Version 14.0.21 Details

@types/node provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to leverage TypeScript's static typing benefits within Node.js environments. Version 14.0.21, released on July 10, 2020, represents a minor update over the immediately preceding stable version, 14.0.20, released on July 8, 2020. Both versions share identical dependencies (none), license (MIT), repository URL (DefinitelyTyped), and the number of files included (64).

The most noticeable difference lies in the unpackedSize attribute, where version 14.0.21 registers at 710257 bytes compared to 14.0.20's 710203 bytes. This suggests a slight increase in the size of the typings, possibly indicating added definitions or refinements to existing ones. This increment, while minor, could be important for developers concerned about package size.

For developers considering either version, the critical factor is ensuring compatibility with their specific Node.js runtime version and any TypeScript-dependent libraries within their projects. While the core functionality likely remains consistent, the minor size difference could hint at improved accuracy or broadened coverage of the Node.js API in version 14.0.21. Reviewing the changelog (available on the DefinitelyTyped repository) becomes pivotal if you encountered typing issues with version 14.0.20. Otherwise the upgrade involves no risk.
