Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/node version 22.13.0 represents a subtle but noteworthy update to the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, building upon the foundation laid by version 22.12.0. Both versions maintain the same core dependencies, relying on undici-types version ~6.20.0 for accurate type information related to the undici HTTP client. This consistency suggests that the core functionalities related to HTTP interactions within Node.js remain consistent between the two versions.

However, a notable difference lies in the unpacked size, with version 22.13.0 weighing in at 2,311,331 bytes compared to version 22.12.0's 2,296,605 bytes. This increase, although relatively small, indicates the inclusion of potentially updated or expanded type definitions. Developers should be mindful that this could include subtle refinements, additions of new type definitions for recently introduced Node.js features, or even typo or documentation fixes within the type definitions.

The releaseDate differs, with version 22.13.0 released on January 31, 2025, after version 22.12.0 released on January 28, 2025. Developers should evaluate the changelog (if available) or a diff between the two versions to pinpoint the exact changes and determine if the update addresses any specific needs, bug fixes, or enhancement they require within their Node.js TypeScript projects. Regardless the impact is very low and the upgrade risk is almost zero.
