The tslint package, a static analysis tool for TypeScript, saw a version bump from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3, offering subtle yet noteworthy changes for developers. While the core description remains consistent – an extensible linter – the underlying dependencies and tooling received targeted updates. One key difference lies in the tslib dependency, moving from version 1.10.0 to 1.13.0. This update likely incorporates bug fixes and performance improvements within the TypeScript runtime library, potentially enhancing compatibility and stability.
Another significant change appears in the devDependencies. Notably, the specified TypeScript version advanced from ~3.8.2 to ~4.0.0-beta, reflecting an alignment with newer TypeScript features. Developers seeking to leverage cutting-edge TypeScript capabilities within their linting process should take note, although beta versions inherently suggest potential instability.
The unpacked size of the package also saw a modest increase, from 1883226 bytes to 1894316 bytes. This difference indicates that, aside from the typescript and tslib update, there are fixes and added functionality within the linter itself. While both versions maintain the same file count, the release dates differ significantly. Version 6.1.2 was released on April 27, 2020, while the newer 6.1.3 was released on July 31, 2020. This implies that these updates accumulated over approximately three months. Developers should consider this as a refinement of the linter rules, making sure to update to the latest version.
