16### EXTENDED `npm init` SCAFFOLDING
17
18Thanks to the wonderful efforts of [@jdalton](https://github.com/jdalton) of
19lodash fame, `npm init` can now be used to invoke custom scaffolding tools!
20
21You can now do things like `npm init react-app` or `npm init esm` to scaffold an
22npm package by running `create-react-app` and `create-esm`, respectively. This
23also adds an `npm create` alias, to correspond to Yarn's `yarn create` feature,
24which inspired this.

35### DEPENDENCY AUDITING
36
37This version of npm adds a new command, `npm audit`, which will run a security
38audit of your project's dependency tree and notify you about any actions you may
39need to take.
40
41The registry-side services required for this command to work will be available
42on the main npm registry in the coming weeks. Until then, you won't get much out
43of trying to use this on the CLI.
44
45As part of this change, the npm CLI now sends scrubbed and cryptographically
46anonymized metadata about your dependency tree to your configured registry, to
47allow notifying you about the existence of critical security flaws. For details
48about how the CLI protects your privacy when it shares this metadata, see `npm
49help audit`, or [read the docs for `npm audit`
50online](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/release-next/doc/cli/npm-audit.md). You
51can disable this altogether by doing `npm config set audit false`, but will no
52longer benefit from the service.

152  Fix a scenario where a git dependency had a comittish associated with it
153  that was not a complete commitid.  `npm` would never consider that entry
154  in the `package.json` as matching the entry in the `package-lock.json` and
155  this resulted in inappropriate pruning or reinstallation of git
156  dependencies.  This has been addressed in two ways, first, the addition of the
157  `from` field as described in [#20384](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20384) means
158  we can exactly match the `package.json`. Second, when that's missing (when working with
159  older `package-lock.json` files), we assume that the match is ok.  (If
160  it's not, we'll fix it up when a real installation is done.)

337## v5.9.0 (2018-03-23):
338
339Coming to you this week are a fancy new package view, pack/publish previews
340and a handful of bug fixes! Let's get right in!
341
342### NEW PACKAGE VIEW
343
344There's a new `npm view` in town.  You might it as `npm info` or `npm show`.
345The new output gives you a nicely summarized view that for most packages
346fits on one screen.  If you ask it for `--json` you'll still get the same
347results, so your scripts should still work fine.

363  `byte-size@4.0.2`
364
365### PACK AND PUBLISH PREVIEWS
366
367The `npm pack` and `npm publish` commands print out a summary of the files
368included in the package.  They also both now take the `--dry-run` flag, so
369you can double check your `.npmignore` settings before doing a publish.

373  Add package previews to pack and publish.  Also add --dry-run and --json
374  flags.

376
377### MERGE CONFLICT, SMERGE CONFLICT
378
379If you resolve a `package-lock.json` merge conflict with `npm install` we
380now suggest you setup a merge driver to handle these automatically for you.
381If you're reading this and you'd like to set it up now, run:
382
383```console
384npx npm-merge-driver install -g

432## v5.8.0 (2018-03-08):
433
434Hey again, everyone! While last release was focused largely around PRs from the
435CLI team, this release is mostly pulling in community PRs in npm itself and its
436dependencies! We've got a good chunk of wonderful contributions for y'all, and
437even new features and performance improvements! ��
438
439We're hoping to continue our biweekly (as in every-other-week biweekly) release
440schedule from now on, so you should be seeing more steady npm releases from here
441on out. And that's good, 'cause we've got a _ton_ of new stuff on our roadmap
442for this year. Keep an eye out for exciting news. ��

448  Make a best-attempt at preserving line ending style when saving
449  `package.json`/`package-lock.json`/`npm-shrinkwrap.json`. This goes
450  hand-in-hand with a previous patch to preserve detected indentation style.

457  [#19929](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/19929)
458  Add support for the [`NO_COLOR` standard](http://no-color.org). This gives a
459  cross-application, consistent way of disabling ANSI color code output. Note
460  that npm already supported this through `--no-color` or
461  `npm_config_color='false'` configurations, so this is just another way to do
462  it.

489### NPM CI
490
491I hope y'all have been having fun with `npm ci` so far! Since this is the first
492release since that went out, we've had a few fixes and improvements now that
493folks have actually gotten their hands on it! Benchmarks have been super
494promising so far, and I've gotten messages from a lot of you saying you've sped
495up your CI work by **2-5x** in some cases! Have a good example? Tell us on
496Twitter!

