Expect, a popular assertion library, saw a minor version update from 1.13.2 to 1.13.3 in December 2015. Both versions, designed to improve assertion clarity in JavaScript tests, share core dependencies like is-equal, is-regex, and object-inspect for robust value comparisons. The development dependencies, crucial for building and testing the library, remain largely consistent between the two versions, including tools like babel, karma, mocha, eslint, and webpack, ensuring a stable development environment.
The key difference lies in the removal of babel-polyfill from the devDependencies in version 1.13.3. This suggests a potential shift in how the library handles polyfilling for older JavaScript environments. Developers using Expect may need to consider this change if their projects rely on specific polyfills provided by babel-polyfill and should ensure that these polyfills are included in their project separately. Furthermore, both versions utilize a comprehensive suite of karma-related tools for cross-browser testing, a MIT License and are authored by Michael Jackson, ensuring flexibility and ease of use. These updates, while minor, are important for developers to consider to maintain compatibility and ensure their testing setup remains optimized. The release dates, spanning just a few days, indicate a quick iteration and refinement of the library.
