Sinon, a popular JavaScript library for creating test spies, stubs, and mocks, released version 5.0.7 shortly after 5.0.6 on May 7, 2018. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, including tools for improved testability with features like enhanced diffing (diff), controlled time manipulation (lolex), and extended formatting capabilities (@sinonjs/formatio). The development dependencies, essential for contributing to the library, remain consistent as well, offering tools for linting, browser testing, and code coverage analysis; ensuring code quality.
The primary discernible difference between the two versions lies in their unpacked size, with version 5.0.7 being slightly larger at 3,557,693 bytes compared to 5.0.6's 3,557,622 bytes. Developers using Sinon should see this very small increase as a minor change that is unlikely to affect performance of their tests. This may suggest minor bug fixes, packaging adjustments, documentation updates, or very small feature adds in the new version - but ultimately a low impact update.
Developers already using an older version of Sinon can upgrade safely, likely receiving minor enhancements. For new users, starting with version 5.0.7 will guarantee the latest iteration and any subtle improvements it offers, ensuring integration with updated, consistent APIs. The core functionalities provided by Sinon remain consistent in both versions, providing a consistent and reliable toolkit.
