Tape 4.16.2 represents a minor update to the popular tape testing library, a TAP-producing test harness favored by Node.js and browser developers. Comparing it to the immediate predecessor, version 4.16.1, reveals subtle yet impactful changes in both dependencies and development dependencies.
Specifically, object-inspect sees an upgrade from version 1.12.2 to 1.12.3 and string.prototype.trim goes from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7, suggesting potential bug fixes or performance improvements within those modules. Similarly, the defined and minimist packages were also updated. On the development side, @ljharb/eslint-config moves from 21.0.0 to 21.0.1, and array.prototype.flatmap goes from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1. Furthermore, aud experiences a notable jump from version 2.0.0 to 2.0.2. These updates ensures developers are using the most current security and linting settings.
Developers considering upgrading should note the potential for minor behavior shifts linked to the updated dependencies. While the core functionality of tape remains consistent, these changes could indirectly influence test execution or output. The size of the package has slightly increased from 317365 to 325755 which may be caused by the addition of the new dependencies. Released approximately four months after 4.16.1, version 4.16.2 benefits from a more recent build and potential resolution of reported issues, promoting stability and security.
