Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/node version 14.14.1 is a minor revision of the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, building upon the preceding stable version 14.14.0. Both versions provide essential type information for developers using Node.js within TypeScript projects, enabling enhanced code completion, static analysis, and type safety. They share the same core features: MIT license, hosted on DefinitelyTyped's GitHub repository. They provide the same exact dependecies and filecount.

The key difference lies in the updated release date and a slight increase in unpacked size. Version 14.14.1 was released on October 21, 2020, a day later than version 14.14.0, which was released on October 20, 2020. Furthermore, the unpacked size of 14.14.1 is 734409 bytes, a marginal increase of 380 bytes compared to the 734029 bytes of version 14.14.0.

For developers, this suggests that version 14.14.1 likely includes minor bug fixes, incremental improvements, or very small updates to the type definitions that were not big enough to justify a versioning increase greater than the last digit. Given the minimal file size difference, the changes are likely quite targeted. For TypeScript developers using Node.js, upgrading to version 14.14.1 should be a seamless process, offering potentially refined type information without introducing breaking changes. Using the newest version will ensure that the type definitions are as fine-grained as possible.
