Sinon.js is a popular JavaScript library that provides spies, stubs, and mocks for unit testing. Versions 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 are very similar, sharing identical dependencies such as "diff," "nise," and "@sinonjs/formatio" underscoring a commitment to stable core functionality. The devDependencies also align, including tools like "mocha" for testing, "eslint" for linting, and "rollup" for bundling, confirming a consistent development workflow. This duplication in the development dependencies shows a focus on keeping the utilities used to make and test the library consistent.
The primary difference lies in the release date and, subtly, the unpacked size, signifying minor bug fixes and improvements between versions. Version 6.0.1 comes roughly two weeks after version 6.0.0. The tiny size difference (4,465,461 vs 4,468,660) might indicate small tweaks in either source code or assets. For developers already using Sinon.js, upgrading from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 represents a low-risk way to incorporate potential bug fixes that were implemented after the release of version 6.0.0, and to make sure they are using the most recent stable build.
