicate additions or modifications to the type definitions, reflecting adjustments to align with newer ESLint features or address inconsistencies. For developers using TypeScript and ESLint, upgrading to @types/eslint version 7.28.1 is advisable to benefit from the latest type definitions, potentially improving code completion, error detection, and overall development experience leveraging enhanced, accurate type information for more robust static analysis.
