Hi @mohsen1 I got that already. I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the issue. After all, this is a breaking change for TypeScript users and the version number is increased just as if it is a patch. It will break compilations all over the world and people will have to take action.

If you want to fix this, you can publish a minor release (2.6.0) or, even better a major release (3.0.0), then revert the change and make another patch to the older version (2.5.5). Additionally, this should be documented well to avoid further misunderstandings.
