The eslint-plugin-jest package provides ESLint rules specifically designed for Jest, helping developers enforce best practices and maintain code quality in their Jest test suites. Comparing versions 23.8.2 and 23.8.1, there are subtle but notable differences that could impact developers. Both versions share identical dependencies and devDependencies, indicating no significant changes in the underlying tooling or core ESLint rules this plugin relies on. For example, both use the same versions of @typescript-eslint packages, ESLint itself, Prettier, and various Babel packages. This suggests stability in the plugin's core functionality and reliance on its ecosystem. The peer dependency eslint: ">=5" remains consistent, assuring compatibility with ESLint versions 5 and above.
The key difference lies in the dist object. Version 23.8.2 has an unpackedSize of 200810 bytes, while version 23.8.1 is marginally smaller at 200405 bytes. This minor increase likely reflects bug fixes, documentation updates, or very small rule adjustments. Although both versions contain 88 files. While seemingly small, this difference suggests developers upgrading to 23.8.2 may benefit from subtly improved or refined rule implementations. The realease dates differ as well, with 23.8.2 being released on "2020-03-06" and 23.8.1 on "2020-02-29" signifying that version 23.8.2 includes the changes made in the week following the release of 23.8.1. Developers should consult the changelog for detailed information about specific changes, but considering the small size difference the 23.8.2 version is expected to be fully backwards compatible and constitute a bug-fix / patch release.
