Both versions share the same core purpose: to provide accurate and comprehensive type information for Node.js APIs, enabling TypeScript developers to write safer and more maintainable code. A key similarity is their dependency on undici-types version ~5.26.4, suggesting a continued reliance on these types for HTTP client functionalities and related networking aspects within Node.js.
The key difference is the unpackedSize which went from *2088443* to *2089922* bytes, there are 1479 bytes more in version 20.14.5 respect to the previous version.
For developers, this update signifies a continued commitment to providing up-to-date and accurate type definitions, minimizing potential type-related errors during development and improving overall code quality. The slight size increase could indicate added or refined type definitions, potentially covering previously untyped or vaguely typed APIs. Developers should always update to the newest version to get the latest improvements on types, and improve the developer experience.
