A full version history of the @types/mocha package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
The @types/mocha package has undergone numerous version updates, reflecting ongoing enhancements and adaptations to the evolving landscape of TypeScript and Mocha testing. Initially, versions 2.2.27 through 2.2.35 primarily targeted Mocha 2.2.5, with gradual modifications in author attribution and the eventual introduction of peerDependencies. A significant shift occurred with version 2.2.36, marking the first appearance of @types/node as a dependency.
The 5.x release cycle brought new features and internal improvements, with version 5.1.0 adding @types/node as a dependency and versions 5.2.x demonstrating fluctuations on fileCount e unpackedSize.
The 7.x and 8.x versions maintained a consistent dependency structure with each one increasing the unpackedSize. Since the 9.x and 10.x the package maintains a simple setup with no dependencies.
The latest version, 10.0.10, continues this trend, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining up-to-date and reliable TypeScript definitions for Mocha.
This iterative development underscores the dedication of the DefinitelyTyped community to providing high-quality type definitions. By continuously refining and adapting @types/mocha, developers gain access to the most accurate and compatible type information, streamlining their testing workflows.
