@types/node version 22.16.4 has been released, succeeding version 22.16.3. Both versions provide TypeScript definitions for Node.js, crucial for developers using TypeScript to build Node.js applications, enabling static type checking and improved developer experience. They share a common dependency on undici-types at version "~6.21.0", ensuring compatibility with the Undici HTTP client. Both versions are licensed under the MIT license, reinforcing the permission to use/modify and distribute the project.
A key difference lies in the release date: version 22.16.4 was published on July 15, 2025, while version 22.16.3 was released on July 10, 2025. This indicates that version 22.16.4 incorporates updates and potentially fixes introduced after the earlier release. The unpacked size also presents a slight variation, with version 22.16.4 being marginally smaller at 2,382,539 bytes compared to version 22.16.3 at 2,385,684 bytes - it might suggest some size optimization or removal of redundant definitions in the newer version. Both packages contain 76 files.
For developers, upgrading to version 22.16.4 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest type definitions and potential bug fixes. It ensures your TypeScript code accurately reflects the current Node.js API. If encountering issues after upgrading, or needing definitions precisely matching a past timestamp you could consider downgrading.
