How can I find the @types/node changelog?

Question

I use nodeJs 14 and I can see @types/node has a new version, which is a breaking change. Where can I find the @types/node changelog so I investigate these does not break my application? And do I really care as an applications developer for breaking changes on this package or should I only concentrate on the typescript package which as far I am concerned uses @types/node ?

Answer 1

You can check the differences in the code by using this URL:

https://app.renovatebot.com/package-diff?name=@types%2fnode&from=14.17.20&to=14.17.21

Just adjust the from and to query parameters to your needs.

Answer 2

You can read through the code to see the changes, as described in the answer by @Johannes Klauß, but if you want an actual changelog where the developer describes breaking changes, it doesn't currently exist. There is an open feature request asking for such a log for @types/node.

It seems the developers think that because @types/node follows node itself, then the list of breaking changes for node is sufficient for @types/node. The downvotes on this suggestion in the linked thread suggest that end-user developers disagree.
