Version 27.0.0 Details

Jest version 27.0.0 represents an incremental update over the preceding stable version, 26.6.3, in the popular JavaScript testing framework. Both versions maintain the core objective of providing a delightful JavaScript testing experience. Key similarities include the shared description, MIT license, and repository source on GitHub. Core dependencies like jest-cli and @jest/core are updated to their respective version numbers, indicating potential enhancements and bug fixes within the Jest command-line interface and core testing functionalities. The import-local dependency remains consistent at version 3.0.2, suggesting no changes were needed in local module resolution.

A critical difference surfaces with the peerDependencies, where version 27.0.0 specifies node-notifier versions "^8.0.1 || ^9.0.0". This implies compatibility with newer node-notifier features or fixes, giving developers using desktop notifications for test results broader compatibility. Furthermore, the dist metadata reveals changes in the package's size. Version 27.0.0 has an unpacked size of 4668 compared to 4341 in 26.6.3, hinting at feature additions or optimizations increasing the overall size. Lastly, and most obviously the release date of 2021-05-25 indicates a more recent version than the release date 2020-11-04 of the older version. Developers should consider upgrading to leverage the latest improvements and ensure compatibility with their broader development environment.
