Version 16.4.1 Details

@types/node version 16.4.1 represents a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, building upon the foundation laid by version 16.4.0. Both versions provide developers with essential type information, enabling robust and type-safe Node.js development within TypeScript projects. They share identical dependencies (none), license (MIT), and repository location within the DefinitelyTyped project. The core purpose remains consistent: to equip developers with accurate and comprehensive TypeScript definitions for Node.js's extensive API.

The key difference lies in the detail: version 16.4.1 addresses specific refinements or bug fixes discovered after the release of 16.4.0. While seemingly small, the unpacked size increase from 796206 to 796219 bytes hints at added, corrected, or modified definitions. Developers should prioritize version 16.4.1 to ensure they're working with the most up-to-date and reliable type information, potentially mitigating subtle type-related errors or incompatibilities that might exist in the earlier 16.4.0 release. The release date difference confirms that 16.4.1 is a patch release intended to improve upon the existing functionality in 16.4.0. Always check for potential breaking changes or added definitions in the release notes. These patches usually provide stability and improved developer experience.
