Eslint-plugin-jest has released a new version, 25.6.0, succeeding the previous stable version 25.5.0. Both versions are designed to provide ESLint rules specifically tailored for Jest, enhancing code quality and consistency in Jest testing environments. While the core functionality remains consistent, subtle differences exist, primarily in the underlying tooling and package details.
Developers using eslint-plugin-jest will appreciate the focus on compatibility with various ESLint versions (6.x, 7.x, and 8.x) and TypeScript ESLint plugin versions (4.x and 5.x), ensuring a smooth integration into existing projects. The dependencies and devDependencies lists are extensive, indicating a robust development and testing environment. Both versions leverage tools like Jest for testing, Husky and lint-staged for code quality enforcement, and Semantic Release for automated releases.
A closer look reveals that version 25.6.0 introduces slight modifications, such as a difference in fileCount (97 vs 95) and unpackedSize (309014 vs 303043), suggesting potential changes in included files or minor optimizations within the package. While the core dependencies remain the same, developers should always review the changelog for detailed information on bug fixes, new rules, or breaking changes when upgrading between versions. The upgrade to version 25.6.0 seems quite small, but important to have the newest bug fixes if any. The release dates are very close to each other, so probably the new release fixes something the old one had.
