Midnight Smoker, a tool designed to reliably smoke test packages before publishing, has released version 2.0.3, a minor update over the previous stable version 2.0.2. Both versions provide a robust set of dependencies for conducting comprehensive smoke tests, including chalk for stylized console output, debug for detailed logging, execa for running external commands, ora for creating engaging spinners in the terminal, pluralize for handling word pluralization, strict-event-emitter-types for type-safe event handling, which for locating executable files, and yargs for parsing command-line arguments.
The core functionality remains consistent between the two versions, ensuring a familiar experience for developers already using Midnight Smoker. Developers can continue to expect a straightforward way to verify that their packages function as expected when published to a registry like npm. Looking at the information we can deduct that both versions shares similar information about development dependencies like @commitlint/cli, eslint, prettier, typescript and testing libraries like mocha, sinon and unexpected.
While the changes appear incremental, developers should always review the changelog for potential bug fixes or minor enhancements. The unpackedSize is slighly decreased from 54043 to 53862 in the newer version and the releaseDate shows version 2.0.3 was released roughly fifteen minutes after 2.0.2. Therefore, upgrading to ensure they benefit from the most up-to-date and potentially optimized version of the tool is always a good decision. This meticulous approach can prevent unexpected issues post-publication and guarantee a smoother experience for end-users. Always consider running npm audit after installation for any package.