498`npm ci` is, right now, [the fastest
499installer](http://blog.npmjs.org/post/171556855892/introducing-npm-ci-for-faster-more-reliable)
500you can use in CI situations, so go check it out if you haven't already! We'll
501continue doing performance improvements on it, and a lot of those will help make
502`npm install` fast as well. ����

506  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
507
508This `libcipm` release includes a number of improvements:
509
510* **PERFORMANCE** Reduce calls to `read-package-json` and separate JSON update phase from man/bin linking phase. `npm ci` should be noticeably faster.
511* **FEATURE** Progress bar now fills up as packages are installed, instead of sitting there doing nothing.
512* **BUGFIX** Add support for `--only` and `--also` options.
513* **BUFGIX** Linking binaries and running scripts in parallel was causing packages to sometimes clobber each other when hoisted, as well as potentially running too many run-scripts in parallel. This is now a serial operation, and it turns out to have had relatively little actual performance impact.
514* **BUGFIX** Stop adding `_from` to directory deps (aka `file:packages/my-dep`).

675## v5.7.1 (2018-02-22):
676
677This release reverts a patch that could cause some ownership changes on system
678files when running from some directories when also using `sudo`. ��
679
680Thankfully, it only affected users running `npm@next`, which is part of our
681staggered release system, which we use to prevent issues like this from going
682out into the wider world before we can catch them. Users on `latest` would have
683never seen this!
684
685The original patch was added to increase consistency and reliability of methods
686npm uses to avoid writing files as `root` in places it shouldn't, but the change
687was applied in places that should have used regular `mkdirp`. This release
688reverts that patch.

696## v5.7.0 (2018-02-20):
697
698Hey y'all, it's been a while.  Expect our release rate to increase back to
699normal here, as we've got a lot in the pipeline.  Right now we've got a
700bunch of things from folks at npm.  In the next release we'll be focusing on
701user contributions and there are a lot of them queued up!
702
703This release brings a bunch of exciting new features and bug fixes.
704
705### PACKAGE-LOCK GIT MERGE CONFLICT RESOLUTION
706
707Allow `npm install` to fix `package-lock.json` and `npm-shrinkwrap.json`
708files that have merge conflicts in them without your having to edit them.
709It works in conjunction with
710[`npm-merge-driver`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-merge-driver) to
711entirely eliminate package-lock merge conflicts.
712
713* [`e27674c22`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e27674c221dc17473f23bffa50123e49a021ae34)
714  Automatically resolve merge conflicts in lock-files.
715  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
716
717### NPM CI
718
719The new `npm ci` command installs from your lock-file ONLY.  If your
720`package.json` and your lock-file are out of sync then it will report an error.
721
722It works by throwing away your `node_modules` and recreating it from scratch.
723
724Beyond guaranteeing you that you'll only get what is in your lock-file it's
725also much faster (2x-10x!) than `npm install` when you don't start with a
726`node_modules`.
727
728As you may take from the name, we expect it to be a big boon to continuous
729integration environments.  We also expect that folks who do production
730deploys from git tags will see major gains.

754  Handle running `npm install package-name` with a `node_modules` containing
755  packages without sufficient metadata to verify their origin.  The only way
756  to get install packages like this is to use a non-`npm` package manager.
757  Previously `npm` removed any packages that it couldn't verify.  Now it
758  will leave them untouched as long as you're not asking for a full install.
759  On a full install they will be reinstalled (but the same versions will be
760  maintained).
761
762  This will fix problems for folks who are using a third party package
763  manager to install packages that have `postinstall` scripts that run
764  `npm install`.

767  Only auto-prune on installs that will create a lock-file.  This restores
768  `npm@4` compatible behavior when the lock-file is disabled.  When using a
769  lock-file `npm` will continue to remove anything in your `node_modules`
770  that's not in your lock-file.  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))

930  [#18881](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/18881)
931  When dealing with a `node_modules` that was created with older versions of npm
932  (and thus older versions of npa) we need to gracefully handle older spec
933  entries. Failing to do so results in us treating those packages as if they
934  were http remote deps, which results in invalid lock files with `version` set
935  to tarball URLs. This should now be fixed.

1047  from these subdirectories, and it'll only affect the root? It works like git!

