Version 2.25.0 of @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin brings subtle yet significant updates for developers leveraging TypeScript with ESLint. Building on the already robust foundation of version 2.24.0, this incremental release focuses on refinements and dependency adjustments. A key difference is the updated dependency on @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils, moving from version 2.24.0 to 2.25.0, ensuring tighter integration and access to the latest utility functions for rule development. The package also dropped eslint-utils dependency. While seemingly minor, such updates are crucial for stability and compatibility as they incorporate bug fixes and potentially performance improvements within the experimental utilities package.
Developers should note the consistent peer dependency requirements, with both versions specifying compatibility with ESLint versions 5.0.0 or 6.0.0 and @typescript-eslint/parser version 2.0.0 or higher, meaning upgrading the plugin potentially doesn't force changes to those. Furthermore, both versions maintain the same core development dependencies (chalk, marked, prettier, typescript, and their respective types), indicating a consistent tooling pipeline.
For developers, upgrading to version 2.25.0 offers potential gains in stability and access to the latest helper functions within the @typescript-eslint ecosystem. Although the changes may not appear drastic, staying up-to-date with minor versions is generally recommended to benefit from ongoing maintenance and incremental improvements to the ESLint plugin, ensuring better code quality and adherence to best practices in TypeScript projects. The file count and unpacked size also slightly increased from 314 to 317 and 1459673 to 1466253 respectively, probably due to the added util functions.
