Simplytyped version 1.2.3 introduces a minor but potentially impactful change to the peer dependency on TypeScript. The previous version, 1.2.2, specified a peer dependency of typescript: ^2.8.1, meaning it was compatible with TypeScript versions 2.8.1 and any subsequent minor or patch releases within the 2.x range. Version 1.2.3 loosens this restriction slightly, requiring typescript: >2.8.1. This indicates compatibility with TypeScript versions *greater than* 2.8.1.
For developers using Simplytyped, this change is generally positive. It suggests the library is now more forward-compatible and likely incorporates features or fixes that necessitate a slightly newer TypeScript compiler. If you're already using a recent version of TypeScript, no immediate action is required. However, if you're still on TypeScript 2.8.1, upgrading to a later version is recommended to ensure compatibility and leverage the full functionality of Simplytyped 1.2.3. Besides this changed peer dependency the core functionality and dependencies seem to be the same, based on equal devDependencies and unchanged fileCount and unpackedSize. The library remains under the MIT license, authored by Andy Patterson, and hosted on GitHub, reassuring users of its open-source nature and accessible codebase. Consider it as a stability upgrade for the library.
