v12.11.2: pnpm 12.11.2

Compare Source

This release fixes --workspace-concurrency=Infinity, filters set by an updateConfig hook, and store fetches with enable-modules-dir=false.

Patch Changes
  • --workspace-concurrency=Infinity now runs workspace projects with no concurrency limit. It used to fail with invalid digit found in string #​16793.

  • pnpm install and other recursive commands now apply the filter and filterProd that an updateConfig hook sets. They used to run on every workspace project #​16792.

  • enable-modules-dir=false now also fetches the packages an install reuses from an existing lockfile, so the store holds every package the lockfile lists.

v12.11.1: pnpm 12.11.1

Compare Source

This release fixes two ways pnpm install could fail, runs tools of any Rust release through pnx, and treats registry.npmjs.com as an alias of the npm registry.

Patch Changes
  • pnpm install no longer fails when packageManager pins the pnpm version that is already running and the registry does not publish that version. pnpm warns and continues. A registry mirror that has not synced a release no longer blocks the commands of a project pinned to it.

  • pnpm install no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_CHMOD when node_modules/.bin holds a shim that another user created, if everyone can already execute it and it is not world-writable. This happens when several users share one checkout.

  • enable-modules-dir=false (enableModulesDir: false through the Node.js addon) fetches the registry packages the host can install into the store again, as pnpm v10 did, while still writing nothing under node_modules. The setting exists for a node_modules that something else mounts from the store, such as a FUSE daemon, and that consumer no longer has to download each package on first access. A plain --lockfile-only run still fetches nothing.

  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish no longer put .npmignore and .gitignore files in the tarball. A files entry that names one still ships it.

  • pnpm now treats https://registry.npmjs.com/ as an alias of https://registry.npmjs.org/. Registry requests, credentials, and trusted publishing use the canonical hostname.

  • pnx --package=rust@<channel> <tool> runs a tool of that Rust release, for example pnx --package=rust@nightly-2026-01-01 cargo build. pnpm installs the release with the components and targets from rust-toolchain.toml and the target of each --target argument.

  • pnpm install now links agent skills for more coding agents. It detects the agent from ANTIGRAVITY_AGENT, COPILOT_AGENT, COPILOT_CLI, CODEX_THREAD_ID, CODEX_SANDBOX, AI_AGENT, and CLAUDE_CODE pnpm/tasks#116.

  • When the registry rejects pnpm stage publish, the error message now starts with "Failed to stage package".

v12.11.0: pnpm 12.11.0

Compare Source

This release adds Rust toolchain management, links the agent skills that dependencies ship, adds the permissions setting, and keeps the colors of streamed script output.

Minor Changes
  • pnpm install now links the agent skills that direct dependencies ship under skills/<name>/SKILL.md into the project's agent skill directories, such as .claude/skills. A package's skills are linked only after you approve them with pnpm approve. The skills.dirs setting chooses the directories pnpm/rfcs#35.

    Added the permissions setting, which records what each dependency may do. Its build capability works like allowBuilds and takes precedence over it. pnpm approve-builds writes to permissions when pnpm-workspace.yaml already has it, and to allowBuilds otherwise.

    Added pnpm permissions, which lists the granted and denied permissions and the packages awaiting approval. pnpm approve reviews build scripts and agent skills in one prompt pnpm/rfcs#36.

  • pnpm now installs and runs Rust toolchains.

    • With cargo.enabled, pnpm install installs the toolchain named in rust-toolchain.toml. pnpm verifies the release signature, stores the toolchain once per machine, and links it into .pnpm/rust. pnpm run and pnpm exec put its cargo and rustc on the PATH.
    • pnpm add -g rust@<channel> installs a toolchain globally. The cargo and rustc commands run it outside projects that pin their own. pnpm update -g, pnpm ls -g, and pnpm remove -g manage it like any global package.
    • In a project, pnpm add rust@<channel> pins the toolchain in rust-toolchain.toml.
    • pnpm shim add rust adds project-aware shims for cargo, rustc, and the other Rust tools. In a project with a rust-toolchain.toml, they run the toolchain the file names and install it on first use. Elsewhere, the next command of the same name on PATH runs, such as rustup's.
  • pnpm run and pnpm exec now keep the colors of script output that they print under the project's name, such as with --stream. pnpm sets FORCE_COLOR=1 for these scripts when its own output is in color, unless FORCE_COLOR is already set.

    Script output is also rendered more cleanly:

    • A line that a progress bar redraws with \r shows only its last state.
    • Escape codes that move the cursor or clear the screen are dropped.
    • Long colored lines are cut at the terminal width.
    • pnpm -r run no longer garbles its live output when a script fails while other scripts are still running.
Patch Changes
Installing packages
  • pnpm no longer panics with "unexpected error when polling the I/O driver" when it runs under QEMU user-mode emulation, such as a linux/amd64 container on an Apple Silicon Mac #​16696.

  • pnpm view, pnpm update, and other commands that read registry metadata now work behind proxies that end a response by closing the connection without a TLS close_notify alert #​16704.

  • pnpm now switches to the version a project pins in packageManager or devEngines.packageManager even when pnpm-workspace.yaml has a setting the running pnpm cannot read, such as a lockfile.includeResolutionSettings section. If pnpm does not switch, it still reports that setting #​16675.

  • When the pnpm package has to download its native binary on first run, it now uses the registry and credentials from .npmrc and from the npm_config_registry and pnpm_config_registry environment variables. COREPACK_NPM_REGISTRY still takes precedence. A project .npmrc is not read when COREPACK_INTEGRITY_KEYS turns off the signature check #​16655.

  • pnpm install and pnpm add --config now apply minimumReleaseAge when they resolve a config dependency. A config dependency range resolves to the newest version that is old enough, so a later clean pnpm install --frozen-lockfile accepts the lockfile #​16660.

  • pnpm remove with catalogPrune no longer removes catalog entries that pnpm-lock.yaml still records for workspace projects missing from disk. Before, a following frozen install failed with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH #​16679.