1129  Two factor authentication, profile editing and token management.

1131
1132### TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
1133
1134You can now enable two-factor authentication for your npm account.  You can
1135even do it from the CLI.  In fact, you have to, for the time being:
1136
1137```
1138npm profile enable-tfa
1139```
1140
1141With the default two-factor authentication mode you'll be prompted to enter
1142a one-time password when logging in, when publishing and when modifying access rights to
1143your modules.
1144
1145### TOKEN MANAGEMENT
1146
1147You can now create, list and delete authentication tokens from the comfort
1148of the command line.  Authentication tokens created this way can have NEW
1149restrictions placed on them.  For instance, you can create a `read-only`
1150token to give to your CI.  It will be able to download your private modules
1151but it won't be able to publish or modify modules.  You can also create
1152tokens that can only be used from certain network addresses.  This way you
1153can lock down access to your corporate VPN or other trusted machines.
1154
1155Deleting tokens isn't new, you could [do it via the
1156website](https://www.npmjs.com/settings/tokens) but now you can do it via
1157the CLI as well.
1158
1159### CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD, SET YOUR EMAIL
1160
1161You can finally change your password from the CLI with `npm profile set
1162password`!  You can also update your email address with `npm profile set
1163email <address>`. If you change your email address we'll send you a new
1164verification email so you verify that its yours.
1165
1166### AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON YOUR PROFILE
1167
1168You can also update all of the other attributes of your profile that
1169previously you could only update via the website: `fullname`, `homepage`,
1170`freenode`, `twitter` and `github`.
1171
1172### AVAILABLE STAND ALONE
1173
1174All of these features were implemented in a stand alone library, so if you
1175have use for them in your own project you can find them in
1176[npm-profile](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-profile) on the registry.
1177There's also a little mini-cli written just for it at
1178[npm-profile-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-profile-cli).  You might
1179also be interested in the [API
1180documentation](https://github.com/npm/registry/tree/master/docs) for these
1181new features: [user profile editing](https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/user/profile.md) and
1182[authentication](https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/user/authentication.md).

1274## v5.4.0 (2017-08-22):
1275
1276Here's another ~~small~~ big release, with a ~~handful~~ bunch of fixes and
1277a couple of ~~small~~ new features! This release has been incubating rather
1278longer than usual and it's grown quite a bit in that time. I'm also excited
1279to say that it has contributions from **27** different folks, which is a new
1280record for us. Our previous record was 5.1.0 at 21. Before that the record
1281had been held by 1.3.16 since _December of 2013_.

1284
1285If you can't get enough of the bleeding edge, I encourage you to check out
1286our canary release of npm. Get it with `npm install -g npmc`. It's going to
1287be seeing some exciting stuff in the next couple of weeks, starting with a
1288rewritten `npm dedupe`, but moving on to… well, you'll just have to wait and
1289find out.

1291### PERFORMANCE

1293* [`d080379f6`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d080379f620c716afa2c1d2e2ffc0a1ac3459194)
1294  `pacote@6.0.1` Updates extract to use tar@4, which is much faster than the
1295  older tar@2. It reduces install times by as much as 10%.

1299  [#16804](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16804)
1300  `tar@4.0.1` Update publish to use tar@4. tar@4 brings many advantages
1301  over tar@2: It's faster, better tested and easier to work with.  It also
1302  produces exactly the same byte-for-byte output when producing tarballs
1303  from the same set of files.  This will have some nice carry on effects for
1304  things like caching builds from git.  And finally, last but certainly not
1305  least, upgrading to it also let's us finally eliminate `fstream`—if
1306  you know what that is you'll know why we're so relieved.

1536  Revert change where npm stopped flattening modules that required peerDeps.
1537  This caused problems because folks were using peer deps to indicate that the
1538  target of the peer dep needed to be able to require the dependency and had
1539  been relying on the fact that peer deps didn't change the shape of the tree
1540  (as of npm@3).
1541  The fix that will actually work for people is for a peer dep to insist on
1542  never being installed deeper than the the thing it relies on.  At the moment
1543  this is tricky because the thing the peer dep relies on may not yet have
1544  been added to the tree, so we don't know where it is.

