The @typescript-eslint/parser package, crucial for integrating TypeScript codebases with ESLint, has two recent versions: 8.26.1 and 8.26.0. Both versions serve as custom parsers, converting TypeScript code into an ESTree-compatible format that ESLint can understand, enabling powerful linting and code style enforcement. Examining the package metadata reveals that dependency versions are synchronized between the two releases; @typescript-eslint/types, @typescript-eslint/visitor-keys, @typescript-eslint/scope-manager and @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree are the same for both. Their peer dependencies, eslint and typescript, remain consistent, indicating compatibility with existing setups. Developers relying on specific ESLint or TypeScript versions within the defined ranges don't need to adjust their configurations when upgrading between these minor releases.
The key differentiator is the releaseDate. Version 8.26.1 appeared seven days after 8.26.0, suggesting that the update likely contains bug fixes, performance improvements, or very minor feature enhancements not warranting a change in major or minor version numbers. While both versions maintain the same unpacked size (14502 bytes) and file count (9), indicating no significant addition of features, users should still prioritize the update for stability and correctness. As always, developers should consult the changelog to be aware of the changes introduced between version 8.26.0 and 8.26.1 of @typescript-eslint/parser.