  • With cargo.enabled, pnpm install now writes the source replacement for vendored crates into .pnpm/crates/config.toml and includes it as optional from .cargo/config.toml. A checkout without .pnpm builds with plain Cargo #​16659.

  • With nodeLinker.type set to loaded, Node.js now stops with ERR_PNPM_LOADER_UNSUPPORTED_NODE when it preloads the store loader on a version the loader cannot serve. The supported versions are ^24.18.0 || >=26.2.0. On other versions, CommonJS packages imported from ESM failed with Cannot find module on their first relative require().

  • On Windows, pnpm install no longer fails with "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" when a package contains a file whose name is invalid on Windows, such as icon.svg?as=metadata.d.ts. pnpm removes the invalid characters from the name and prints a warning that lists the renamed files.

  • On Windows, hoisting no longer fails intermittently with link errors when a junction is created or replaced concurrently pnpm/tasks#53.

Resolving dependencies
  • pnpm install --no-optional now installs the peer dependencies a project declares when autoInstallPeers is on. The lockfile marked such a peer optional: true when another dependency had it as an optional peer.

  • pnpm install and pnpm dedupe now link an optional peer to the workspace package that the workspace root depends on when the picked version matches it. They installed the registry package with the same name and version #​16706.

  • Removal overrides such as "debug>supports-color": "-" now also apply to an optional peer that a package declares only in peerDependenciesMeta #​16681.

  • pnpm add and other installs that re-resolve dependencies now keep the locked devEngines.runtime version while it still satisfies the declared range #​16764.

  • pnpm audit --fix update now updates only the dependencies whose locked version is vulnerable #​14928.

  • pnpm outdated and pnpm update --interactive now apply overrides before they look up the latest version. Before, a dependency overridden to an npm alias was compared with the latest version of the package the override replaces #​16719.

Patched dependencies
  • Patches saved with CRLF line endings now apply, including a patch that creates or deletes a file. pnpm rejected the git headers of such a patch with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PATCH and the message invalid file mode: 100644 #​16641.

  • A patch that changes a file's mode, such as adding or removing the executable bit, now applies the new mode on Unix pnpm/tasks#110.

Injected dependencies and deploy
  • With sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false, an injected workspace package installed in the same run as its dependent now holds only the files its files field selects. The copy also held other files of the project, such as tsconfig.json #​16683.

  • A script listed in syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts no longer fails when it rewrites package.json while pnpm is copying its edits into the injected copies. The sync after the script now replaces a half-copied manifest.

  • pnpm deploy with a shared lockfile no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH for settings.dedupeInjectedDeps or settings.dedupePeerDependents when lockfile.includeResolutionSettings is enabled. The deployed lockfile now records both settings as false, the values the deploy installs with.

  • pnpm deploy now writes the dependencies in the deployed package.json sorted by name. It also sorts the allowBuilds entries in the deployed pnpm-workspace.yaml. Repeated deploys of the same lockfile now produce identical files #​16687.

Packing and publishing
  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish now match .npmignore and .gitignore rules the way npm does. A negation such as !lib/** or !lib/**/!(*.map) re-includes files under a directory that an earlier * rule excluded #​16743.

  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish no longer always include root files that merely start with README, LICENSE, or LICENCE, such as README_INTERNAL.md. Only README, LICENSE, LICENCE, and COPYING, with or without an extension, ship regardless of files and .npmignore, as in npm #​16753.

  • pnpm publish --provenance=false and --no-provenance now turn off provenance under trusted publishing, so a package can be published from a self-hosted runner. Setting provenance: false in pnpm-workspace.yaml does the same #​16721.

Speed and resource use
  • pnpm install hardlinks files from a group-writable or world-writable store again. pnpm copied every file from such a store into node_modules #​16677.

  • A repeat pnpm install no longer imports patched packages and packages with build scripts again when nothing changed. Their builds no longer run again either. This happened when recursiveInstall was false or the project had a file: dependency #​16705.

  • Verifying the lockfile against trustPolicy and minimumReleaseAge uses less memory. pnpm no longer keeps every published version's manifest of each checked package in memory until the install ends #​16656.

  • pnpm rebuild <pkg> and pnpm rebuild --pending no longer read the manifest of every installed package to find build scripts. Only the selected packages are inspected and built. On a large node_modules served lazily, such as over a network or FUSE mount, this turned a rebuild of a few packages into a fetch of every package.

  • pnpm rebuild no longer removes and recreates node_modules when the settings recorded in node_modules/.modules.yaml differ from the current configuration. The rebuild runs the build scripts against the installed packages as they are.

  • pnpm store prune now compacts the store's index.db after removing package entries, so the file shrinks again #​16717.

Registry commands
  • pnpm whoami, pnpm bugs, pnpm docs, pnpm repo, pnpm star, pnpm unstar, and pnpm stars now honor the --registry option.

  • --registry now takes precedence over a scope's configured registry for scoped packages in pnpm access, pnpm view, pnpm repo, pnpm star, pnpm unstar, pnpm owner, pnpm deprecate, pnpm undeprecate, pnpm unpublish, pnpm dist-tag, pnpm team, and pnpm stage. Without --registry, pnpm access now sends a scoped package or scope to the registry configured for that scope.

  • Registry commands now keep the path of a registry URL such as https://example.com/npm/ when they build request URLs. This applies to pnpm access, pnpm owner, pnpm ping, pnpm search, pnpm star, pnpm stars, pnpm team, pnpm unstar, and pnpm whoami.

  • pnpm view now honors the network retry settings.

  • pnpm repo now fetches the repository URLs of several packages in parallel.

v12.10.1: pnpm 12.10.1

Compare Source

This release fixes pnpm install failures after an overrides change and on a filtered frozen install with catalogPrune. It also fixes several bugs in the experimental nodeLinker.type: loaded, which now keeps its generated files in node_modules.

Patch Changes
  • With nodeLinker.type: loaded, pnpm now writes its generated files to node_modules, which projects already ignore in git. The store manifest and loader are node_modules/.pnpm/.store-manifest.json and node_modules/.pnpm/.store-loader.mjs. Bin shims are in node_modules/.bin.

