Tape, a widely-used TAP-producing test harness for Node.js and browsers, has released version 5.7.1, a minor update following version 5.7.0. While both versions share the same core functionality and MIT license, small but important changes have been introduced.
A key difference lies in the updated dependencies. In version 5.7.1, the resolve dependency has been bumped to 2.0.0-next.5 from 2.0.0-next.4 in the previous version which might bring improvements or fixes concerning module resolution. @ljharb/through has been updated from version 2.3.9 to 2.3.11 which probably includes bug fixes and performance improvements. The file size of the package has also changed slightly, with the unpacked size going from 393081 in version 5.7.0 to 396679 in version 5.7.1, indicating modifications in the code. No changes have been made to the DevDependencies section.
Developers using Tape should consider upgrading to version 5.7.1 for the latest improvements and bug fixes in its dependency tree. Despite the minor nature of the release, ensure compatibility by testing your projects to account for any subtle changes introduced via the updates. The core tape testing API remains consistent between the two releases. This new update happened on 2023-10-11, nearly 3 weeks after the earlier version, 5.7.0 which was released last 2023-09-21. The package and its author continue to be available for funding at the github sponsor page of ljharb.
