Jest version 27.4.6 is a minor update to the popular JavaScript testing framework, released on January 4th, 2022. It follows closely on the heels of version 27.4.5, which was released on December 13th, 2021. A primary difference between the two versions lies in the updated dependencies. Both versions depend on jest-cli and @jest/core, but 27.4.6 utilizes version 27.4.6 of both packages, while 27.4.5 uses version 27.4.5. The shared dependency, import-local, remains at version 3.0.2. The peer dependency node-notifier, allowing for system notifications, remains consistent across both versions requiring ^8.0.1 || ^9.0.0 || ^10.0.0.
While the core functionalities and licensing (MIT) haven't changed, developers should note the updated dependencies, particularly jest-cli and @jest/core. These updates often contain bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features relevant to the command-line interface and the core testing engine of Jest. Since both versions share the same fileCount (6) and unpackedSize (4740), changes are likely focused on internal improvements and refinements. Developers are encouraged to upgrade to 27.4.6 to leverage the latest enhancements and bug fixes within the Jest ecosystem, ensuring optimal testing performance and reliability.
