Compatibility and supported runtimes

As of Sinon 10 we stopped maintaining compatibility with legacy browsers. Instead, we focus on compatibility with evergreen browsers, Node.js LTS versions and recent Safari versions. The most up-to-date reference on which runtimes and browsers we support can be found by looking at our compatibility docs.

If you need to support old runtimes you can try Sinon 9.
