Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/node version 20.11.14 represents a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, building upon the preceding stable version 20.11.13. Both versions maintain the same core description, providing essential type information for developers using Node.js within TypeScript projects. Crucially, both versions list "undici-types": "~5.26.4" as a dependency, indicating consistency in their reliance on the undici-types package for HTTP client typings. The license remains MIT, ensuring permissive usage, and the repository location on DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped remains constant, pointing developers to the source of these definitions and contribution opportunities.

The key differences lie in the "dist" section, specifically the unpackedSize and releaseDate. Version 20.11.14 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 3985436 bytes compared to 20.11.13's 3985404 bytes, suggesting subtle additions or modifications to the type definitions, which ideally, will be new definitions or bug fixes. Most importantly, version 20.11.14 was released on January 31, 2024, while version 20.11.13 was released on January 30, 2024. This one-day gap highlights the iterative nature of type definition maintenance and the continuous effort to keep the definitions up-to-date with the evolving Node.js ecosystem. Developers should consider upgrading to the newer version to benefit from the most recent type information, potentially resolving type-related issues or improving code completion within their IDEs. The consistent fileCount of 125 suggests that the update likely focused on modifying rather than adding new files.
