Version 2.8.20 Details

@types/jasmine provides TypeScript definitions for the popular Jasmine testing framework, enabling developers to write type-safe Jasmine tests within their TypeScript projects. Version 2.8.20 and 2.8.19 offer similar functionalities, both delivering essential type declarations for Jasmine's core features like describe, it, expect, and matchers. Comparing the two versions, a noticeable difference lies in the release date. Version 2.8.20 arrived on September 15, 2023, a considerable time jump from version 2.8.19 released on January 27, 2022. This suggests that 2.8.20 likely includes fixes, improvements, or refinements accumulated over that period and could be more aligned with recent TypeScript versions.

While examining the packages’ dist section, a small change appears in file structure. Version 2.8.20 includes 5 files in the package, one more than the four files present in version 2.8.19. However, the unpacked size is also marginally different. Despite having one more file, unpacked size of version 2.8.20 is negligibly smaller at 31404 bytes compared to the 31407 bytes of version 2.8.19. Generally, developers should choose the newer version (2.8.20) for the latest type definitions and potential bug fixes. Although it is also important to review the changelogs, often located inside the DefinitelyTyped repository, when switching between versions. The repository URL remains consistent accross both versions for both releases.
