Version 4.2.20 Details

@types/node versions 4.2.20 and 4.2.19 provide TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to leverage the benefits of static typing within their Node.js projects. Both versions are licensed under the MIT license and are maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub. This ensures community-driven updates and accuracy in reflecting the Node.js API.

The key difference lies in their release dates: version 4.2.20 was released on August 24, 2017, while version 4.2.19 was released on August 16, 2017. The newer version, 4.2.20, likely includes minor bug fixes, updated type definitions, or enhancements discovered since the prior release.

For developers using TypeScript with Node.js, these type definitions are crucial as they provide autocompletion, type checking, and other valuable IDE features. Specifically, using @types/node allows for more robust code as the TypeScript compiler can identify potential errors related to incorrect usage of Node.js APIs before runtime. If you are using an older version, upgrading to 4.2.20 ensures you're benefiting from the latest improvements and potentially improved accuracy in the type definitions. If stability is paramount, reviewing the changelogs (if available beyond this data) between these versions on the DefinitelyTyped repository can help assess the impact of the changes before upgrading. The absence of explicit dependencies in both versions suggests a focus on core Node.js types, making them foundational for most Node.js TypeScript projects.
