Sinon: No release notes for 7.4.0

[ffflorian]

Hi,
I don't know how this usually works with sinon releases but I was wondering why the latest release 7.4.0 doesn't have a release tag and no release notes. Is there a reason for this or am I just being too impatient? :smiley:

I might have forgot to git push --tags after doing npm publish ...

Does 7.4.x have changes regarding createStubInstance? It's breaking our tests that were passing with 7.3.2

[fatso83]

I'll try to revert @latest to 7.3.2, seeing that the release commits weren't pushed.

[fatso83]

So 7.4.0 has been unpublished and 7.3.2 set as latest. But I might need to ping you again, @hieuunguyeen, as there were no intended breaking changes. The only reason for a version change, AFAIK, was that I bumped the Lolex and Nise version numbers, which added some API's.

Could you try to install the latest Sinon version from master by doing npm install sinonjs/sinon and try to run your tests using that? If they break, could you open a new issue with a reproducible test case?

Not a good move to unpublish a version. You may know that there are lots of automated tools out there updating dependencies automatically. By unpublishing 7.4.0 you have broken our CI pipeline and probably quite a few others.

UPDATE: to make this comment a little more constructive, I would suggest that you deprecate the version next time and publish a new version, so people can roll forward rather than roll back.

@fatso83 Can you please release version 7.4.0? Even if it is just re-releasing the current version. This broke our CI/CD pipeline for hundreds of packages.

[fatso83]

Sorry about this noise. A bit rusty on the NPM intricasies. 7.4.1 has been released to remedy the situation.

@gajus It's not possible to reuse a version that has been unpublished, so 7.4.0 will stay gone.