    Earlier versions wrote .pnpm-store.json and .pnpm-store-loader.mjs to the project root, and a .pnpm directory to the root and to each workspace package. Delete them after reinstalling.

  • With nodeLinker.type: loaded, packages that ship their own node_modules directory, such as npm with its bundled dependencies, now load from the store. Before, one such package in the install stopped every Node.js process from starting.

  • With nodeLinker.type: loaded, scripts can now run a Node.js runtime installed through devEngines.runtime. Before, every script that called node re-ran its own shim until it failed with "Argument list too long".

  • With nodeLinker.type: loaded, Node.js processes start faster. In a project with 13,000 stored files, the startup overhead per process dropped from 67 ms to 18 ms.

  • pnpm install no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION after a change to overrides when the lockfile resolves an optional peer dependency to an npm alias of another package #​16654.

  • A frozen install with catalogPrune no longer removes catalog entries that pnpm-lock.yaml still records. Before, pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --filter failed with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH when some workspace projects were missing from disk #​16638.

  • pnpm install --fix-lockfile no longer removes the deprecated and hasBin fields from lockfile entries #​6600.

  • With enableGlobalVirtualStore, an install that updates node_modules now repairs a package in the global virtual store that an interrupted install left without some of its dependency links or package files. Before, such an install kept the incomplete package if the project's node_modules already recorded it #​16642.

  • pnpm install now skips the Cargo and Python projects inside a nested directory that has its own pnpm-workspace.yaml or .git directory, such as a git worktree of the same workspace or a separate clone.

  • The Request took warning for package metadata now starts timing when pnpm sends the request. Before, it also counted the time the request waited for a free request slot, so large installs printed it for requests the registry answered quickly.

v12.10.0: pnpm 12.10.0

Compare Source

This release adds an experimental loaded node linker, lets pnpm-lock.yaml record resolution settings, and reads cached registry metadata faster. It also carries several security fixes, including one that stops a dependency version from writing files outside the global virtual store.

Minor Changes
  • Added experimental nodeLinker: { type: loaded } installation. Compatible dependencies load directly from the content-addressable store through an automatically registered Node.js loader. nodeLinker.excluded selects packages and their dependency trees to install in the global virtual store.

  • lockfile.includeResolutionSettings: true makes pnpm-lock.yaml record autoDedupe, dedupeInjectedDeps, dedupePeerDependents and linkWorkspacePackages. Installs then treat a lockfile that records other values as outdated. A lockfile that records autoDedupe is reused by later installs on any machine, so pnpm run after pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer starts another install #​16583.

Patch Changes
Security
  • pnpm install now prevents dependency versions with path traversal from writing files outside the global virtual store.

  • pnpm now verifies locked config dependencies against their registry before installing them. Config dependencies must come from an npm registry. The lockfile can no longer replace the integrity of a config dependency pinned with version+integrity.

  • Lockfile verification now checks the tarballs inside a variations resolution against the registry. A name@version lockfile entry with an empty variations resolution is now rejected.

  • pnpm audit signatures now verifies signatures against the integrity recorded in the lockfile. Packages without a recorded integrity cannot pass signature verification.

  • pnpm install and pnpm publish now reject archive metadata larger than 64 MiB before reading it into memory. Publishing a pre-built tarball also rejects manifests and README files larger than 64 MiB.

  • Two URL or local path dependencies no longer share a virtual store directory when one URL has +, #, :, or ? where the other has /. Such dependencies, including git dependencies pinned with #, now get a hash suffix on their directory name.

  • The warning about an ignored project .npmrc registry setting no longer prints the username and password of a URL-scoped key such as //user:password@registry.example.com/${PATH}/:_authToken.

Installing and resolving dependencies
  • pnpm install now fails with ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL when a dependency uses a specifier with a protocol pnpm does not support, such as Yarn's patch:. On Windows, such a specifier failed with os error 123. On other platforms, pnpm linked it to a directory that does not exist. Reading a package.json that fails now names the file #​16590.

  • pnpm install now fails with ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANIFEST_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE when a project declares a dependency whose specifier is not a string, such as "is-positive": 42. Before, the dependency was silently left out of the lockfile. A readPackage hook can still correct the specifier.

  • Fixed pnpm install failing with ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_RESOLVE_PATH when an executable's parent directory contains a dangling symlink.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_RESOLUTION_SHAPE_MISMATCH when a name@version lockfile entry has a resolution served by a custom fetcher pnpm/tasks#108.

  • pnpm install --fix-lockfile repairs a lockfile whose importer references a package that has no snapshot entry, as left by a badly merged lockfile. It failed with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY since 12.8.0 #​16618.

  • When a dependency moves an exact dependency of its own to an older version, a peer dependency that pnpm installed automatically now moves with it. Before, pnpm install and pnpm dedupe kept the newer locked version of the peer, so the lockfile held two copies of it, for example two copies of vue pnpm/tasks#61.

  • pnpm dedupe now reads registry metadata for a dependency pinned to an exact version, as pnpm install does. If the registry metadata disagreed with the package's package.json, the lockfile it wrote depended on whether minimumReleaseAge was set #​16615.

Speed and size
  • Dependency resolution reads cached registry metadata faster. The metadata cache moved to <cache-dir>/v12/, so the first install after upgrading downloads registry metadata again. A damaged cache entry is downloaded again, or reported as an error when --offline is set. pnpm cache prune also removes the metadata cache that older pnpm versions wrote under <cache-dir>/v11/ #​13512.

  • Package metadata requests no longer wait behind queued tarball downloads when maxSockets or a proxy limits the connections to a registry. Large installs resolve faster and print fewer Request took warnings.

  • Sped up installs in large workspaces on macOS when the dependency links already exist. pnpm now keeps a link that already points at the right package without trying to create it first. Relinking the direct dependencies of 1,000 workspace projects took 45 ms, down from 116 ms pnpm/tasks#65.

