@types/ws versions 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 offer TypeScript definitions for the popular ws WebSocket library. While seemingly incremental, the update from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1, released on September 6th, 2018, compared to the August 14th release of version 6.0.0, includes subtle yet potentially important changes for developers using TypeScript with WebSockets. Both versions depend on @types/node and @types/events, ensuring compatibility with Node.js environments and standard event handling patterns. The core functionality of the definitions remains consistent, providing type safety and autocompletion for the ws library's API.
A key difference is the slight increase in unpacked size in version 6.0.1: 12791 bytes compared to 12789 bytes in 6.0.0. This suggests minor internal modifications or additions to the type definitions; even though the number of files stays the same suggesting that definitions inside the files changed. Whether these alterations impact your project depends on the specific WebSocket features you utilize and the strictness of your TypeScript configuration. If you encounter type-related issues when upgrading from version 6.0.0, examining the diff between the two versions' declaration files might reveal the cause. If you just installed the package it's highly recommended to use the latest stable version for the best compatibility.
