Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/react version 16.14.1 represents a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular React library, following closely on the heels of version 16.14.0. The key difference lies in the dependency list; version 16.14.0 had a dependency on csstype version ^3.0.2, which is entirely absent in the newer 16.14.1. Both versions however, retain the dependency on @types/prop-types using a wildcard, meaning any version compatible with the package is allowed.

Developers should note the removal of the csstype dependency, as this might influence type compatibility in projects heavily reliant on specific csstype declarations within their React components. The removal likely suggests that types previously sourced from csstype might now be handled internally within @types/react or have become unnecessary due to other type improvements and changes.

Furthermore, the package size has decreased slightly, with fileCount dropping from 8 to 7 and unpackedSize shrinking from 160374 to 152433. Finally, the release dates indicate a very short interval between the two versions —about 8 hours. This suggests that version 16.14.1 might have been a quick patch or refinement after the initial 16.14.0 release due to some issue or bug. Developers incorporating @types/react should examine if 16.14.1 resolves any type related issues encountered with 16.14.0 within their specific project contexts.
