Version 7.4.6 Details

@types/ws version 7.4.6 represents a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular ws WebSocket library, building upon the previous stable version 7.4.5. Both versions share the same core characteristics: they provide essential TypeScript type definitions, ensuring type safety and enhanced developer experience when working with WebSockets in TypeScript projects. A key dependency remains @types/node, signifying that the definitions rely on Node.js typings for compatibility within Node.js environments. The MIT license continues to apply, ensuring broad usability and modification rights. The source code's location is consistent, residing within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.

However, subtle differences emerge upon closer inspection. Version 7.4.6 was released on July 2, 2021 at 19:08:33.437Z, approximately two weeks after version 7.4.5 (released on June 17, 2021 at 09:31:35.801Z). The unpacked size increased slightly from 18326 bytes in version 7.4.5 to 18878 bytes in version 7.4.6. While the file count remains the same at 4, this difference indicates that some changes were made to the type definitions that warrant the update. It's likely bug fixes, improved accuracy of existing definitions, or the addition of new type definitions to better reflect the behavior of the underlying ws library. Developers should upgrade to version 7.4.6 to benefit from these refinements, potentially resolving type-related issues or improving code completion and static analysis within their IDEs. The nature of the exact changes would require examining the commit history or changelog in the DefinitelyTyped repository.
