🚀 Mip 2.0 - Officially Released!

checksums.txt

After months of development, we are proud to announce the official release of Mip 2.0! This is a complete rewrite from the ground up, focusing on speed, simplicity, and extensibility. Forget npm, forget yarn—Mip is here to redefine package management.

---

⚡ What's New in 2.0?

🧠 Core Architecture Rebuild

• Complete rewrite from a simple script to a robust, modular package manager.
• Global cache (~/.mip/store/): All packages are stored once and symlinked into projects. This eliminates the massive duplication of node_modules.
• Zero node_modules/: Say goodbye to the infamous black hole of disk space. Mip uses symlinks to the global cache.

⚡ Performance Unleashed

• Up to 10x faster than npm on re-installs and 2x faster than pnpm.
• Parallel downloads: Mip fetches packages concurrently, making cold installs blisteringly fast.
• Streaming extraction: No temporary files, just pure speed.

🔌 Plugins System

• Mip now has a first-class plugin system. Extend the CLI with custom commands, hooks, and integrations.
• Official plugins are available for Webpack, Vite, and Tailwind CSS—with more to come.

📝 YAML Configs

• mip.json is now mip.yml. YAML is easier to read, supports comments, and is a joy to edit.
• Automatic migration from old mip.json files.

🌍 Custom Languages

• i18n support is now extensible. Create your own language packs!
• Community languages are available as plugins. (We're looking at you, Pirate and Lolcat 🌊🐱).

🔒 Security & Diagnostics

• mip audit now provides detailed vulnerability reports with auto-fix capabilities.
• mip doctor performs a full system check to ensure your environment is optimal.