  • Commands in a project that pins a different pnpm version start about 13 ms faster on macOS. pnpm now runs the pinned version's binary directly, without the shell script in front of it pnpm/tasks#66.

  • The pnpm binary is about 0.9 MB smaller, and the arm64 Linux binary is about 1 MB smaller still.

Running scripts and commands
  • pnpm run no longer prints [ELIFECYCLE] Command failed ... after Ctrl+C ends the script. pnpm still exits the way the script's shell did: on Windows with the shell's exit code (cmd reports -1073741510, PowerShell 1), on Unix by re-raising SIGINT #​16579.

  • pnpm run "/<regex>/" now accepts JavaScript regular expression syntax such as lookahead and lookbehind. A selector like "/^hello:(?!b).*$/" failed with ERR_PNPM_NO_SCRIPT #​16604.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec now forward --config.* command-line flags to the install started by verifyDepsBeforeRun pnpm/tasks#60.

  • On Windows, a process started by pnpm run or pnpm exec can again start a child with CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB. That child keeps running after pnpm exits, even if the command fails #​16628.

  • Empty nodeOptions values from command-line flags and environment variables now override lower-priority settings. Scripts retain NODE_OPTIONS from the parent environment or extraEnv when nodeOptions is empty.

  • pnpm now reads the failIfNoMatch setting from pnpm-workspace.yaml, so a filter that matches no workspace project exits with code 1 when the setting is true. The new --no-fail-if-no-match flag turns the setting off for one command #​16577.

Configuration, setup, and pnpm versions
  • pnpm config get --global and pnpm config list --global now show only the global configuration, also when run inside a project. Settings from the project's pnpm-workspace.yaml and .npmrc were included before. The same applies to --location=global #​16598.

  • pnpm now prints config warnings, such as an unset environment variable in .npmrc, when loading the config fails.

  • pnpm 11 releases older than 11.28.4 can run pnpm 12 again when the packageManager field pins it. Since 12.9.0 they failed with SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token #​16594.

  • On Windows, pnpm self-update no longer runs the update a second time when it replaces a pnpm.cmd linked by pnpm 12.8 or older. cmd.exe read on in the replaced pnpm.cmd, printed an error about a command that is not recognized, and ran the new pnpm once more #​16573.

  • pnpm setup now puts $PNPM_HOME/bin first on PATH in login shells that inherited it further down, such as the VS Code terminal on macOS. Before, another node took precedence over the one installed by pnpm runtime set node -g. Run pnpm setup again to update the block in your shell config #​16635.

  • pnpm setup now names the shell config file even if it is already up to date #​16608.

Updating, auditing, and publishing
  • pnpm update --latest now applies the savePrefix setting when it rewrites a dependency whose range has no operator of its own, such as <2.0.0.

  • The interactive pnpm audit --fix picker now shows each patched version with the saveExact and savePrefix style that the override is written with #​13209.

  • pnpm unpublish <pkg>@<version> now deletes the tarball under the registry's path when the registry is served under one, such as Gitea's npm registry. It used to send the delete to the host root and report success without removing the version #​16568. It also no longer mistakes a sibling path such as /npm-mirror/ for the registry path /npm/ pnpm/tasks#94.

Output and messages
  • A warning about a project's devEngines or packageManager pin is now printed to stderr. A command such as pnpm cache path or pnpm list --json keeps only its own output on stdout #​16584.

  • pnpm list now reports the correct package paths when nodeLinker is hoisted #​9593.

  • Resolution errors now name the failing dependency and its parent packages. Fatal errors appear as structured error records with their error codes when using --reporter=ndjson.

  • The error for an invalid git repository in the lockfile now has the code ERR_PNPM_INVALID_GIT_REPOSITORY. Its message now lists every rejected form of the value.

  • pnpm runtime --help and pnpm help runtime now name the set subcommand and the runtimes it accepts #​16580.

v12.9.1: pnpm 12.9.1

Compare Source

This release moves the WebContainer build into a separate @pnpm/wasm package, shrinks the pnpm package back to about 4 MB, and fixes pnpm publish with provenance from GitLab CI.

Patch Changes
  • The WebAssembly build for StackBlitz WebContainers now ships as a separate @pnpm/wasm package. The pnpm and @pnpm/exe packages no longer include it, which brings their unpacked size back from about 55 MB to about 4 MB. In a WebContainer, install @pnpm/wasm with npm to get the pnpm command.

  • pnpm publish with provenance from GitLab CI is no longer rejected by the npm registry with a 422 error. The provenance statement now includes the GitLab CI variables in invocation.parameters, as npm does #​16551.

  • pnpm audit signatures now uses the TLS settings of the redirect target when a registry redirects its signing-keys request, for example to registry.npmjs.org. A cafile scoped to a private registry no longer makes the redirected request fail #​16541.

  • Fixed pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting an up-to-date lockfile when an injected workspace package uses a catalog entry in peerDependencies #​16557.

  • The [<since>] filter selector works again with Git 2.24 through 2.27 #​16561. With Git older than 2.24, the selector now fails with an error that names the required Git version.

    It also detects changes in projects whose directory names contain non-ASCII characters. Such a change used to be credited to the parent project. changedFilesIgnorePattern and testPattern now match changed files whose names contain non-ASCII characters.

  • The pnpm executable is about 10% smaller. On macOS arm64 it went from 45.1 MB to 40.3 MB.

  • Sped up trust downgrade checks for packages with long release histories.

  • With optimisticRepeatInstall: false, pnpm install now runs the projects' own lifecycle scripts, such as prepare, even when node_modules is already up to date #​16545.

  • pnpm self-update now fails for Homebrew-installed pnpm and prints the brew upgrade command for the installed formula, such as brew upgrade pnpm or brew upgrade pnpm@11. It used to install a second copy of pnpm that the Homebrew one kept shadowing #​16547.

v12.9.0: pnpm 12.9

Compare Source

This release runs pnpm in StackBlitz WebContainers, adds a per-registry networkConcurrency setting, and records every installed project in the store. It also carries a security fix for pnpm login.

