Version 12.12.68 Details

The @types/node package provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to write type-safe Node.js code. Comparing version 12.12.68 to the prior stable release, 12.12.67, reveals subtle yet potentially important differences. Both versions maintain the same core function: offering TypeScript typings for Node.js APIs under the MIT license, sourced from the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub. Neither version lists explicit dependencies, suggesting a focus on core Node.js typings without relying on external type definition packages.

The key difference lies in the dist metadata. While both packages contain 55 files, version 12.12.68 has an unpacked size of 718890 bytes, slightly larger than version 12.12.67's 718404 bytes. This indicates a minor increase in the size of the type definitions, potentially due to added or modified type declarations within the package. Furthermore, the release date shows version 12.12.68 was published on October 16, 2020, whereas version 12.12.67 was released on October 9, 2020 marking a week difference. Developers should consider checking the changelog on DefinitelyTyped's GitHub (in the types/node subdirectory) to see exactly what changed during those 7 days before upgrading. Upgrading is recommended to always get the newest fixes and typings to avoid errors.
