Ts-node version 3.0.4 represents a minor update to the popular TypeScript execution environment for Node.js, building upon the features and capabilities of version 3.0.3. Both versions share a common core, providing developers with a seamless way to run TypeScript code directly without the need for pre-compilation, bolstering rapid prototyping and development cycles. Key dependencies like yn, diff, chalk, arrify, mkdirp, v8flags, minimist, tsconfig, make-error, and source-map-support remain consistent, ensuring stability and compatibility with existing projects. The development dependencies, crucial for testing and linting such as chai, mocha, rimraf, semver, tslint, typings, istanbul, proxyquire, typescript, ntypescript, and tslint-config-standard, also are unchanged..
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the release date. Ts-node 3.0.4 was published on May 4th, 2017, subsequent to the May 3rd publication of the previous, v3.0.3. Because the dependencies and devDependencies between the two are identical it means the newer version probably includes minor bug fixes, performance improvements, or documentation updates which are crucial for projects in active development. If you are using ts-node it is generally advisable to upgrade to the latest patch version within the same minor release (3.0.x), to take advantage of these enhancements and bug fixes. Given the tiny difference in release date, the differences are likely to be inconsequential.
