Version 27.1.0 Details

Jest version 27.1.0 arrived on August 27, 2021, bringing subtle but potentially impactful changes compared to the previous stable release, version 27.0.6, which was released on June 28, 2021. Both versions maintain the core description of "Delightful JavaScript Testing," indicating a continued focus on developer experience and ease of use.

The primary difference lies in the updated dependencies. Both jest-cli and @jest/core are bumped to their respective 27.1.0 versions, suggesting internal improvements, bug fixes, and potentially new features within the core testing framework and command-line interface. Developers should investigate the changelogs for these specific sub-packages to understand the granular changes. The import-local dependency remains at version ^3.0.2, indicating no changes in how Jest handles locally installed modules.

The peer dependency on node-notifier remains consistent (^8.0.1 || ^9.0.0 || ^10.0.0), implying that desktop notifications for test results are handled identically across both versions for supported node-notifier versions.

While the dist information shows the same fileCount and unpackedSize, this is expected as these stats are only high-level indicators and many internal files can change without changing the public stats. Developers upgrading from 27.0.6 to 27.1.0 should review the specific changelogs for jest-cli and @jest/core to identify any breaking changes or new features that might affect their testing workflows. This minor version upgrade likely focuses on refinements and bug fixes rather than major architectural shifts, ensuring a reasonably smooth transition for users.
