Tsimp is a Node.js package designed to simplify the execution and testing of TypeScript code directly within the Node.js environment, eliminating the need for pre-compilation in many scenarios. Versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 share a common feature set, streamlining TypeScript imports and offering a seamless experience for developers, especially when working with test runners or build tools that benefit from on-the-fly TypeScript handling. They both declare the same dependencies like mkdirp, rimraf, pirates, @isaacs/cached, foreground-child which hints to a stable core functionality.
The key difference between the two versions lies in their distribution details, specifically the number of files included and the unpacked size. Version 2.0.1 has a significantly larger file count (228) compared to version 2.0.0 (89), while having a smaller unpacked size (363476 vs 427044). This suggests potential changes in how the package is structured or a reorganization of files within the package. Developers upgrading to 2.0.1 might experience slightly different installation times or storage footprint compared to 2.0.0. Furthermore, the "releaseDate" field indicates that version 2.0.1 was released just minutes after 2.0.0, possibly addressing a minor bug fix or an internal adjustment rather than a major feature addition. Both versions declare a peerDependency on typescript ^5.1.0 which hints at a strong coupling with specific versions of TypeScript compiler and the need to have those installed in your project. Because of all the above developers should read the release notes for 2.0.1 to find out more information about the changes that drove the new build.
