Version 0.1.6 of ts-jest, released October 8, 2016, builds upon the previous stable version, 0.1.5, released September 22, 2016, offering enhancements for developers utilizing TypeScript with the Jest testing framework. Both versions share the same core purpose: providing a preprocessor with sourcemap support to seamlessly integrate TypeScript code into Jest testing environments. They also maintain identical core dependencies, relying on source-map version ^0.5.6 and typescript version ^2.0.3. However, a crucial distinction arises in the development dependencies.
Version 0.1.6 introduces jest version 16.0.1 and cross-spawn version 4.0.2 as development dependencies. The addition of jest as a dev dependency likely streamlines the testing setup within the ts-jest package itself, potentially aiding in the development and maintenance of the preprocessor. The inclusion of cross-spawn could indicate improved cross-platform compatibility or enhanced process management capabilities during testing. These changes, while seemingly minor, are beneficial for developers as they ensure compatibility with a newer major version of Jest (16.x) and a more robust process spawning implementation for easier configuration.
Users upgrading from 0.1.5 should take note of these newly added dev dependencies, particularly if they have custom testing setups that might be affected by the new Jest version. It's always advised to review the ts-jest changelog and conduct thorough testing post-upgrade to ensure uninterrupted testing workflows. The inclusion of cross-spawn likely simplifies configurations and ensures smoother experience for developers across different operating systems.
