Version 16.9.37 of @types/react, a critical package providing TypeScript definitions for the popular React JavaScript library, was released on June 17, 2020, following closely on the heels of version 16.9.36, released on June 10, 2020. Both versions share identical dependencies: csstype (version 2.2.0 or later) and @types/prop-types. They are both MIT licensed and maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.

For developers using React with TypeScript, the @types/react package is essential. These definitions enable strong typing, improve code completion in IDEs, and catch potential errors during development, enhancing the overall development experience and code quality. Given the small delta in size and the short release window between the two versions, the update from 16.9.36 to 16.9.37 is probably a bugfix or a minimal update, so it is recommended to update to the latest. Always consult the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub for comprehensive changelogs or commit history to gain a full overview of the latest changes and improvements.
