Version 2.8.4 Details

TypeScript version 2.8.4 represents a minor version update following 2.8.3, both iterations of a language designed for application-scale JavaScript development. While the core description and development dependencies remain consistent, subtle shifts point to internal refinements and bug fixes. Both versions share the same suite of development tools for building and testing, including popular libraries such as q, del, chai, gulp, and mocha, indicating a stable development workflow. The consistent listing of type definition packages (@types/*) highlights the strong emphasis on type safety and developer experience.

The notable differences lie primarily in the dist metadata. Specifically, version 2.8.4 has a marginally larger "unpackedSize" (35938439 bytes) compared to 2.8.3 (35935233 bytes). This suggests that code changes or added resources have incremented the overall size of the package. Minor version increments generally imply bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially small feature additions. Developers can expect 2.8.4 to offer a more refined experience than 2.8.3 related to stability and performance. The "releaseDate" also reflects the versions, with 2.8.4 being launched on May 30, 2018 and version 2.8.3 was made available on April 19, 2018.
