Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

The type package, designed for runtime validation and processing of JavaScript types, saw a significant update from version 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. Both versions share the same core purpose of providing tools for ensuring data integrity and type safety in JavaScript applications. Key features for developers in both releases include mechanisms for checking variable types, validating object structures, and enforcing expected data formats, contributing to more robust and predictable code.

However, version 2.6.0 introduces several notable changes. Most visibly, the development dependencies have been updated. Specifically eslint has been bumped from version 7.21.0 to 8.8.0 and lint-staged from 10.5.4 to 12.3.3. Furthermore the package gains a new devDependency: github-release-from-cc-changelog. This suggests improvements in code quality enforcement, pre-commit checks, and potentially automated release notes generation, streamlining the development workflow. The update is also reflected in the dist section, with an increase in fileCount from 83 to 86 and unpackedSize growing from 69466 to 71397. Finally the release date is almost a year apart signaling a good amount of time has passed. When upgrading is recommended to study the changelog to understand potential backwards incompatible changes in the code.