1591
1592It's only been a couple of days but we've got some bug fixes we wanted to
1593get out to you all.  We also believe that
1594[`npx`](https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b) is ready to be bundled
1595with npm, which we're really excited about!
1596
1597### npx!!!
1598
1599npx is a tool intended to help round out the experience of using packages
1600from the npm registry — the same way npm makes it super easy to install and
1601manage dependencies hosted on the registry, npx is meant to make it easy to
1602use CLI tools and other executables hosted on the registry.  It greatly
1603simplifies a number of things that, until now, required a bit of ceremony to
1604do with plain npm.

1671## v5.1.0 (2017-07-05):
1672
1673Hey y'all~
1674
1675We've got some goodies for you here, including `npm@5`'s first semver-minor
1676release! This version includes a huge number of fixes, particularly for some of
1677the critical bugs users were running into after upgrading npm. You should
1678overall see a much more stable experience, and we're going to continue hacking
1679on fixes for the time being. Semver-major releases, specially for tools like
1680npm, are bound to cause some instability, and getting `npm@5` stable is the CLI
1681team's top priority for now!
1682
1683Not that bugfixes are the only things that landed, either: between improvements
1684that fell out of the bugfixes, and some really cool work by community members
1685like [@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov), `npm@5.1.0` is **_twice as
1686fast_** as `npm@5.0.0` in some benchmarks. We're not stopping there, either: you
1687can expect a steady stream of speed improvements over the course of the year.
1688It's not _top_ priority, but we'll keep doing what we can to make sure npm saves
1689its users as much time as possible.

1693### FEATURES
1694
1695Semver-minor releases, of course, mean that there's a new feature somewhere,
1696right? Here's what's bumping that number for us this time:
1697
1698* [`a09c1a69d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a09c1a69df05b753464cc1272cdccc6af0f4da5a)
1699  [#16687](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16687)
1700  Allow customizing the shell used to execute `run-script`s.
1701  ([@mmkal](https://github.com/mmkal))
1702* [`4f45ba222`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/4f45ba222e2ac6dbe6d696cb7a8e678bbda7c839) [`a48958598`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/a489585985540deed4edc03418636c9e97aa9e40) [`901bef0e1`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/901bef0e1ea806fc08d8d58744a9f813b6c020ab)
1703  [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
1704  Add a new `requires` field to `package-lock.json` with information about the
1705  _logical_ dependency tree. This includes references to the specific version
1706  each package is intended to see, and can be used for many things, such as
1707  [converting `package-lock.json` to other lockfile
1708  formats](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/880578566907248640), various
1709  optimizations, and verifying correctness of a package tree.
1710  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
1711* [`47e8fc8eb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/47e8fc8eb9b5faccef9e03ab991cf37458c16249)
1712  [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
1713  Make `npm ls` take package locks (and shrinkwraps) into account. This means
1714  `npm ls` can now be used to see [which dependencies are
1715  missing](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/880446509547794437), so long as
1716  a package lock has been previously generated with it in.
1717  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
1718* [`f0075e7ca`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/f0075e7caa3e151424a254d7809ae4489ed8df90)
1719  [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
1720  Take `package.json` changes into account when running installs -- if you
1721  remove or add a dependency to `package.json` manually, npm will now pick that
1722  up and update your tree and package lock accordingly.
1723  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
1724* [`83a5455aa`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/83a5455aac3c5cc2511ab504923b652b13bd66a0)
1725  [#17205](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17205)
1726  Add `npm udpate` as an alias for `npm update`, for symmetry with
1727  `install`/`isntall`.
1728  ([@gdassori](https://github.com/gdassori))
1729* [`57225d394`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/57225d394b6174eb0be48393d8e18da0991f67b6)
1730  [#17120](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17120)
1731  npm will no longer warn about `preferGlobal`, and the option is now
1732  deprecated.
1733  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
1734* [`82df7bb16`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/82df7bb16fc29c47a024db4a8c393e55f883744b)
1735  [#17351](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17351)
1736  As some of you may already know `npm build` doesn't do what a lot of people
1737  expect: It's mainly an npm plumbing command, and is part of the more familiar
1738  `npm rebuild` command. That said, a lot of users assume that this is the way
1739  to run an npm `run-script` named `build`, which is an incredibly common script
1740  name to use. To clarify things for users, and encourage them to use `npm run
1741  build` instead, npm will now warn if `npm build` is run without any arguments.

