Version 6.3.3 Details

Sinon.js version 6.3.3 represents a minor update over version 6.3.2, offering subtle yet potentially impactful improvements for JavaScript testing. Primarily, the core dependencies have been updated, specifically @sinonjs/samsam moving from version 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 and @sinonjs/formatio jumping from version 2.0.0 to version 3.0.0. These updates within the Sinon.js ecosystem likely incorporate bug fixes, performance enhancements, and possibly new features within the underlying assertion and formatting logic used by Sinon.js. While the nise dependency experienced a smaller bump from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5, these internal improvements could lead to more reliable and accurate test spies, stubs, and mocks.

For developers using Sinon.js, this minor version bump signifies a commitment to dependency maintenance and continuous improvement. Upgrading from 6.3.2 to 6.3.3 may result in more stable and predictable test behavior, particularly in edge cases related to object comparison and formatting. While the developer-facing API likely remains consistent, the internal improvements provide a solid foundation for existing test suites and may help resolve previously encountered inconsistencies. One thing to consider is that uncompressed size of the package shrank slightly in the newer version, suggesting minor tweaks to the final build that might have positive impact on the size of the deployments.
