Versions Summary

The expect npm package has undergone significant evolution since its initial release in 2011. Early versions (0.0.0 - 0.1.1), authored primarily by Enrico Marino and then Michael Jackson, focused on establishing the core functionality of an assertion library. These versions were lightweight, with minimal dependencies, using mocha as a primary development dependency.

The 1.x.x series (2014-2016) saw refinement of existing features and, most importantly, the inclusion of several dev dependencies such as Karma and jshint, growing from version 1.2.0. This era solidified expect as a reliable assertion tool, also indicating a shift towards browser-based testing through karma. Version 1.7.0 introduces assert as a dependency. Version 1.10.0 has a new organizational structure and includes deep-equal and other. New testing related files are included.

A major shift occurred starting with version 21.0.0 (2017), where expect became integrated within the Jest ecosystem. From version 21 onward, expect belongs to the Jest github namespace as is a key component of the Jest testing framework. This transition brought a more structured dependency management, relying on Jest-related packages. Subsequent releases introduced new matchers, improved error messaging, and aligned with Jest's overall feature set.

Versions 22-27 incremented with new minor and patch versions, and included types and other dependencies related to the Jest testing framework. Later versions (28.0.0 - 30.0.5) focused on modularity and optimized performance.

The latest versions (30.x) of the package exports the expect function to the Jest testing framework.