1744### PERFORMANCE

1746* [`59f86ef90`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/59f86ef90a58d8dc925c9613f1c96e68bee5ec7b) [`43be9d222`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/43be9d2222b23ebb0a427ed91824ae217e6d077a) [`e906cdd98`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e906cdd980b4722e66618ce295c682b9a8ffaf8f)
1747  [#16633](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16633)
1748  npm now parallelizes tarball extraction across multiple child process workers.
1749  This can significantly speed up installations, specially when installing from
1750  cache, and will improve with number of processors.
1751  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
1752* [`e0849878d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/e0849878dd248de8988c2ef3fc941054625712ca)
1753  [#17441](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17441)
1754  Avoid building environment for empty lifecycle scripts. This change alone
1755  accounted for as much as a 15% speed boost for npm installations by outright
1756  skipping entire steps of the installer when not needed.
1757  ([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
1758* [`265c2544c`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/265c2544c8ded10854909243482e6437ed03c261)
1759  [npm/hosted-git-info#24](https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/pull/24)
1760  `hosted-git-info@2.5.0`: Add caching to `fromURL`, which gets called many,
1761  many times by the installer. This improved installation performance by around
1762  10% on realistic application repositories.
1763  ([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
1764* [`901d26cb`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/901d26cb656e7e773d9a38ef4eac9263b95e07c8)
1765  [npm/read-package-json#20](https://github.com/npm/read-package-json/pull/70)
1766  `read-package-json@2.0.9`: Speed up installs by as much as 20% by
1767  reintroducing a previously-removed cache and making it actually be correct
1768  this time around.
1769  ([@mikesherov](https://github.com/mikesherov))
1770* [`44e37045d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/44e37045d77bc40adf339b423d42bf5e9b4d4d91)
1771  Eliminate `Bluebird.promisifyAll` from our codebase.

1774  [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
1775  Stop calling `addBundle` on locked deps, speeding up the
1776  `package-lock.json`-based fast path.

1779### BUGFIXES
1780
1781* [#17508](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17508)
1782  This is a big PR that fixes a variety of issues when installing from package
1783  locks. If you were previously having issues with missing dependencies or
1784  unwanted removals, this might have fixed it:
1785  * It introduces a new `package-lock.json` field, called `requires`, which tracks which modules a given module requires.
1786  * It fixes [#16839](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/16839) which was caused by not having this information available, particularly when git dependencies were involved.
1787  * It fixes [#16866](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/16866), allowing the `package.json` to trump the `package-lock.json`.
1788  * `npm ls` now loads the shrinkwrap, which opens the door to showing a full tree of dependencies even when nothing is yet installed. (It doesn't do that yet though.)
1789  ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
1790* [`656544c31`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/656544c31cdef3cef64fc10c24f03a8ae2685e35) [`d21ab57c3`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/d21ab57c3ef4f01d41fb6c2103debe884a17dc22)
1791  [#16637](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16637)
1792  Fix some cases where `npm prune` was leaving some dependencies unpruned if
1793  to-be-pruned dependencies depended on them.
1794  ([@exogen](https://github.com/exogen))
1795* [`394436b09`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/394436b098dcca2d252061f95c4eeb92c4a7027c)
1796  [#17552](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17552)
1797  Make `refresh-package-json` re-verify the package platform. This fixes an
1798  issue most notably experienced by Windows users using `create-react-app` where
1799  `fsevents` would not short-circuit and cause a crash during its
1800  otherwise-skipped native build phase.
1801  ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
1802* [`9e5a94354`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/9e5a943547b29c8d022192afd9398b3a136a7e5a)
1803  [#17590](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17590)

1805  installed with `npm@<5`.

1807* [`c3b586aaf`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c3b586aafa9eabac572eb6e2b8a7266536dbc65b)
1808  [#17141](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17141)
1809  Don't update the package.json when modifying packages that don't go there.
1810  This was previously causing `package.json` to get a `"false": {}` field added.

1813  `pacote@2.7.38`:
1814  * [zkat/pacote#102](https://github.com/zkat/pacote/pull/102) Fix issue with tar extraction and special characters.
1815  * Enable loose semver parsing in some missing corner cases.

1852  [#17592](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/17592)
1853  Fix an issue where `npm install -g .` on a package with no `name` field would

1859  Fix spurious removal reporting: if you tried to remove something that didn't

1865  When removing a link, keep dependencies installed inside of it instead of
1866  removing them, if the link is outside the scope of the current project. This
1867  fixes an issue where removing globally-linked packages would remove all their
1868  dependencies in the source directory, as well as some ergonomic issues when
1869  using links in other situations.

