Jest 29.4.2 and 29.4.1 are both versions of the popular JavaScript testing framework, designed to provide a delightful and efficient testing experience. Both versions share the same core description, MIT license, and repository on GitHub. They also have identical dependencies, including jest-cli, @jest/core, @jest/types, and import-local, ensuring consistent functionality for developers relying on these core components. Similarly, the devDependencies for both versions, tsd-lite and @tsd/typescript, remain the same, indicating no changes in the tooling used for TypeScript definition management and type checking. The specified peerDependencies related to node-notifier are also identical, suggesting no alterations in the desktop notifications integration.
However, some subtle differences exist. The most apparent is the version number itself, moving from 29.4.1 to 29.4.2, indicating a patch release. The release date also differs, with 29.4.2 being released on February 7, 2023, while 29.4.1 was released on January 26, 2023. The dist object reveals slight variations: the fileCount changed from 7 to 6, and the unpackedSize decreased from 5396 to 5044 bytes, implying some minor optimizations or file removals in the newer version. These changes suggest that version 29.4.2 likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or small enhancements compared to 29.4.1, making it a recommended upgrade for developers seeking stability and the latest refinements within the Jest ecosystem. Developers should consult the changelog for a comprehensive list of specific changes.
