Enhancements

- Use
xz
tarballs if available (#823)- This saves ~25% bandwidth while downloading node installers for
io.js
v2.3.2
and later, andnode
v4.0
and later.
- This saves ~25% bandwidth while downloading node installers for
Documentation

v0.28.0
v0.27.1
v0.27.0
Better node 4+ support!
- Separate code paths for "merged" node
- Clearer error messages
- Sort
nvm ls-remote
output so the order is: "pre-merged", "iojs", "post-merged".
Installing from source?
io.js
and node
v4.0
+ still do not yet support installing from source. This isn't because it's hard to implement, it's because the tests for it time out on travis-ci
. I don't want to add critical functionality without tests. I'm still trying to get this implemented and tested.
Release candidates?
io.js
and node
v4.0
+ release candidate support is coming. It will not be enabled by default: you'll have to export an explicit environment variable to turn it on. However, this will allow node
core developers, and module developers, to test upcoming releases easily on travis-ci
and locally. Keep an eye out for it!
Having an npm
prefix now errors out properly!
Essentially, the "prefix" option in npm
breaks nvm
, because global modules won't be stored within $NVM_DIR
. nvm
will now refuse to function if you have this set, eliminating much confusion!
- Ensure that if
npm config get prefix
is set to something outsidenvm
, thatnvm use
refuses to work (#606)
Other Enhancements
- Allow
--silent
option tonvm use
to be in any position - Print the
npm
version when usingnvm exec
ornvm run
. - Add support for
--silent
tonvm run
andnvm exec
(#842)
Fixes
- Use
NVM_VERSION
instead ofVERSION
when sourcing to be a bit less intrusive (#820) - When no
io.js
versions are installed, showN/A
, notio.js-
, as the resolved default alias (#822) - Fix install script to not lie and claim to be auto-sourcing
nvm.sh
(#826, #827) - Use a tighter
grep
to avoiddnvm.sh
conflicts (#838)
Documentation
- Add
nvm help
documentation fornvm exec
v0.26.1
Road to Post-Merger Node Support
- Ensure after node v4.0 is released,
stable
will simply refer to the latest node. - Still TODO: use
io.js
installation code path fornode
versions >v1.0
Fixes
v0.26.0
Breaking Changes
- Remove
$NVM_IOJS_ORG_VERSION_LISTING
env var.- you probably weren't using this for anything anyways. Now the version listing is just
$NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR/index.tab
- you probably weren't using this for anything anyways. Now the version listing is just
nvm reinstall-packages
should install the same version it had before.- Previously,
reinstall-packages
would just reinstall the same packages, but at the latest version. Now, it attempts to preserve the version number you had it at before.
- Previously,
