Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/inquirer versions 9.0.4 and 9.0.3 provide TypeScript definitions for the popular inquirer interactive command-line user interface library. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on rxjs (version ^7.2.0) for reactive programming and @types/through for stream transformations, indicating consistent support for their underlying infrastructure.

The key difference lies in their release dates and potentially the bug fixes or minor typing improvements incorporated. Version 9.0.3 was released on November 7, 2022, while version 9.0.4 was released significantly later, on October 8, 2023. Developers should consider this time gap as an indicator that 9.0.4 likely includes fixes or adjustments accumulated over nearly a year.

While both packages have a similar file count (32), the unpacked size of version 9.0.4 is marginally larger (74402 bytes vs 74378 bytes), suggesting minor additions or modifications to the type definitions. Though small, this difference could reflect improved accuracy, better support for newer inquirer features, or refined type annotations. Developers aiming for the most up-to-date and potentially more robust type definitions should prefer version 9.0.4. The MIT license remains consistent across both versions, ensuring broad compatibility and usage rights for developers. Both versions are hosted on the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, enabling community contributions and transparency, and follow the same structure for the repository: types/inquirer.
