Version 0.8.2 Details

TypeScript version 0.8.2, released on January 22, 2013, builds upon the foundations laid by version 0.8.1, which came out on November 15, 2012. Both versions share the same core mission: to provide a language for application-scale JavaScript development. This means developers can write robust and maintainable code using features like static typing, classes, and interfaces, all of which compile down to clean, cross-browser JavaScript.

The key difference between the two versions lies in the introduction of development dependencies in version 0.8.2. Specifically, it includes "jake" as a dev dependency. Jake is a JavaScript build automation tool, similar to Make. Its inclusion suggests improvements or changes in the way the TypeScript project itself was built and tested internally. While seemingly minor from a consumer perspective, this points to increased maturity and improved engineering practices within the TypeScript project.

The upgrade to version 0.8.2 might include bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor language enhancements that weren't substantial enough to warrant specific mention in the metadata. Developers considering upgrading may want explore the changelog of the version 0.8.2 to get more context. Both versions direct developers to the same repository location, indicating a continuous development flow under Microsoft's stewardship. The inclusion of author information in both packages further reinforces the stability and support expected from Microsoft.
