Version 4.0.0 Details

Sinon, a popular JavaScript library for creating test spies, stubs, and mocks, saw a significant update from version 3.3.0 to 4.0.0. While the core functionality remains the same, several key changes warrant attention from developers.

One notable difference lies in the dependencies. Version 4.0.0 introduces 'nise' at version '^1.1.0' replacing 'build' at version '^0.1.4' present in version 3.3.0. This could signify improvements in the library's mocking capabilities or enhancements to its speed and stability because nise is a Sinon's sister project acting as fake server that helps you test your application's interaction with the server

The development dependencies remain largely consistent between the two versions. This suggests that the underlying testing and linting processes haven't undergone major alterations. Developers upgrading from 3.3.0 to 4.0.0 should find minimal disruption to their existing workflows related to testing and code quality.

The primary benefit of upgrading to version 4.0.0 would be leveraging the improvements and bug fixes incorporated. Before upgrading, developers should review the changelog for a comprehensive list of modifications and potential breaking changes. It's generally advisable to run tests against the new version in a controlled environment to ensure compatibility and to address any unforeseen issues before deploying the update to production. The release date for version 4.0.0 is September 26, 2017, while version 3.3.0 was released on September 18, 2017, indicating a relatively short period between releases.
