@types/node provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to write type-safe Node.js applications with enhanced tooling support like autocompletion and compile-time error checking. Version 10.0.2, released on May 1st, 2018, builds upon the previous stable version 10.0.1, released just a day before on April 30th, 2018. Both versions maintain a lean dependency profile with no explicit dependencies, reflecting the nature of type definitions augmenting existing JavaScript libraries.
While both versions share core characteristics like the MIT license and source code hosted on the DefinitelyTyped GitHub repository, a notable difference lies in the unpacked size of the packages. Version 10.0.2 has an unpacked size of 515143 bytes, marginally larger than version 10.0.1's 515096 bytes. This increment, along with the new release date, likely indicates small, incremental improvements or hotfixes to the type definitions. These micro-adjustments could contain corrections for inaccurate typings, added coverage for recently introduced Node.js features, or refinements improving overall type safety, without introducing breaking changes. Developers should upgrade to 10.0.2, since it benefits from the newest improvements. Both versions have a fileCount of 5, the tarball is available in the npm registry.
