@types/yargs provides TypeScript definitions for the popular yargs command-line argument parser. Version 11.1.6 was released on August 5th, 2020, following version 11.1.5 which landed on January 31st, 2020. Both versions maintain the same core characteristics: a MIT license, an empty dependencies list (indicating no direct runtime dependencies beyond yargs itself), and reside within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.
The key difference lies in the updated definitions themselves and the implied bug fixes or feature support they encompass. The newer version,11.1.6, has a slightly larger unpacked size of 17128 bytes compared to 11.1.5's 17023 bytes, a difference of 105 bytes. While seemingly small, this difference likely reflects refinements in the TypeScript type definitions. Developers using yargs with TypeScript should upgrade to 11.1.6 to benefit from the most accurate and up-to-date type information, potentially resolving type-related issues or enabling better code completion and static analysis. The update ensures compatibility with newer yargs features or TypeScript language constructs introduced between the release dates. The release date separation of over 6 months suggests a worthwhile accumulation of improvements.
