Jest Image Snapshot, a widely used Jest matcher for visual regression testing, has a new version, 6.4.0, released on December 11, 2023. Compared to the previous stable version 6.3.0, released on November 28, 2023, the core functionalities and dependencies remain largely the same. Both versions share identical dependencies, including "glur", "chalk", "pngjs", "lodash", "rimraf", "ssim.js", "get-stdin", and "pixelmatch", ensuring consistent image comparison capabilities. Similarly, the development dependencies, crucial for the package's build and testing processes, are also unchanged, featuring tools like "jest", "husky", "eslint", and "@commitlint/cli".
Developers familiar with version 6.3.0 will find version 6.4.0 immediately accessible as there are essentially no code changes. The key distinction lies in a slight increase in the unpacked size of the package, rising from 83959 to 84887, however this difference is unnoticeable and can be due to how npm registry packs the files. This subtle difference is unlikely to impact performance or functionality. Both versions maintain the same peer dependency requirement for Jest versions >=20 <=29, so developers should ensure their Jest version falls within this range for compatibility.
