Version 4.2.3 Details

Version 4.2.3 of @types/node, released on February 28, 2017, builds upon its predecessor, version 4.2.2, released February 9, 2017, in providing TypeScript definitions for Node.js. Both versions cater to developers using TypeScript for Node.js development, enabling type checking and improved code completion within their IDEs. The core functionality remains consistent: offering type definitions that describe the Node.js API, allowing TypeScript to understand and validate Node.js code. Both offer MIT licenses.

The key difference lies in the metadata. While version 4.2.2 explicitly lists the author as "Microsoft TypeScript" and "DefinitelyTyped," version 4.2.3 omits the author field entirely, which doesn't signal a change in maintainership, as the repository URL remains the same for both (DefinitelyTyped on GitHub). Therefore, the omission might be related to metadata streamlining or internal tooling changes during the package publication process. Developers looking to use either version can expect the same core benefits: enhanced type safety and a smoother development experience when working with Node.js and TypeScript, so the difference is minimal. From an SEO perspective, both versions provide identical keywords and targets the same developer with TS and Node.js needs. Therefore selecting one version over the other is probably not relevant, and the bigger the version number (4.2.3), is probably subtly preferable.