Minor Changes
  • pnpm now automatically uses WebAssembly in StackBlitz WebContainers, including when installation scripts are disabled. Native installations continue to use the native executable when installation scripts are enabled.

  • A registries entry can now set networkConcurrency, the most requests pnpm keeps in flight to that registry's origin. Requests to other registries keep the overall limit. The setting may live in pnpm-workspace.yaml or the global config.yaml.

    registries:
      https://npm.corp.example.com/:
        scopes: ["@acme"]
        networkConcurrency: 4
    
  • pnpm install now records every project it installs in the store's projects directory, as a symlink to the project directory. A --frozen-store install without the global virtual store still records nothing. Only projects that used the global virtual store were recorded before #​6929.

Patch Changes
  • pnpm login no longer forwards credentials in its request body to another origin during redirects.
Installing packages
  • Fixed pnpm install failing on Android with ERR_PNPM_STORE_DIR_ACQUIRE_OPERATION_LOCK #​16508.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile again succeeds when a workspace project recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml has no directory, such as a project left out of a Docker build context. It still fails if the project's directory exists without a package.json #​16453.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer requires a pnpm-lock.yaml in a project that has no dependencies. It also succeeds when pnpm-lock.yaml records only the pinned pnpm version, as other commands write it when they run before the first install #​16477.

  • Fixed pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting a fresh lockfile when an injected workspace dependency has an optional peer supplied by another workspace project #​16428.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, a filtered install now keeps the packages of the workspace projects an earlier install put in node_modules. This also covers the install that pnpm --filter <selector> run and pnpm --filter <selector> exec start before the command. Before, these installs removed every package that only the unselected projects needed #​16483.

  • pnpm install with nodeLinker: hoisted now refreshes directories supplied by custom fetchers when reinstalling. pnpm also keeps the symlinks inside those directories.

  • With enableGlobalVirtualStore on, scripts can run entry points that a CommonJS require hook loads again, such as ts-node index.ts. They failed with ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION on Node.js versions without built-in TypeScript support #​16436.

  • pnpm now keeps each project's current lockfile and hidden hoisted dependencies in its own node_modules/.pnpm when virtualStoreDir points at a shared global virtual store. --virtual-store-dir now sets the global virtual store's location too pnpm/tasks#47.

  • pnpm clean no longer deletes the project when virtualStoreDir or globalVirtualStoreDir is set to the project directory. It also leaves a directory outside the project alone when the setting reaches it through a symlink. It now removes a global virtual store that globalVirtualStoreDir places inside the project, as it does for virtualStoreDir.

Optional dependencies
  • pnpm install no longer fails when a dependency of an optional dependency is missing from the registry. Like npm, pnpm now leaves out the nearest optional dependency above it, together with its subtree #​16511.

  • When an optional dependency fails to build, pnpm now removes its link from node_modules. A repeat pnpm install then reports "Already up to date" and no longer reruns the failing build #​16468.

  • pnpm install now prints a warning with the error when an optional dependency cannot be fetched and is skipped. The skipped package is no longer counted in the Packages: +N summary. The pnpm:skipped-optional-dependency log reports the skip with the fetch_failure reason #​16514.

Resolving dependencies
  • Fixed pnpm install changing an unchanged project's direct dependency to a sibling workspace's pinned version when its dependency tree contains a cycle #​16417.

  • With autoDedupe enabled, downgrading a dependency in one workspace project now moves the other projects to that version when it satisfies their ranges. This also applies to a filtered pnpm --filter <project> add #​16432.

  • pnpm install and pnpm dedupe now move an optional peer to the version already in the dependency graph when no other package provides its locked version anymore. After a bump such as vue 3.5.40 to 3.5.43, the lockfile kept a second copy of @vue/server-renderer for @vue/test-utils #​16443.

  • pnpm dedupe --check no longer fails right after pnpm install when a project's optional peer is satisfied by a package another workspace project installs. pnpm dedupe now picks the same versions for that package's dependencies as pnpm install #​16447.

  • pnpm install no longer re-resolves an up-to-date lockfile on every run when a patched package is a peer in a peer cycle #​16418.

  • With autoDedupe enabled, pnpm install --lockfile-only no longer resolves the dependency graph again when nothing changed since an earlier --lockfile-only install deduplicated the lockfile. Such an install keeps the lockfile even if versions were published since it was written, or if only a setting such as resolutionMode changed. Run pnpm dedupe to apply such a change #​16458.

Speed and network
  • A repeat pnpm install in a large workspace reports "Already up to date" faster #​16487.

  • Sped up dependency resolution of workspaces with many peer dependencies.

  • pnpm install sends fewer registry metadata requests when the lockfile already decides which version a range resolves to. This now also covers ranges that several locked versions satisfy when one of them outranks the others, and direct dependencies kept at their locked version. Packages that minimumReleaseAgeExclude lists without a version now reuse cached registry metadata the same way they do when minimumReleaseAge is not set #​16458.

  • pnpm no longer downloads every packument again on each install from a registry whose metadata responses forbid caching, such as Cache-Control: no-store. pnpm revalidates the cached metadata with a conditional request, so a registry that supports conditional requests answers with a 304 when the package has not changed #​16528.

  • Cached metadata for a package published within minimumReleaseAge is now revalidated with its ETag, so the npm registry can answer 304 Not Modified. Before, the next install that checked the cache downloaded the whole document again #​16506.

  • A fetch timeout while other downloads from the same host are still running now lowers concurrency for that host to one connection. Retries of that request, and later downloads from that host, use the lower concurrency. Other hosts keep the configured concurrency #​12791.

  • Sped up pnpm install --offline when the version a range picks is not in the store. While it looks for a version the store holds, pnpm now reads only the versions the range admits #​16495.

  • pnpm install --offline now reuses config dependency tarballs that are already present in the store pnpm/tasks#46.

