Version 1.4.1 Details

Sinon.JS is a powerful JavaScript library providing test spies, stubs, and mocks, essential tools for writing effective and maintainable unit tests. Comparing versions 1.4.1 and 1.4.0, we see subtle but potentially impactful changes, especially in the development dependencies. Both versions share the same core functionality, description, author, repository, and dependency on "buster-format" at version "~0.5". Developers relying on Sinon.JS for its core spying, stubbing, and mocking capabilities will find largely consistent behavior between these releases.

The key difference lies in the "buster-core" development dependency. Version 1.4.0 specifies "~0.6", whereas version 1.4.1 uses ">=0.6.4". This suggests a targeted update to ensure compatibility with newer versions of buster-core within the 0.6.x series or later. Developers who use buster-core for testing Sinon.JS within their projects should carefully consider this dependency change. While the versions are very similar, upgrading to 1.4.1 addresses potential compatibility issues with later patch releases of buster-core. Furthermore, the release dates indicate 1.4.1 followed quickly after 1.4.0, suggesting a quick fix or update was needed. Consider 1.4.1 the slightly more stable choice, particularly if you're using modern tooling.
