Version 2.1.1 Details

TypeScript version 2.1.1, released on November 8, 2016, builds upon the solid foundation laid by version 2.0.10, though the release date of the latter is surprisingly later(November 15, 2016). Both versions, designed for application-scale JavaScript development, share the same Apache-2.0 license and are maintained by Microsoft. Under the hood, both versions rely on a suite of developer tools reflected in their devDependencies, like gulp, mocha, browserify, and various @types packages for enhanced type safety during the development process.

A key difference lies in the specified version of tslint. Version 2.1.1 uses a development version of tslint, specifically 4.0.0-dev.0, implying access to potentially unstable but cutting-edge linting features. In contrast, version 2.0.10 employs tslint version 3.15.1, a more stable and established version. Furthermore, version 2.1.1 explicitly declares a dependency on typescript version 2.1.0-dev.20161101, which is a development build of the typescript compiler itself, and version 2.0.10 declares a dependency on typescript version 2.0.*. This subtle change suggests a shift to a newer compiler build in the newer version, potentially incorporating bug fixes and performance enhancements. Developers should consider whether they prioritize stability (2.0.10) or early access to new features and performance improvements (2.1.1) in their decision-making process.