Running scripts
  • pnpm -s <script> runs the script again, with -s meaning --sequential as it does for pnpm run -s <script>. pnpm rejected it with "unexpected argument '-s' found" #​16446.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec now warn and run the command when the install that verifyDepsBeforeRun starts fails. This lets scripts run in sandboxes where pnpm cannot install, such as containers with a read-only store or no network #​15173.

  • A filtered pnpm run or pnpm exec now finds dependencies out of date when a workspace dependency of a selected project has no node_modules directory, as after a filtered install. With verifyDepsBeforeRun: install, pnpm installs that dependency before running the command pnpm/tasks#45.

  • Scripts run without a terminal no longer start a second sh each. One watchdog per pnpm command now ends every script's process group if pnpm is killed, so pnpm -r run across many projects starts half as many processes #​16489.

  • Terminate batch job (Y/N)? no longer appears after pressing Ctrl+C in a script started with pnpm from PowerShell or cmd on Windows #​16502.

  • pnpm rebuild and pnpm approve-builds refresh command launchers when a build changes a command's interpreter or replaces it with a native executable. Dependent packages' build scripts use the refreshed launchers.

  • When pnpm run <script> or pnpm <script> finds nothing to run and --filter follows the script name, the error now suggests putting the filter option before the script name #​4655.

  • Package-name filters now support ? to match one character #​2817.

The pinned pnpm and pnpm self-update
  • pnpm no longer downloads the project's pinned pnpm version again on every command when nodeVersion in pnpm-workspace.yaml names a different Node.js major than the node on PATH. Before, each of those commands took about a second longer and failed without network access #​16497.

  • Several pnpm commands started at once in a project that pins packageManager no longer fail with The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process on Windows while the pinned pnpm is being installed.

  • pnpm can now switch to a packageManager version below 11 on x64 musl Linux, such as Alpine #​16467.

  • A devEngines.packageManager range no longer makes pnpm replace the version recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml with the running pnpm while the recorded version still satisfies the range. When pnpm does record a version, it records the running pnpm only if it meets minimumReleaseAge. Otherwise it records the newest version in the range that meets it, or the running pnpm if none does #​16431.

  • On Windows, pnpm self-update now replaces a pnpm.exe left in PNPM_HOME or in PNPM_HOME\bin. Windows ran that executable in place of the updated pnpm.cmd shim, so pnpm --version kept printing the old version after a successful update. If the executable was in PNPM_HOME, self-update now asks you to run pnpm setup #​9094.

  • pnpm self-update now checks that a version installed as the JavaScript pnpm can start before making it the global pnpm. If Node.js is missing, the update fails and the current pnpm stays in place.

Other commands
  • pnpm deploy now finds patches and local dependencies when the target directory sits under a symlink, such as /tmp on macOS. It failed with ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NOT_FOUND #​16470.

  • pnpm deploy --legacy now resolves the deployed project's relative file:, link:, and path dependencies from the project's own directory #​16475.

  • pnpm update --global now removes hard-linked executables from PNPM_HOME when migrating packages from the old global layout #​16420.

  • pnpm store prune no longer fails on store index entries that pnpm 11 wrote for git-hosted packages without a package.json. Entries that still cannot be read are kept and counted in the prune summary.

  • pnpm store prune now aborts when an error other than a missing directory occurs while scanning project directories in the mark phase.

  • pnpm config get and pnpm config list now report a setting given on the command line with --config.<name>=<value>. Before, a value such as --config.node-linker=hoisted reached the install but was absent from the reported configuration #​16276.

  • pnpm -r pkg get now reports every selected project when several share a package name. Projects with the same name are keyed by their directory relative to the workspace root. Before, only one of them appeared in the output.

  • The install summary shows a link: dependency as + name <- path, and the Node.js API's hideLinkedPkgsDiff reporter option leaves matching linked dependencies out of the summary.

  • The --force help text of pnpm install and pnpm add now says that --force keeps skipping optional dependencies built for other platforms. It points to forceIgnoresPlatform and the --os, --cpu, and --libc options for installing them #​16435.

  • The homepage field of the published pnpm package points to https://pnpm.io again.

v12.8.2: pnpm 12.8.2

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.2 fixes a startup crash on Linux ppc64le and UnknownIssuer errors on systems without CA certificates. pnpm run no longer installs before every script on CI when autoDedupe is enabled, and resolution and hoisted installs on macOS are faster.

Patch Changes
Platforms and environments
  • Fixed pnpm crashing on startup on Linux ppc64le #​16380.

  • Fixed installs failing with UnknownIssuer on Linux systems without CA certificates, such as node:24-slim, when NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS is set. The extra certificates now extend the bundled CA roots #​16365.

  • pnpm now creates its store operation locks and other per-user lock files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR when it points to a directory only the user can write to. Otherwise, pnpm still uses /tmp on Linux and macOS. Sandboxes that block writes to /tmp can point XDG_RUNTIME_DIR at a writable directory #​16390.

  • POSIX bin shims and the pnpm, pn, pnpx, and pnx launchers now run inside a Nix build, where the system default path holds none of the utilities they call. Installing again replaces the shims already in node_modules #​16377.

  • In a project that pins another pnpm version, pnpm now passes a command with an option it does not know to the pinned version. Before, pnpm rejected the option before switching, so pnpm install --auto-dedupe failed with "Unknown option" even though the pinned pnpm supports it #​16353.

Installing and resolving dependencies
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now fails when Cargo.lock does not satisfy a dependency requirement in Cargo.toml. The error names the crate and the version the lockfile holds #​16355.

  • pnpm install returns "Already up to date" again in a workspace with injected workspace dependencies and a shared lockfile. Since 12.7.0 every repeat install in such a workspace ran the full install and copied the injected projects again.

  • With injectWorkspacePackages: true, a fresh pnpm install now records a workspace dependency as link: when its injected copy differs from the project only by an optional peer that peer-dependent dedupe merges. It was recorded as a peer-suffixed file: copy #​16354.

  • pnpm dedupe --check now passes right after pnpm dedupe when deduplication merges variants of a package that differ only in their peers. A lockfile key whose peer suffix named a merged variant now names the variant that replaced it #​16356.