2001## v5.0.3 (2017-06-05)
2002
2003Happy Monday, y'all! We've got another npm release for you with the fruits of
2004our ongoing bugsquashing efforts. You can expect at least one more this week,
2005but probably more -- and as we announced last week, we'll be merging fixes more
2006rapidly into the `npmc` canary so you can get everything as soon as possible!
2007
2008Hope y'all are enjoying npm5 in the meantime, and don't hesitate to file issues
2009for anything you find! The goal is to get this release rock-solid as soon as we
2010can. ��

2014  * `cacache`: content files (the tarballs) are now read-only.
2015  * `pacote`: fix failing clones with bad heads, send extra TLS-related opts to proxy, enable global auth configurations and `_auth`-based auth.
2016  * `ssri`: stop crashing with `can't call method find of undefined` when running into a weird `opts.integrity`/`opts.algorithms` conflict during verification.

2035## v5.0.2 (2017-06-02)
2036
2037Here's another patch release, soon after the other!
2038
2039This particular release includes a slew of fixes to npm's git support, which was
2040causing some issues for a chunk of people, specially those who were using
2041self-hosted/Enterprise repos. All of those should be back in working condition
2042now.
2043
2044There's another shiny thing you might wanna know about: npm has a Canary release
2045now! The `npm5` experiment we did during our beta proved to be incredibly
2046successful: users were able to have a tight feedback loop between reports and
2047getting the bugfixes they needed, and the CLI team was able to roll out
2048experimental patches and have the community try them out right away. So we want
2049to keep doing that.
2050
2051From now on, you'll be able to install the 'npm canary' with `npm i -g npmc`.
2052This release will be a separate binary (`npmc`. Because canary. Get it?), which
2053will update independently of the main CLI. Most of the time, this will track
2054`release-next` or something close to it. We might occasionally toss experimental
2055branches in there to see if our more adventurous users run into anything
2056interesting with it. For example, the current canary (`npmc@5.0.1-canary.6`)
2057includes an [experimental multiproc
2058branch](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16633) that parallelizes tarball
2059extraction across multiple processes.
2060
2061If you find any issues while running the canary version, please report them and
2062let us know it came from `npmc`! It would be tremendously helpful, and finding
2063things early is a huge reason to have it there. Happy hacking!
2064
2065### A NOTE ABOUT THE ISSUE TRACKER
2066
2067Just a heads up: We're preparing to do a massive cleanup of the issue tracker.
2068It's been a long time since it was something we could really keep up with, and
2069we didn't have a process for dealing with it that could actually be sustainable.
2070
2071We're still sussing the details out, and we'll talk about it more when we're
2072about to do it, but the plan is essentially to close old, abandoned issues and
2073start over. We will also [add some automation](https://github.com/probot) around
2074issue management so that things that we can't keep up with don't just stay
2075around forever.
2076
2077Stay tuned!

2087  non-hosted SCP-style identifiers are correctly handled. Previously, npa would

2090
2091### COOL NEW OUTPUT
2092
2093The new summary output has been really well received! One downside that reared
2094its head as more people used it, though, is that it doesn't really tell you
2095anything about the toplevel versions it installed. So, if you did `npm i -g
2096foo`, it would just say "added 1 package". This patch by
2097[@rmg](https://github.com/rmg) keeps things concise while still telling you
2098what you got! So now, you'll see something like this:
2099
2100```
2101$ npm i -g foo bar
2102+ foo@1.2.3
2103+ bar@3.2.1
2104added 234 packages in .005ms

2154## v5.0.1 (2017-05-31):
2155
2156Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying the new npm!
2157
2158As you all know, fresh software that's gone through major overhauls tends to
2159miss a lot of spots the old one used to handle well enough, and `npm@5` is no
2160exception. The CLI team will be doing faster release cycles that go directly to
2161the `latest` tag for a couple of weeks while 5 stabilizes a bit and we're
2162confident the common low-hanging fruit people are running into are all taken
2163care of.
2164
2165With that said: this is our first patch release! The biggest focus is fixing up
2166a number of git-related issues that folks ran into right out the door. It also
2167fixes other things, like some proxy/auth-related issues, and even has a neat
2168speed boost! (You can expect more speed bumps in the coming releases as pending
2169work starts landing, too!)

