Version 1.12.2 Details

Sinon.JS is a popular JavaScript library providing versatile tools for test spies, stubs, and mocks, essential for writing robust and maintainable unit tests. Comparing versions 1.12.2 and 1.12.1, the primary difference lies in a subtle change within the dependencies section. Version 1.12.2 specifies formatio dependency as "1.1.1", while the previous version 1.12.1 uses "~1.1.1". This seemingly minor change indicates a shift in the allowed range of formatio versions. The tilde (~) in version 1.12.1 permits installation of patch releases (e.g., 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc.) within the 1.1 minor version. Meanwhile, version 1.12.2 specifically locks the dependency to exactly 1.1.1.

Beyond this alteration, both versions share identical core functionality, dependencies like util and lolex, development dependencies for tasks like linting (jscs), testing (buster-*), and local server setup (http-server). Developers choosing between these two versions should consider the implications of the formatio dependency. If strict adherence to the tested formatio version is desired, version 1.12.2 ensures consistent behavior. However, if automatic updates within the 1.1 minor version of formatio are preferred, version 1.12.1 provides slightly more flexibility. The release dates indicate that 1.12.2 followed 1.12.1, possibly to address a specific compatibility concern or bug related to formatio, making it the slightly more advisable choice to ensure the latest fixes.