  • When minimumReleaseAge hides the version that latest points to, pnpm now falls back to a prerelease of the same major before a stable version of an older major. A stable version of the same major is still preferred. Before, while a new 1.0.0 was too new, latest fell back to an old 0.0.1 even though 1.0.0-beta.4 had been latest until then #​16388.

  • Git-hosted dependencies now respect pmOnFail. If it is set to anything other than download, a git-hosted dependency that pins a pnpm version is prepared by the running pnpm, and pnpm does not download the pinned version #​16376.

  • pnpmfile hooks such as readPackage now run once for a dependency that several packages request at the same time. They could run twice for it before.

  • childConcurrency now defaults to 5, the documented value. It used to be capped at 4 and to follow the host's CPU count.

Running scripts
  • pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install dependencies before every script on CI when autoDedupe is enabled. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now keeps the deduplication record left by an earlier install #​16374.

  • On macOS and Linux, lifecycle scripts and pnpm run now always get PATH from the PATH variable. When the environment also held a Path variable, a script sometimes got Path's value, and failed with node: not found #​16308.

  • pnpm run now exits after a SIGTERM in a container where pnpm is PID 1 and the script runs pnpm again, as "start": "pnpm serve" does. Since 12.6.0 it kept waiting after the script had shut down, until the container runtime killed it.

Other commands and settings
  • pnpm config get globalShims, pnpm shim list, and global installs no longer read globalShims from a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml. Only the global config file, the pnpm home's own pnpm-workspace.yaml, and PNPM_CONFIG_GLOBAL_SHIMS set it, so a repository cannot choose which globally installed packages get project-aware shims.

  • pnpm config set --location=project refuses a machine-level setting such as stateDir or scope with ERR_PNPM_CONFIG_SET_NOT_A_PROJECT_SETTING, which names where the setting belongs. pnpm config delete still clears such a key from a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml.

  • pnpm deploy no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_DEPLOY_AMBIGUOUS_PEER in a workspace with injectWorkspacePackages: true when a workspace package lists its peer dependency as a dev dependency too #​16375.

  • pnpm deploy no longer copies the workspace root's packageManager and devEngines.packageManager fields into the deployed package.json #​16403.

  • pnpm publish now includes bare README files and README files with Markdown extensions such as readme.markdown in registry metadata #​12704.

  • pnpm store prune now removes the packages that only expired pnpm dlx cache entries used. They were left in the store until the next pnpm store prune #​16383.

Performance
  • Sped up dependency resolution in large workspaces, and when many dependencies request different ranges of the same package. Resolution also uses less memory.

  • Sped up pnpm install with nodeLinker: hoisted on macOS when the lockfile is re-resolved, such as with autoDedupe enabled #​16397.

  • Sped up extracting package tarballs.

  • pnpm install without --frozen-lockfile is faster on some machines in projects with a pnpm-workspace.yaml. Those installs linked with one worker thread per core, half of what a frozen install uses.

  • On Windows, warm pnpm install --frozen-lockfile runs are 4-5% faster on 4- and 8-core machines. pnpm now links with one worker thread per core on Windows, between 4 and 16. This changes frozen installs and installs in projects without a pnpm-workspace.yaml on machines with 3 to 15 cores.

v12.8.1: pnpm 12.8.1

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.1 fixes pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting lockfiles with injected workspace packages that have peers, restores the executable bit on files of local directory dependencies, makes pnpm dedupe converge, and uses less CPU on many-core machines.

Patch Changes
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer rejects a freshly generated lockfile when an injected workspace package has peer dependencies #​16332.

  • Executable files in a file: directory dependency or an injected workspace package keep their executable bit again. Since 12.8.0, pnpm installed these files without the permissions they have in their project.

  • pnpm dedupe now reaches a stable lockfile when a package's peer suffix is long enough to be hashed. Before, each run could switch that package's key between the hashed and the spelled-out suffix, so pnpm dedupe --check always failed #​16331.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, the default in CI, now uses less CPU on machines with more than 8 cores. Warm installs on many-core Windows machines got up to 10% faster. Frozen installs now link with at most 16 worker threads.

  • verifyDepsBeforeRun no longer reports dependencies as outdated after a filtered install just because pnpm-lock.yaml has a newer modification time. It checks the lockfile against the packages that install put in place. Before, pnpm run reinstalled the whole workspace with lifecycle scripts on, for example after a Docker COPY brought in a lockfile with a newer mtime #​16322.

    After a filtered install, verifyDepsBeforeRun now also checks that the install put the selected projects' dependencies in place. A node_modules directory alone no longer counts as proof.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install a project that has never been installed and has nothing to install. Such a project declares no dependencies, no peer dependencies that autoInstallPeers would fetch, and no install lifecycle scripts. The command now runs without writing node_modules or pnpm-lock.yaml #​16313.

  • pnpm update -g --latest now upgrades globally installed packages beyond their saved version ranges #​16320.

v12.8.0: pnpm 12.8

Compare Source

pnpm 12.8.0 warns when pnpm pack or pnpm publish would ship a .env file that files does not list, installs sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false workspaces concurrently, applies every setting passed as --config.<name>=<value>, and no longer leaves the Windows terminal stuck after Ctrl+C in a script.

Minor Changes
  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish now warn when the tarball includes a .env or .env.* file that the files field of package.json does not list. Templates such as .env.example are not reported. List the file in files to publish it on purpose, or exclude it in .npmignore or .gitignore #​7826.

  • pnpm pack now honors --silent, --reporter=silent, and --loglevel=silent to hide the tarball contents and summary. With --json, lifecycle script output and the final JSON output remain visible #​10297.

Patch Changes
Installing packages
  • Installing through a pnpr server now records the pnpmfile checksum in the lockfile, so a later pnpm install --frozen-lockfile accepts that lockfile #​14460. A frozen install through the pnpr server now fails if the pnpmfile changed. If the pnpmfile defines a readPackage, afterAllResolved or preResolution hook or custom resolvers, pnpm resolves dependencies locally and prints a warning that the pnpr server was not used.