2238Wowowowowow npm@5!
2239
2240This release marks months of hard work for the young, scrappy, and hungry CLI
2241team, and includes some changes we've been hoping to do for literally years.
2242npm@5 takes npm a pretty big step forward, significantly improving its
2243performance in almost all common situations, fixing a bunch of old errors due to
2244the architecture, and just generally making it more robust and fault-tolerant.
2245It comes with changes to make life easier for people doing monorepos, for users
2246who want consistency/security guarantees, and brings semver support to git
2247dependencies. See below for all the deets!
2248
2249### Breaking Changes
2250
2251* Existing npm caches will no longer be used: you will have to redownload any cached packages. There is no tool or intention to reuse old caches. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2252
2253* `npm install ./packages/subdir` will now create a symlink instead of a regular installation. `file://path/to/tarball.tgz` will not change -- only directories are symlinked. ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
2254
2255* npm will now scold you if you capitalize its name. seriously it will fight you.
2256
2257* [npm will `--save` by default now](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/859229741676625920). Additionally, `package-lock.json` will be automatically created unless an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` exists. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2258
2259* Git dependencies support semver through `user/repo#semver:^1.2.3` ([#15308](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15308)) ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666)) ([@sankethkatta](https://github.com/sankethkatta))
2260
2261* Git dependencies with `prepare` scripts will have their `devDependencies` installed, and `npm install` run in their directory before being packed.
2262
2263* `npm cache` commands have been rewritten and don't really work anything like they did before. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2264
2265* `--cache-min` and `--cache-max` have been deprecated. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2266
2267* Running npm while offline will no longer insist on retrying network requests. npm will now immediately fall back to cache if possible, or fail. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2268
2269* package locks no longer exclude `optionalDependencies` that failed to build. This means package-lock.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json should now be cross-platform. ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
2270
2271* If you generated your package lock against registry A, and you switch to registry B, npm will now try to [install the packages from registry B, instead of A](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/862834964932435969). If you want to use different registries for different packages, use scope-specific registries (`npm config set @myscope:registry=https://myownregist.ry/packages/`). Different registries for different unscoped packages are not supported anymore.
2272
2273* Shrinkwrap and package-lock no longer warn and exit without saving the lockfile.
2274
2275* Local tarballs can now only be installed if they have a file extensions `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, or `.tgz`.
2276
2277* A new loglevel, `notice`, has been added and set as default.
2278
2279* One binary to rule them all: `./cli.js` has been removed in favor of `./bin/npm-cli.js`. In case you were doing something with `./cli.js` itself. ([#12096](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12096)) ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
2280
2281* Stub file removed ([#16204](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16204)) ([@watilde](https://github.com/watilde))
2282
2283* The "extremely legacy" `_token` couchToken has been removed. ([#12986](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12986))
2284
2285### Feature Summary
2286
2287#### Installer changes
2288
2289* A new, standardised lockfile feature meant for cross-package-manager compatibility (`package-lock.json`), and a new format and semantics for shrinkwrap. ([#16441](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16441))
2290
2291* `--save` is no longer necessary. All installs will be saved by default. You can prevent saving with `--no-save`. Installing optional and dev deps is unchanged: use `-D/--save-dev` and `-O/--save-optional` if you want them saved into those fields instead. Note that since npm@3, npm will automatically update npm-shrinkwrap.json when you save: this will also be true for `package-lock.json`. ([#15666](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15666))
2292
2293* Installing a package directory now ends up creating a symlink and does the Right Thing™ as far as saving to and installing from the package lock goes. If you have a monorepo, this might make things much easier to work with, and probably a lot faster too. �� ([#15900](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15900))
2294
2295* Project-level (toplevel) `preinstall` scripts now run before anything else, and can modify `node_modules` before the CLI reads it.
2296
2297* Two new scripts have been added, `prepack` and `postpack`, which will run on both `npm pack` and `npm publish`, but NOT on `npm install` (without arguments). Combined with the fact that `prepublishOnly` is run before the tarball is generated, this should round out the general story as far as putzing around with your code before publication.
2298
