Sinon.js is a popular JavaScript library providing versatile tools for test spies, stubs, and mocks, useful for isolating units of code in testing environments. Comparing versions 6.1.0 and 6.0.1, developers will find only minor differences in terms of functionality, as the core dependencies and development dependencies remain almost identical in both versions. Both versions share the same core dependencies like "diff," "nise," "lolex", "@sinonjs/formatio", "type-detect", "supports-color" and "lodash.get" ensuring consistent behavior regarding diffing, fake timers, formatting and type checking. Similarly, the developer dependencies, including tools for linting (eslint), building (rollup, browserify), testing (mocha, mochify, puppeteer, proxyquire, samsam) and code coverage (mochify-istanbul), stay the same.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the "dist" metadata, revealing a slightly larger unpacked size for version 6.1.0 (4474599 bytes) compared to version 6.0.1 (4468660 bytes). This small size difference suggests minor code changes or addition of assets but it does not reveal substantial and breaking modification. Additionally, the release dates differ, with version 6.1.0 released on July 3, 2018, subsequent to version 6.0.1 released on June 24, 2018. For developers, upgrading from 6.0.1 to 6.1.0 should be relatively smooth, as no major dependency updates or breaking changes appear evident from the data, although running tests after upgrading is always advisable.
