Version 7.4.2 Details

Sinon.js version 7.4.2 introduces subtle but important updates compared to its predecessor, 7.4.1. The core functionality of providing JavaScript test spies, stubs, and mocks remains consistent, ensuring a reliable testing experience. Dependency upgrades are the primary focus, impacting both development and potentially runtime behavior. The "@sinonjs/samsam" dependency sees an update from version 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 and "nise" from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2.

For developers, these changes likely translate to minor bug fixes and performance improvements within the internal workings of Sinon.js. Furthermore, the update of eslint (devDependency) from version 5.14.0 to 6.2.2, eslint-config-sinon from 2.0.0 to 3.0.0, eslint-plugin-mocha from 5.3.0 to 6.1.0 and eslint-plugin-prettier from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0, indicates an alignment with more current linting standards, ultimately contributing to cleaner and more maintainable code within projects that utilize Sinon.js. Prettier also had a change of version but going backward, from 1.16.4 to 1.18.2.

While migration from 7.4.1 to 7.4.2 should generally be seamless, it is always advisable to review your test suite to identify any unforeseen consequences arising from the dependency upgrades, especially if you are directly interacting with the affected internal components. This is particularly relevant for developers heavily reliant on mocking specific behaviors managed by @sinonjs/samsam. Overall, this update shows a commitment to modernizing the underlying tooling and refining the library for a better developer experience.
