Version 5.0.8 Details

Sinon.js version 5.0.8 represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 5.0.7, focusing on dependency upgrades and minor internal improvements to this popular JavaScript testing library, widely used for creating spies, stubs, and mocks. One key difference lies in the updated dependencies. For instance, 'diff' sees an upgrade from '^3.1.0' to '^3.5.0', 'nise' goes from version '^1.2.0' to '^1.3.3', 'lolex' goes from '^2.2.0' to '^2.4.2' and 'supports-color' jumps from '^5.1.0' to '^5.4.0'. These updates often incorporate bug fixes, performance enhancements, and potentially new features from the respective dependency libraries.

On the development dependency side, 'eslint' is upgraded from '^4.6.1' to '^4.19.1','npm-run-all' is updated from '^4.0.2' to '^4.1.3' and markdownlint-cli goes from '^0.6.0' to '^0.8.2'. While these changes don't directly impact the library's core functionality, they ensure a more consistent and modern development environment for contributors.

Developers using Sinon.js should note the updated dependencies, as they might indirectly affect the behavior of their tests. While the changes are incremental, upgrading to version 5.0.8 is recommended to benefit from the latest improvements and bug fixes within the Sinon.js ecosystem and its dependencies. The unpacked size has been slightly reduced, which can lead to minor gains during installation.
