Version 1.6.2 Details

TypeScript version 1.6.2, released in September 2015, builds upon the solid foundation of version 1.5.3, released in July 2015, offering several enhancements that improve the developer experience. While both versions share the core purpose of providing a language for application-scale JavaScript development, 1.6.2 introduces tooling and development workflow improvements. A notable addition in 1.6.2 is the inclusion of tslint and mocha-fivemat-progress-reporter as development dependencies. tslint integration encourages code style consistency and helps catch potential errors early in the development cycle. mocha-fivemat-progress-reporter enhances the feedback during testing, providing a more detailed and visually appealing report of test runs. Both versions include essential tools such as chai, jake, mocha, istanbul, and browserify for testing, building, and bundling TypeScript projects. Developers benefit from TypeScript's static typing, which can lead to more robust and maintainable code, especially in large projects. Choosing between the two versions comes down to the tooling preferences: version 1.6.2 provides a faster feedback reporting and linting enforcing code quality and helping catching errors earlier. Both versions are licensed under Apache-2.0, ensuring their open-source nature and availability for wide adoption.
