Mime version 4.0.5 introduces several updates relevant to developers relying on this comprehensive mime-type mapping library. Released in December 2024, it builds upon the previous stable version 4.0.4 (released in July 2024) with improvements in its development dependencies.
Notably, the newer version upgrades several key tools. Developers using TypeScript will see an upgrade from version 5.5.3 to 5.7.2, offering access to the latest language features and bug fixes. Node.js type definitions are bumped from version 20.14.10 to 22.10.2, ensuring better compatibility with newer Node.js runtimes. Furthermore, the release-please package is introduced at version 16.15.0, potentially streamlining the release process for the maintainers. Several other dev dependencies have been also updated, most noticeably prettier goes from version 3.3.2 to version 3.4.2 and @typescript-eslint/parser and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin go from version 7.15.0 to 8.18.1.
These updates suggest a focus on modernizing the development environment and toolchain. While the core functionality of mime remains consistent – providing a robust mime-type mapping solution – developers contributing to or examining the project will benefit from the updated tooling during development. The unpacked size also slightly increased from 136891 to 147206, likely due to updated dependencies in the newer version.
