Version 4.9.3 Details

TypeScript version 4.9.3 introduces several updates and refinements compared to its predecessor, version 4.8.4, that developers should be aware of. While both versions share the core purpose of providing robust JavaScript development capabilities for large-scale applications, key differences emerge in their dependencies and release specifics. The newer version (4.9.3) has a smaller unpacked size (66842561 bytes) and fewer files (108) within the package, suggesting a potential streamlining of the codebase or dependency management and a potentially better performance on installation, opposed to the larger unpacked size (68761436 bytes) and file count (188) of the older version (4.8.4).

A notable change is the update to several development dependencies. For example in the newer version, the typescript dependency is updated to version ^4.8.4, node-fetch to ^3.2.10 and @typescript-eslint/utils, @typescript-eslint/parser, @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin to ^5.33.1. In the older version, the typescript dependency is ^4.5.5, node-fetch is ^2.6.7 and @typescript-eslint/utils, @typescript-eslint/parser and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin version is ^5.28.0. The update of the typescript dependency can be important if you are using it as a dev dependency and want to make sure that your code stays compatible with older versions. node-fetch update is important because it has changed to ES modules from version 3, so it might require you some code change. The update of the eslint dependencies show some internal updates to eslint and possibly bug fixes.

Developers will also see changes to the dependencies like @types/which. Version 4.9.3 introduces, removes, or updates other dependencies that can impact the development workflow. The release dates of the versions are also important, 4.9.3 was released on 2022-11-15 and 4.8.4 was released on 2022-09-27. These changes represent continuous effort to improve the toolchain for TypeScript developers, giving them access to modern and high-performing functionalities.
