Version 5.0.2 Details

TypeScript 5.0.2 introduces several key changes compared to version 4.9.5, influencing the developer experience. A notable difference lies in the updated versions of development dependencies. Version 5.0.2 shifts focus, specifying exact or narrower version ranges for tools like typescript itself (as a dev dependency, pinned to 5.0.0-dev.20230112), @types/node, @types/glob, and @types/chai, moving away from the "latest" tag approach for several type definition packages. This is a change that ensures a more stable and predictable build, reducing the risk of unexpected breakages due to automatic updates of tooling in version 4.9.5. In 5.0.2, esbuild, hereby, jsonc-parser, @esfx/canceltoken, eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort are introduced, showing a more modern toolchain. Version 5.0.2 also reduces the archive size, having almost half the unpackedSize(39MB vs 66MB), this translates into faster installation times and reduced disk space usage, directly benefiting both local development and CI/CD pipelines. Notably, version 5.0.2 drops dependencies like several gulp-* plugins, merge2, mkdirp, xml2js , fancy-log. While both versions maintain essential functionalities and share the same core license and repository, developers upgrading should be mindful of these changes to ensure compatibility and leverage the optimized toolchain in the newer version. The jump to 5.0.2 brings refined stability and potentially performance enhancements.
