Version 20.9.1 of @types/node, a package providing TypeScript definitions for Node.js, was released on November 16, 2023, succeeding version 20.9.0 which came out on November 7, 2023. Both versions depend on undici-types version ~5.26.4 and are licensed under MIT. Developers using Node.js with TypeScript rely on this package for type safety and autocompletion.
Examining the distributions, both versions contain 125 files within the package. However, a minor size difference exists: version 20.9.1 has an unpacked size of 3,921,953 bytes, while version 20.9.0 has an unpacked size of 3,922,411 bytes. The newer version is slightly smaller, suggesting potential minor optimizations or adjustments in the type definitions included.
Given the rapid release cadence and minimal differences highlighted in the metadata, the changes between 20.9.0 and 20.9.1 are likely incremental and might address specific edge cases, bug fixes in the type definitions, or minor improvements contributing to the reduced size. Developers are unlikely to notice significant breaking changes between these versions. Updating is recommended to ensure the latest refinements and accuracy in type hinting are being utilized within their TypeScript Node.js projects. Checking the DefinitelyTyped repository's commit history for types/node around the release dates may reveal the specific changes made.
