TypeScript version 1.8.10 arrived on April 12, 2016, succeeding version 1.8.9 released on March 16, 2016. While both versions share the same core description – a language for application-scale JavaScript development, licensed under Apache-2.0, and maintained by Microsoft – a subtle difference exists in their repository URL format. Version 1.8.10 uses git+https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git, whereas version 1.8.9 uses https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git. This change, incorporating the git+ prefix, might signal a slightly altered Git handling process.
Both versions list identical development dependencies, including tools like TSD, Chai, Jake, Mocha (version 2.3.4), TSLint, Istanbul, Browserify, and Mocha-Fivemat-Progress-Reporter. The presence of typescript: "next" as a dev dependency in both indicates that these versions were actively testing and integrating with upcoming TypeScript releases.
For developers, this means transitioning from 1.8.9 to 1.8.10 is likely a minor update. Focus should be directed to the official TypeScript changelog or release notes for the 1.8.10 version for any specific bug fixes or performance improvements. Given the similarity in listed dependencies, the update seems rather small from the point of view of new features. The core development flow utilizing tools like Mocha for testing or TSLint for linting would remain consistent across each.
