Expect.js, a library designed to facilitate writing more expressive and readable assertions in JavaScript tests, saw a minor version bump from 1.7.0 to 1.8.0 in July 2015. Both versions maintain the core function of enhancing test clarity through its readable syntax, allowing better developer experience with tests. While the fundamental dependencies remained identical – relying on assert version ^1.3.0 for core assertion functionality and various devDependencies for testing and development workflows – the key difference lies in the release date. Version 1.8.0 was released on July 17th, 2015, a day after version 1.7.0.
For developers using or considering Expect.js, this update likely represents bug fixes, minor performance improvements, or internal code refactoring with no changes to the public APIs. Both versions support popular testing frameworks like Mocha and utilize tools like Karma, Webpack, and JSHint for testing, bundling, and linting respectively, ensuring compatibility with modern JavaScript development pipelines. The karma-* dependencies (e.g., karma-mocha, karma-webpack, karma-chrome-launcher, karma-sourcemap-loader) indicate strong support for automated browser-based testing, a common practice in web development projects. The library, licensed under the MIT license, is hosted on GitHub, offering easy access to the source code and contribution opportunities.
