Version 4.0.2 Details

Supertest is a valuable npm package designed to streamline HTTP server testing, built upon the robust SuperAgent library. Comparing versions 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 reveals subtle but important differences for developers. Both versions share the same core dependencies like "methods" and "superagent" and development dependencies including tools such as nyc for coverage, nock for mocking HTTP requests, mocha for testing, and eslint for code linting. They both use the same eslint configurations and plugins, ensuring code style consistency across the versions. Crucially, the dependency lists remain identical; this suggests no significant feature additions or breaking changes in external library requirements between the two releases.

The key difference lies in the "dist" object which indicates the distribution package. Notably, the "unpackedSize" differs slightly. Version 4.0.2 has an unpacked size of 19834 bytes, while 4.0.1 is 20225 bytes. This implies that version 4.0.2 is slightly smaller, potentially indicating minor code optimizations, bug fixes, or whitespace/comment removals. Furthermore, their release times are close, with version 4.0.2 being released only minutes after version 4.0.1. This suggests a quick patch or minor adjustment was made. For developers, upgrading is likely beneficial for the potential performance boost and bug fixes. Verify your existing tests pass after upgrading, and examine the detailed commit history for specifics on changes made.
