Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin version 4.16.1 is a minor update to the popular ESLint plugin that brings enhanced TypeScript support to your linting process. Comparing it to the previous version, 4.16.0, several key differences emerge, primarily concerning internal dependencies. Specifically, version 4.16.1 upgrades the @typescript-eslint/scope-manager and @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils packages to version 4.16.1, aligning them with the main plugin version. Previously, these dependencies were at version 4.16.0. While seemingly small, these synchronized updates typically incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially compatibility enhancements within the scope management and experimental utilities used by the plugin.

For developers using this plugin, this update ensures the core functionalities provided by @typescript-eslint/scope-manager and @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils are consistent and up-to-date with the main plugin. This synchronized update promotes greater stability and reliability of the overall linting process. While the file count remains the same at 414, there is a slight increase in unpacked size from 2135404 to 2135590, likely due to the changes within the updated dependencies. The release also occurred within a few hours of the previous version, suggesting a quick fix or small feature addition prompted the new release. Upgrading is recommended to keep your development environment current and benefit from the latest improvements within the TypeScript ESLint ecosystem.
