Version 8.5.14 Details

@types/ws version 8.5.14 represents a notable update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular 'ws' WebSocket library, succeeding version 8.5.13. While both versions maintain the core dependency on @types/node and share the same MIT license and repository origin within DefinitelyTyped, several key differences emerge.

The most immediately apparent change is the significantly larger unpacked size of version 8.5.14, jumping to 38759 bytes from 8.5.13's 21644 bytes. This suggests a substantial increase in the amount of type definitions, potentially including more comprehensive coverage of the 'ws' API, improved type safety, or the addition of definitions for previously missing features. Developers utilizing TypeScript with 'ws' should find this update advantageous, as it promises to provide a more accurate and complete representation of the library's functionalities, leading to fewer type-related errors and a smoother development experience.

Furthermore, the release date highlights a considerable gap, with version 8.5.14 released in January 2025, whereas 8.5.13 happened in November 2024. This indicates a period where considerable effort was invested in refining and expanding the type definitions. The maintained file count at 6 further implies that only the sizes of the files are increased, not the number of files. Developers should strongly consider upgrading to version 8.5.14 to benefit from these enhancements.
