Version 4.6.1 of @typescript-eslint/parser represents a minor update following version 4.6.0. Both versions serve as ESLint custom parsers, expertly leveraging TypeScript ESTree to enable robust linting of TypeScript code. While the core functionality remains consistent, several key differences emerge that developers should be aware of.
Dependencies reveal crucial changes: while both releases share debug, the @typescript-eslint scoped packages (types, scope-manager, typescript-estree) are updated to version 4.6.1 in the newer release, reflecting underlying improvements and bug fixes within those core modules. Similarly, the devDependencies @typescript-eslint/shared-fixtures and @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils also received a bump to 4.6.1. This indicates potential refinement in tooling and utilities used in the parser's development and testing. Users should consult the changelogs for those specific packages to understand the precise nature of those changes.
Importantly, the peerDependencies, license, repository, and funding information remain constant, reaffirming no significant changes in supported ESLint versions, licensing terms, project location, or funding mechanisms. A notable change is the unpackedSize of the package, which grew marginally from 57908 to 58084 bytes, pointing to minor code additions or adjustments in the newer release. Finally, the releaseDate distinguishes the fresh version, published on November 2nd, 2020, from its predecessor released on October 26th, 2020. Developers upgrading should prioritize reviewing the changelogs to understand the specific bug fixes and enhancements included in the 4.6.1 release.
