Version 20.1.6 was released on May 16, 2023, at 19:03:03.069Z, shortly after version 20.1.5, which was released earlier that same day at 01:03:03.214Z. Both versions maintain the description as TypeScript definitions for Node.js and share the same MIT license and GitHub repository. Neither version declares any dependencies, indicating they primarily focus on providing type information rather than relying on external code.
The distribution details show a slight difference: version 20.1.6 has an unpacked size of 3,772,769 bytes, while version 20.1.5 shows 3,772,940 bytes. Both are provided via a tarball from the npm registry and include 125 files. This slight alteration in unpackedSize may indicate minor adjustments or fixes within the type definitions. Developers should consider that even small changes in type definitions can impact type checking and code completion in their projects. Reviewing the detailed changes between these versions in the DefinitelyTyped repository might reveal specific fixes or improvements relevant to their codebase, making it a worthwhile update. If you're using @types/node for your Node.js TypeScript projects, keeping up to date with these patch releases is important for catching bug fixes and improvements to type definitions.
