Sinon.js, a popular JavaScript library for creating test spies, stubs, and mocks, released version 3.2.0 as a minor update following version 3.1.0. Both versions offer core functionality essential for effective unit testing, including tools to observe function calls, replace functions with controlled substitutes, and simulate parts of an application for isolated testing. Key dependencies like diff, nise, lolex, samsam, formatio, type-detect, text-encoding, path-to-regexp, and native-promise-only remain consistent, ensuring stability in the underlying mechanisms for comparing values, faking the environment, and manipulating time.
The devDependencies, crucial for library development, linting, and testing, are also identical. Developers contributing to Sinon itself will find the same set of tools like husky, mocha, eslint, browserify, proxyquire, and others present in both versions. This consistency in development dependencies implies similar build processes, testing strategies, and code quality practices.
While feature parity appears strong between 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 based on the provided metadata, the two-day gap between their release dates (August 8th vs August 10th, 2017) suggests that version 3.2.0 likely includes bug fixes or minor improvements not reflected in the dependency lists. Developers should always consult the official release notes or changelog for a complete list of changes when upgrading, but both releases provide a solid foundation for JavaScript testing.
