Tape is a TAP-producing test harness designed for both Node.js and browser environments, offering a simple and straightforward approach to writing JavaScript tests. Version 5.7.0 builds upon the solid foundation of its predecessor, version 5.6.6, incorporating subtle but important improvements that enhance the developer experience. A key difference lies in the updated dependencies, specifically within the core dependencies. "array.prototype.every" advances from version 1.1.4 to 1.1.5, and "string.prototype.trim" goes from version 1.2.7 to 1.2.8. Additionally, version 5.7.0 includes "array.prototype.every":"^1.1.5", which was not in the older version.
While these seem small, dependency updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, or security patches, making the upgrade worthwhile for users prioritizing stability and up-to-date code. In development dependencies, "array.prototype.flatmap" goes from version 1.3.1 to 1.3.2. Version 5.7.0 also sees an increase in its unpacked size to 393081 compared to 367710 in the previous version, plus it has an additional 3 files in the package, potentially indicating addition of new features, improved documentation, or more comprehensive test coverage that developers can appreciate. The most recent version was released on September 21st, 2023, while version 5.6.6 was released on July 18th, 2023. Both versions are licensed under MIT License.
