@types/node version 20.11.2 is a minor release of the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, following closely on the heels of version 20.11.1. Both versions share identical dependencies, specifically "~5.26.4" of the undici-types package, and are licensed under the MIT license, ensuring broad usability. The source code for these type definitions resides within the types/node directory of the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.
While seemingly similar, a key difference lies in the dist object. Version 20.11.2 reports an unpackedSize of 3975207 bytes, a minuscule decrease compared to 20.11.1's 3975211 bytes. This suggests potential minor optimizations or corrections within the type definitions. The fileCount remains constant at 125, implying that the number of definition files hasn't changed, just their content or size a little bit.

For developers using @types/node, the upgrade from 20.11.1 to 20.11.2 should be seamless, as the API compatibility appears to be maintained.
