Version 16.1.1 Details

Sinon.js, a popular JavaScript testing library for spies, stubs, and mocks, released version 16.1.1 shortly after 16.1.0, offering subtle but potentially impactful changes for developers. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including diff, nise, supports-color, @sinonjs/samsam, @sinonjs/commons, and @sinonjs/fake-timers, ensuring consistent core functionality for creating test doubles. The primary difference lies in the development dependencies. Version 16.1.0 includes the husky package which is missing in 16.1.1. husky is a tool that enables Git hooks, commonly used to automate tasks like linting or running tests before commits. Its removal from 16.1.1 suggests a potential shift in the development workflow or how these hooks are managed.

Furthermore, the dist object reveals a slight variation in the unpackedSize, with 16.1.0 being marginally larger at 4924683 bytes compared to 16.1.1's 4924678 bytes, a difference of 5 bytes which could be due to very minor code changes or build process optimization. The release dates also highlight the rapid succession, with 16.1.1 being released less than two weeks after 16.1.0. Developers should consider these changes when upgrading. Check that any previous tooling related to husky is properly migrated if upgrading from 16.1.0. The fast release cycle could indicate a critical fix or minor update addressing an issue in the previous version. Given Sinon.js's importance in test-driven development, staying informed about these nuances ensures a smooth and reliable testing experience. Both are licensed under BSD-3-Clause.