2299* Git dependencies with `prepare` scripts will now [have their devDependencies installed, and their prepare script executed](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/860363896443371520) as if under `npm pack`.
2300
2301* Git dependencies now support semver-based matching: `npm install git://github.com/npm/npm#semver:^5` (#15308, #15666)
2302
2303* `node-gyp` now supports `node-gyp.cmd` on Windows ([#14568](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/14568))
2304
2305* npm no longer blasts your screen with the whole installed tree. Instead, you'll see a summary report of the install that is much kinder on your shell real-estate. Specially for large projects. ([#15914](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/15914)):
2306```
2307$ npm install
2308npm added 125, removed 32, updated 148 and moved 5 packages in 5.032s.
2309$
2310```
2311
2312* `--parseable` and `--json` now work more consistently across various commands, particularly `install` and `ls`.
2313
2314* Indentation is now [detected and preserved](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/860690502932340737) for `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, and `npm-shrinkwrap.json`. If the package lock is missing, it will default to `package.json`'s current indentation.
2315
2316#### Publishing
2317
2318* New [publishes will now include *both* `sha512`](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/863201943082065920) and `sha1` checksums. Versions of npm from 5 onwards will use the strongest algorithm available to verify downloads. [npm/npm-registry-client#157](https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/pull/157)
2319
2320#### Cache Rewrite!
2321
2322We've been talking about rewriting the cache for a loooong time. So here it is.
2323Lots of exciting stuff ahead. The rewrite will also enable some exciting future
2324features, but we'll talk about those when they're actually in the works. #15666
2325is the main PR for all these changes. Additional PRs/commits are linked inline.
2326
2327* Package metadata, package download, and caching infrastructure replaced.
2328
2329* It's a bit faster. [Hopefully it will be noticeable](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/865393382260056064). ��
2330
2331* With the shrinkwrap and package-lock changes, tarballs will be looked up in the cache by content address (and verified with it).
2332
2333* Corrupted cache entries will [automatically be removed and re-fetched](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/854933138182557696) on integrity check failure.
2334
2335* npm CLI now supports tarball hashes with any hash function supported by Node.js. That is, it will [use `sha512` for tarballs from registries that send a `sha512` checksum as the tarball hash](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/858137093624573953). Publishing with `sha512` is added by [npm/npm-registry-client#157](https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/pull/157) and may be backfilled by the registry for older entries.
2336
2337* Remote tarball requests are now cached. This means that even if you're missing the `integrity` field in your shrinkwrap or package-lock, npm will be able to install from the cache.
2338
2339* Downloads for large packages are streamed in and out of disk. npm is now able to install packages of """any""" size without running out of memory. Support for publishing them is pending (due to registry limitations).
2340
2341* [Automatic fallback-to-offline mode](https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/854176565587984384). npm will seamlessly use your cache if you are offline, or if you lose access to a particular registry (for example, if you can no longer access a private npm repo, or if your git host is unavailable).
2342
2343* A new `--prefer-offline` option will make npm skip any conditional requests (304 checks) for stale cache data, and *only* hit the network if something is missing from the cache.
2344
2345* A new `--prefer-online` option that will force npm to revalidate cached data (with 304 checks), ignoring any staleness checks, and refreshing the cache with revalidated, fresh data.
2346
2347* A new `--offline` option will force npm to use the cache or exit. It will error with an `ENOTCACHED` code if anything it tries to install isn't already in the cache.
2348
2349* A new `npm cache verify` command that will garbage collect your cache, reducing disk usage for things you don't need (-handwave-), and will do full integrity verification on both the index and the content. This is also hooked into `npm doctor` as part of its larger suite of checking tools.
2350
2351* The new cache is *very* fault tolerant and supports concurrent access.
2352  * Multiple npm processes will not corrupt a shared cache.
2353  * Corrupted data will not be installed. Data is checked on both insertion and extraction, and treated as if it were missing if found to be corrupted. I will literally bake you a cookie if you manage to corrupt the cache in such a way that you end up with the wrong data in your installation (installer bugs notwithstanding).
2354  * `npm cache clear` is no longer useful for anything except clearing up disk space.
2355
2356* Package metadata is cached separately per registry and package type: you can't have package name conflicts between locally-installed packages, private repo packages, and public repo packages. Identical tarball data will still be shared/deduplicated as long as their hashes match.
2357
2358* HTTP cache-related headers and features are "fully" (lol) supported for both metadata and tarball requests -- if you have your own registry, you can define your own cache settings the CLI will obey!
2359
2360* `prepublishOnly` now runs *before* the tarball to publish is created, after `prepare` has run.
