Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

The @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin package provides essential linting rules for TypeScript codebases, ensuring code quality and consistency when used with ESLint. Examining versions 5.30.2 and 5.30.1 reveals subtle but important distinctions that developers should consider. Both versions share the same core purpose and dependencies like debug, ignore, semver, regexpp, tsutils, and functional-red-black-tree. They also share the same development dependencies for tasks like documentation generation and code formatting, including chalk, marked, prettier, and typescript, alongside type definitions. Peer dependencies for eslint and @typescript-eslint/parser remain consistent, indicating compatibility is maintained across major ESLint versions and TypeScript parser versions.

The key difference lies in the internal dependencies. Version 5.30.2 updates @typescript-eslint/utils, @typescript-eslint/type-utils, and @typescript-eslint/scope-manager to version 5.30.2, aligning them with the main plugin version. Version 5.30.1 uses version 5.30.1 respectively. While seemingly minor, these dependency updates likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features within the shared utility libraries. These internal updates are crucial for robust and accurate TypeScript linting and therefore are valuable to developers because they guarantee the latest improvements. Furthermore the release date of version 5.30.2 is slightly later than the older one, this proves the newer is an evolution more than just a copy so it introduces fixes and small improvements.
