Version 3.6.3 Details

TypeScript 3.6.3 is a minor update to the widely used TypeScript language, a superset of JavaScript designed for application-scale development. Comparing it to the immediate predecessor, version 3.6.2, reveals that while the core functionality largely remains consistent, there are subtle yet important refinements that benefit developers. Both versions share identical developer dependencies, including tools for testing (like Mocha, Chai), build processes (Gulp), and type definitions (@types packages), indicating a commitment to a stable development environment. This similarity extends to the licensing (Apache-2.0), repository location (Microsoft/TypeScript on GitHub), and author (Microsoft Corp.), solidifying the consistent development and maintenance practices.

The key differences lie in the release date and unpacked size, where 3.6.3 was released on 2019-09-10 and has an unpacked size of 45886389 versus version 3.6.2 wich was released on 2019-08-28 with unpacked size of 45853960. The increased size probably indicates small bug fixes or internal optimisations not worth of other type of release that are not explicitly listed in the provided metadata but are none the less still important. Developers considering an upgrade should prioritize this version to take advantage of all the fixes and optmizations made. For new projects, starting with 3.6.3 is unequivocally the best choice.
