Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/react version 16.14.13 is a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular React JavaScript library, following the previous stable version 16.14.12. Both versions provide essential type safety and enhanced developer experience when building React applications with TypeScript. The core functionality remains consistent, as evidenced by the identical dependencies on csstype, @types/scheduler, and @types/prop-types. These dependencies ensure compatibility and type definitions for related styling, task scheduling, and React's prop-types system.

A key detail differentiating the two is the unpackedSize. Version 16.14.13 has an unpacked size of 165757 bytes, slightly larger than the 165666 bytes of version 16.14.12 - potentially indicating small adjustments or additions to the type definitions themselves. The release date also distinguishes them - version 16.14.13 was released on August 11, 2021, a few days after version 16.14.12 released on August 6, 2021.

While the core features and overall structure stay remarkably similar, developers upgrading should be aware of this slight size difference since any update in this space carries the risk of type definition changes that might impact their code. Examining the specific differences (though not provided in the metadata) would require diving into the detailed changelog or comparing the actual type definition files, which might reveal subtle yet important improvements, bug fixes, or expanded type coverage.
