Jest version 29.0.2 represents a minor update over its predecessor, 29.0.1, within the popular JavaScript testing framework. Both versions maintain the core description of "Delightful JavaScript Testing" and share fundamental dependencies like jest-cli, @jest/core, @jest/types, and import-local. Developers will find the peer dependency on node-notifier consistent, allowing for notifications across different versions of the library. Both versions also preserve the MIT license which ensures use for both open source and commercial scenarios.
The key difference lies in the updated versions of the core Jest dependencies such as jest-cli, @jest/core, and @jest/types, moving from 29.0.1 to 29.0.2 indicating bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature additions in those core components impacting the overall Jest experience. Another noticeable difference is in the devDependencies, specifically @tsd/typescript, which upgrades from version 4.7.4 to 4.8.2. for version 29.0.2. This suggests potential improvements in TypeScript definition tooling and potentially better support for newer TypeScript features. Also worth noticing is the release date difference, with version 29.0.2 releasing on September 3, 2022, subsequent to the version 29.0.1 release date of August 26, 2022. This demonstrates the recency of version 29.0.2 and the development team dedication to improve the product. Developers should upgrade to 29.0.2 to take advantage of those improvements.
