Jest 30
Today we are happy to announce the release of Jest 30. This release features a substantial number of changes, fixes, and improvements. While it is one of the largest major releases of Jest ever, we admit that three years for a major release is too long. In the future, we are aiming to make more frequent major releases to keep Jest great for the next decade.
If you want to skip all the news and just get going, run npm install jest@^30.0.0 and follow the migration guide: Upgrading from Jest 29 to 30.
