Jest Environment JSDOM version 27.0.1 represents a minor patch release over the preceding stable version, 27.0.0, primarily focusing on dependency updates and internal refinements. Developers considering an upgrade should note the changes in core dependencies. Specifically, jsdom has been bumped from ^16.4.0 to ^16.6.0, potentially introducing new features, bug fixes, or breaking changes within the JSDOM environment itself. Users should consult the JSDOM changelog for comprehensive details.
Furthermore, several Jest-related packages saw version bumps. jest-mock, jest-util, and @jest/types moved from "next" versions (e.g., 27.0.0-next.10) to stable 27.0.1 releases. This transition signifies a stabilization of APIs and improvements in these core Jest utilities, reducing potential risks associated with pre-release versions. The @jest/environment and @jest/fake-timers dependencies were also updated from 27.0.0 to 27.0.1.
Beyond dependency tweaks, the unpacked size of the package slightly decreased from 7473 bytes to 7449 bytes. While this difference is marginal, it suggests minor code optimizations or changes in packaged files. The release date difference indicates the newer version was published a couple of hours after the previous. Developers already on the Jest 27.x branch are encouraged to upgrade to 27.0.1 because it brings dependency stabilizations and possibly minor bug fixes inherent in the JSDOM and Jest utility updates.
