Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Version 17.0.79 of @types/react, released on March 18, 2024, provides TypeScript definitions for the React library, essential for developers using React with TypeScript. This release follows closely on the heels of version 17.0.78, published just four days prior on March 14, 2024. Both versions share identical core dependencies, relying on csstype (version 3.0.2 or higher), @types/scheduler, and @types/prop-types for their functionality. The MIT license continues to govern the use and distribution of these type definitions. The source code resides within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, specifically in the types/react directory. While functionally very similar, there's a slight difference in unpacked size, with version 17.0.79 being marginally larger at 170,349 bytes compared to 17.0.78's 169,813 bytes. This suggests minor updates or fixes were incorporated. Developers should check the changelog in DefinitelyTyped to understand the exact nature of the delta in functionalities between these two adjacent versions, even if both versions incorporate the same dependencies it's a good practice check if something was deprecated or changed between those two releases. This package ensures type safety when building React applications with TypeScript, improving code maintainability and reducing runtime errors.
