Version 2.8.12 Details

The @types/jasmine package provides TypeScript definitions for the Jasmine testing framework, allowing developers to write type-safe Jasmine tests in TypeScript projects. Version 2.8.12 was released on November 19, 2018, appearing as a minor update following version 2.8.11, which was released on November 5, 2018. While both versions share the same core purpose, license (MIT), and repository, subtle differences exist that may be relevant to developers.

The primary difference lies in the dist metadata. Version 2.8.12 has a slightly smaller unpacked size of 30497 bytes compared to version 2.8.11's 30691 bytes, a reduction of 194 bytes. Both versions contain 4 files in the package. This suggests minor optimizations or refinements were made to the type definitions in the newer version. For developers already using version 2.8.11, upgrading to 2.8.12 presents a low-risk opportunity to potentially benefit from these small improvements. Due to the same file count in both versions, a developer should not expect feature enrichment.

For new users of @types/jasmine, starting with the latest available version (2.8.12 in this case) is generally recommended, as it likely incorporates accumulated fixes and refinements over the previous releases within the 2.8.x branch. Ensure compatibility with your specific Jasmine version, as major version mismatches can lead to type-related errors. Since this definition targets Jasmine 2.8, it would make more sense to use the latest version.
