Version 4.5.0 Details

Sinon.js, a popular JavaScript testing library providing spies, stubs, and mocks, released version 4.5.0 shortly after 4.4.10. Both versions share the same core dependencies like diff, nise, lolex, lodash.get, type-detect, supports-color, and @sinonjs/formatio, indicating a consistent foundation for functionality. Similarly, the development dependencies, including tools for linting, testing, and browser compatibility like mocha, eslint, browserify, and proxyquire, remain identical. This suggests a continuous commitment to code quality and compatibility across environments.

The primary difference lies in the distribution details: version 4.5.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size (3516596 bytes) compared to 4.4.10 (3504623 bytes), alongside a later release date. This suggests that 4.5.0 likely includes minor bug fixes, performance improvements, or small feature enhancements that account for the size increase. While the changelog isn't provided here, developers upgrading should anticipate subtle refinements rather than breaking changes. Both versions maintain the same BSD-3-Clause license, author, and repository, ensuring continuity in terms of licensing and development origin. For developers already using Sinon.js, upgrading to 4.5.0 is recommended to benefit from the latest refinements and potential bug fixes. If you are new and using stubs for testing your asynchronous javascript application, this is a good library to use for the sake of writing testable code.
