Version 6.3.5 Details

Sinon.js version 6.3.5 represents a minor update over the previous stable release, version 6.3.4, to this popular JavaScript testing library. Both versions offer powerful tools for creating test spies, stubs, and mocks, enabling developers to write more robust and isolated unit tests. Key features like function spying, allowing inspection of function calls, argument values, and return values, remain consistent. Stubbing, for replacing functions with controlled behavior, continues to provide a mechanism for isolating units under test. Mocking, enabling verification of interactions with dependencies, also functions as expected. The core API for these features remains unchanged, ensuring existing tests remain compatible.

However, developers should note the subtle differences beneath the surface. The 6.3.5 release includes an updated version of @sinonjs/samsam, moving from version 2.1.1 to 2.1.2. Furthermore, lolex dependency was updated from version 2.7.4 to 2.7.5. Examination of the file count and unpacked size in the dist section also reveals a small difference that developers might care about to evaluate the complexity of each version. While potentially minor, these dependency updates often contain bug fixes and performance improvements that enhance the overall stability and reliability of Sinon.js. For developers, upgrading to 6.3.5 offers a potentially more stable testing experience with underlying improvements, while maintaining complete compatibility with existing test suites written for 6.3.4. Therefore, the update is recommended for anyone currently using Sinon.js.
