title: How to update an older version of a type
body: <p>I have a project that runs AngularJS 1.5.x, and it uses type declarations from DefinitelyTyped: <code>@types/angular@1.5.23</code>. This is the last 1.5.x version, and it was published 3 years ago. Since then, the package has moved on to version 1.6.x.</p>
  <ul>
  <li>See the DefinitelyTyped repo sources for angular: <a href="https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/angular" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/angular</a></li>
  </ul>
  <p>The problem with 1.5.23 is its use of an <code>any</code> indexer on <code>IScope</code>, which has since been patched in version 1.6.27. But we can't exactly upgrade to 1.6.27, because we're not using angular 1.6.x — we're locked to 1.5.</p>
  <p>My question is: what are my options for dealing with this?</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Does DefinitelyTyped have a mechanism for publishing an update for an older version of a library?</li>
  <li>Will it get picked up by the <code>@types</code> publisher and published to npm as <code>1.5.24</code>?</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Thanks</p>
