Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Version 16.9.46 of @types/react, released on August 10, 2020, is a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular React library, succeeding version 16.9.45, which was released on August 8, 2020. Both versions share identical core specifications: they depend on the same versions of csstype (specifically ^3.0.2) and @types/prop-types to maintain compatibility with styles and prop definitions within React components. The license remains MIT, and the source code repository is consistently located within the DefinitelyTyped GitHub repository under the types/react directory.

The primary difference lies in the unpacked size of the package. Version 16.9.46 registers a slightly larger size of 158400 bytes, compared to 158346 bytes in version 16.9.45, hinting at potentially minor additions or modifications to the type definitions. Developers adopting this version can expect a consistent API surface for React components, ensuring smooth transitioning between versions. While the core React experience and type checking mechanisms are likely unaffected, the subtle size difference may reflect improved type accuracy, refinements, or the inclusion of definitions for newly introduced React features or edge cases at the time. For those heavily relying on detailed type information and aiming for the most precise and current React typings, upgrading to version 16.9.46 is advisable to leverage any potential refinements included.
