Release Notes

pnpm/pnpm

v8.6.1

Compare Source

Patch Changes

• When dedupe-peer-dependents is enabled (default), use the path (not id) to determine compatibility.

  When multiple dependency groups can be deduplicated, the latter ones are sorted according to number of peers to allow them to
  benefit from deduplication.

  Resolves: #​6605

• Some minor performance improvements by removing await from loops #​6617.

v8.6.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• Some settings influence the structure of the lockfile, so we cannot reuse the lockfile if those settings change. As a result, we need to store such settings in the lockfile. This way we will know with which settings the lockfile has been created.

  A new field will now be present in the lockfile: settings. It will store the values of two settings: autoInstallPeers and excludeLinksFromLockfile. If someone tries to perform a frozen-lockfile installation and their active settings don't match the ones in the lockfile, then an error message will be thrown.

  The lockfile format version is bumped from v6.0 to v6.1.

  Related issue: #​6312

• A new setting, exclude-links-from-lockfile, is now supported. When enabled, specifiers of local linked dependencies won't be duplicated in the lockfile.

  This setting was primarily added for use by Bit CLI, which links core aspects to node_modules from external directories. As such, the locations may vary across different machines, resulting in the generation of lockfiles with differing locations.

Patch Changes

• Don't print "Lockfile is up-to-date" message before finishing all the lockfile checks #​6544.
• When updating dependencies, preserve the range prefix in aliased dependencies. So npm:foo@1.0.0 becomes npm:foo@1.1.0.
• Print a meaningful error when a project referenced by the workspace: protocol is not found in the workspace #​4477.
• pnpm rebuild should not fail when node-linker is set to hoisted and there are skipped optional dependencies #​6553.
• Peers resolution should not fail when a linked in dependency resolves a peer dependency.
• Build projects in a workspace in correct order #​6568.

Minor Changes

• A custom compression level may be specified for the pnpm pack command using the pack-gzip-level setting #​6393.
• Add --check flag to pnpm dedupe. No changes will be made to node_modules or the lockfile. Exits with a non-zero status code if changes are possible.
• pnpm install --resolution-only re-runs resolution to print out any peer dependency issues #​6411.

Patch Changes

• Warn user when publishConfig.directory of an injected workspace dependency does not exist #​6396.
• Use hard links to link the node executable on Windows machines #​4315.

v8.2.0

Minor Changes

• Allow env variables to be specified with default values in .npmrc. This is a convention used by Yarn too.
  Using ${NAME-fallback} will return fallback if NAME isn't set. ${NAME:-fallback} will return fallback if NAME isn't set, or is an empty string #​6018.

Patch Changes

• Add -g to mismatch registries error info when original command has -g option #​6224.
• Don't fail with EBUSY error when trying to copy a file from the store #​6201
• pnpm config get <key> should print boolean values #​6360
• Don't print an info message about linked dependencies if they are real linked dependencies specified via the link: protocol in package.json #​6372

v8.1.1

Patch Changes

• Repeat installation should work on a project that has a dependency with parentheses in the scope name #​6348.
• Error summary should be reported as expected.
• Update @yarnpkg/shell to fix issues in the shell emulator #​6320.
• Installation should not fail when there is a local dependency in a directory that starts with the @ character #​6332.
• Registries are now passed to the preResolution hook.

v8.1.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• A new setting has been added called dedupe-direct-deps, which is disabled by default. When set to true, dependencies that are already symlinked to the root node_modules directory of the workspace will not be symlinked to subproject node_modules directories. This feature was enabled by default in v8.0.0 but caused issues, so it's best to disable it by default #​6299.
• Add ignore-workspace-cycles to silence workspace cycle warning #​6308.

Patch Changes

• Print the right lowest supported Node.js version in the error message, when pnpm is executed with an old Node.js version #​6297.
• Improve the outdated lockfile error message #​6304.

We are excited to announce the latest release of pnpm! To install it, check the installation page.

Major Changes

Node.js 14 Support Discontinued

If you still require Node.js 14, don't worry. We ship pnpm bundled with Node.js. This means that regardless of which Node.js version you've installed, pnpm will operate using the necessary Node.js runtime. For this to work you need to install pnpm either using the standalone script or install the @pnpm/exe package.

Configuration Updates

• auto-install-peers: enabled by default.
• dedupe-peer-dependents: enabled by default.
• resolve-peers-from-workspace-root: enabled by default.
• save-workspace-protocol: set to rolling by default.
• resolution-mode: set to lowest-direct by default.
• publishConfig.linkDirectory: enabled by default.

Most of the configuration changes are related to peer dependencies. Most of these settings were implemented long ago, and we recommended them to users encountering peer dependency issues. The recently added dedupe-peer-dependents resolved many such problems. With these new defaults, pnpm will face significantly fewer issues during migration from other package managers.

Lockfile Modifications

• Lockfile v6 is adopted. This new format improves the readability of the lockfile by removing hashes from package IDs. It also has some rearrangement of fields in the importers section. The new pnpm-lock.yaml file is more resistant to git merge conflicts!
• The registry field is removed from the resolution object in pnpm-lock.yaml.
• A lockfile is generated even for projects with no dependencies.

Other Changes

• When there's a files field in the package.json, only the files that are listed in it will be deployed. The same logic is applied when injecting packages. This behaviour can be changed by setting the deploy-all-files setting to true (Related issue #​5911).
• Direct dependencies are deduped. If a dependency is present in both a project and the workspace root, it will only be linked to the workspace root.

Migration Instructions

Before updating pnpm to v8 in your CI, regenerate your pnpm-lock.yaml. To upgrade your lockfile, run pnpm install and commit the changes. Existing dependencies will not be updated; however, due to configuration changes in pnpm v8, some missing peer dependencies may be added to the lockfile and some packages may get deduplicated.

You can commit the new lockfile even before upgrading Node.js in the CI, as pnpm v7 already supports the new lockfile format.

pnpm v7 Support

pnpm v7 will likely not receive any new features, but it will continue to get bug fixes for a few months and vulnerability fixes for at least a year.
