@testing-library/react has released version 10.4.8, a minor update from the previous stable version, 10.4.7. Both versions share the same core purpose: providing simple and complete React DOM testing utilities that promote good testing practices. Developers familiar with the library will find the core functionality unchanged. The description, dependencies (@babel/runtime and @testing-library/dom), devDependencies including essential tools like React, ReactDOM, TypeScript, and testing utilities, peerDependencies (React and ReactDOM), license, repository, and author information remain consistent between the two versions, indicating a stable and well-maintained project.
The key difference lies in the internal build and potentially some bug fixes or performance improvements. The 'dist' object reveals a change in the unpacked size, with version 10.4.8 being slightly larger at 5195768 bytes compared to 10.4.7's 5124400 bytes. This size difference, while not drastic, suggests alterations in the compiled code or included assets. Also, the releaseDate indicates that version 10.4.8 was released on 2020-08-05, while version 10.4.7 was released on 2020-07-15, meaning the newer version includes code updates in about 20 days. Developers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version primarily to benefit from these incorporated fixes or enhancements, ensuring they are using the most up-to-date and refined iteration of the library. Because this is a well stablished library, the jump should not be problematic for projects using it.
