Minor Changes

• The minimumReleaseAgeExclude setting now supports patterns. For instance:

  minimumReleaseAge: 1440
  minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
    - "@​eslint/*"

  Related PR: #​9984.

Patch Changes

• Don't ignore the minimumReleaseAge check, when the package is requested by exact version and the packument is loaded from cache #​9978.
• When minimumReleaseAge is set and the active version under a dist-tag is not mature enough, do not downgrade to a prerelease version in case the original version wasn't a prerelease one #​9979.

Patch Changes

• The full metadata cache should be stored not at the same location as the abbreviated metadata. This fixes a bug where pnpm was loading the abbreviated metadata from cache and couldn't find the "time" field as a result #​9963.
• Forcibly disable ANSI color codes when generating patch diff #​9914.

v10.16.0: pnpm 10.16

Minor Changes

• There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies. In most cases, such attacks are discovered quickly and the malicious versions are removed from the registry within an hour.

  The new setting is called minimumReleaseAge. It specifies the number of minutes that must pass after a version is published before pnpm will install it. For example, setting minimumReleaseAge: 1440 ensures that only packages released at least one day ago can be installed.

  If you set minimumReleaseAge but need to disable this restriction for certain dependencies, you can list them under the minimumReleaseAgeExclude setting. For instance, with the following configuration pnpm will always install the latest version of webpack, regardless of its release time:

  minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
    - webpack

  Related issue: #​9921.

• Added support for finders #​9946.

  In the past, pnpm list and pnpm why could only search for dependencies by name (and optionally version). For example:

  pnpm why minimist
  

  prints the chain of dependencies to any installed instance of minimist:

  verdaccio 5.20.1
  ├─┬ handlebars 4.7.7
  │ └── minimist 1.2.8
  └─┬ mv 2.1.1
    └─┬ mkdirp 0.5.6
      └── minimist 1.2.8
  

  What if we want to search by other properties of a dependency, not just its name? For instance, find all packages that have react@17 in their peer dependencies?

  This is now possible with "finder functions". Finder functions can be declared in .pnpmfile.cjs and invoked with the --find-by=<function name> flag when running pnpm list or pnpm why.

  Let's say we want to find any dependencies that have React 17 in peer dependencies. We can add this finder to our .pnpmfile.cjs:

  module.exports = {
    finders: {
      react17: (ctx) => {
        return ctx.readManifest().peerDependencies?.react === "^17.0.0";
      },
    },
  };

  Now we can use this finder function by running:

  pnpm why --find-by=react17
  

  pnpm will find all dependencies that have this React in peer dependencies and print their exact locations in the dependency graph.

  @​apollo/client 4.0.4
  ├── @​graphql-typed-document-node/core 3.2.0
  └── graphql-tag 2.12.6
  

  It is also possible to print out some additional information in the output by returning a string from the finder. For example, with the following finder:

  module.exports = {
    finders: {
      react17: (ctx) => {
        const manifest = ctx.readManifest();
        if (manifest.peerDependencies?.react === "^17.0.0") {
          return `license: ${manifest.license}`;
        }
        return false;
      },
    },
  };

  Every matched package will also print out the license from its package.json:

  @​apollo/client 4.0.4
  ├── @​graphql-typed-document-node/core 3.2.0
  │   license: MIT
  └── graphql-tag 2.12.6
      license: MIT
