Version 8.5.2 Details

The @types/ws package provides TypeScript definitions for the popular ws library, enabling developers to leverage the benefits of static typing when working with WebSockets in their TypeScript projects. Version 8.5.2, released on March 1, 2022, is a minor update following version 8.5.1, which was released on February 24, 2022. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on @types/node for Node.js specific typings. The license remains MIT, ensuring broad compatibility across different projects. The source code continues to be hosted on GitHub within the DefinitelyTyped repository, making contributions and issue tracking straightforward.

While both versions have the same number of files (5) within the package, version 8.5.2 shows a slight increase in unpacked size, from 20273 bytes to 20798 bytes. This suggests that the update includes minor changes to the type definitions, potentially adding new features, refinements to existing definitions, or bug fixes. For developers using the ws library, upgrading to version 8.5.2 is recommended. The upgrade offers potential benefits such as improved type safety, better autocompletion in code editors, and enhanced compatibility with the latest version of the ws library. The differences between the versions are minor so it is expected that the migration should be fast and with no effort.