    Installing through a pnpr server also links a workspace project at the directory its publishConfig.directory names. A server that does not forward the setting makes the install fail with ERR_PNPM_PNPR_PUBLISH_DIRECTORY_MISMATCH, so pnpm never writes a lockfile that points at the wrong directory. The server rejects a publishConfig.directory that points outside its project.

  • Installing a git-hosted dependency that has to be built no longer fails when that dependency's own dependencies have build scripts nobody approved. pnpm skips those builds while preparing the dependency, as it does without strictDepBuilds #​9764.

  • A git-hosted dependency that is a pnpm workspace with no committed lockfile is now detected as a pnpm project #​14011.

  • pnpm install --dev and pnpm fetch --dev now install the optional dependencies of devDependencies, such as the platform binaries of Biome and oxlint. The project's own optionalDependencies are still skipped #​9678.

  • pnpm install --offline and pnpm add --offline now resolve a version range to the newest matching version whose tarball is already in the store. They used to pick the newest version in the cached metadata and fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_TARBALL when its tarball was missing #​10715.

  • If an offline install fails because the registry metadata cache uses the layout from before pnpm 11.27 and 12.4, the error now names the older mirror on disk and explains that one online install repopulates the cache. The error also carries the ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META code. pnpm cache prune --help now says that pnpm 11.26 and earlier, and pnpm 12.3 and earlier, depend on the directories it removes #​15656.

  • Running pnpm install now refreshes dependencies when a package declared with a local file: directory changes its dependencies #​4623.

  • A repeat pnpm install now keeps its fast up-to-date check when an override replaces a declared local file: dependency #​12892.

  • pnpm install now removes an optional dependency from node_modules if its install script fails. Code that checks whether the package is installed no longer finds a package that cannot load #​8756.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install now restores a workspace project's node_modules after it was deleted. Before, the install printed "Already up to date" and left the project without the dependencies nested under it. On Windows, the install also no longer fails with "Access is denied" when another project's copy of a shared dependency links to the deleted directory.

  • Under nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install now clears orphaned package directories that an interrupted or failed install leaves in a project's node_modules. A directory recorded by the previous install is removed, while an unrecorded directory is moved to node_modules/.ignored. A copy already in .ignored is never overwritten #​13676.

  • Concurrent installs no longer fail when they replace the same stale hoisted dependency link. Virtual store cleanup now keeps the temporary lockfiles that concurrent installs write.

Resolving and linking dependencies
  • pnpm install no longer aborts on a failed allocation of many gigabytes when peer dependency ranges combine overlapping || alternatives #​15867.

  • pnpm install no longer fails when a package from the registry declares a file: dependency on a directory inside itself, such as "@types/css-tree": "file:./typings/css-tree". pnpm links that dependency to the directory inside the package, as npm and Yarn do. The lockfile records it as link:<root>/typings/css-tree #​9141.

  • An npm: alias written by overrides now stays in place when a change elsewhere makes pnpm re-resolve the aliased dependency. Before, pnpm could look up the alias name at the aliased version, which failed with ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION or locked an unrelated package #​16309.

  • A peer dependency no longer resolves to two different versions for one package. This happened when the package peer-depends on another package and on one of that package's peers, and it is installed deeper than a direct dependency of the package that provides them #​12098.

  • An optional peer dependency is no longer resolved from another workspace project's package when the project provides one of that package's own peers at a version it rejects. This avoids bogus unmet peer errors #​13989.

  • pnpm dedupe no longer changes the lockfile on every run when a nested peer dependency is provided through an npm alias #​15709.

  • With resolutionMode: time-based and minimumReleaseAge both set, pnpm install no longer reports a subdependency as too new when only the time-based cutoff excludes it. Such subdependencies used to fail a strict install with ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION, or were added to minimumReleaseAgeExclude #​13569. A transitive dependency that has no matching version published before the time-based cutoff now resolves to the lowest matching version allowed by minimumReleaseAge. pnpm picks a version younger than minimumReleaseAge only if no older version matches #​16298.

  • pnpm install retries registry metadata fetches that fail with a timeout, a dropped connection, or an interrupted response body before it applies trustPolicy or minimumReleaseAge. A transient fetch failure is not reported as TRUST_DOWNGRADE or MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION #​12031.

  • pnpm's built-in package compatibility database no longer applies to a project's own manifest. A project named like a published package, such as vue-loader, no longer gains dependencies on pnpm install or pnpm update. User-configured packageExtensions still apply to project manifests #​11700.

  • Packages in an external virtualStoreDir can resolve the project's direct dependencies selected by hoistPattern. Run pnpm install --force to repair an existing installation #​5652.

  • pnpm install now links the executables of auto-installed peer dependencies into the workspace root's node_modules/.bin, including after a frozen-lockfile reinstall #​8511.

Lockfiles and frozen installs
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now works on a detached HEAD when gitBranchLockfile is enabled. The install reads the lockfiles of the local and remote-tracking branches that contain the checked-out commit. It still writes the shared pnpm-lock.yaml #​7672.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now accepts a lockfile that has no importer entry for a workspace package without dependencies. Such a package added after the lockfile was written made the install fail with ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_NO_IMPORTER #​15875.

  • pnpm install now fails with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY when an importer references a dependency version that has no snapshot entry. Before, the install succeeded and left a node_modules symlink pointing at a missing virtual-store directory #​14764.

  • pnpm install on CI now fails on an outdated lockfile when preferFrozenLockfile is explicitly set to true. Setting it to true used to let CI update the lockfile #​9072.

  • With gitBranchLockfile enabled, each emoji or other character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane in a branch name now becomes !! in the lockfile name. Before, each such character became one !.

Workspaces and filtering
  • pnpm install in a workspace with sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false now installs projects concurrently, up to workspaceConcurrency at a time #​14480. A project is resolved, fetched, and written to its virtual store without waiting for the workspace projects it depends on. It waits for them only before it links its dependencies and runs its lifecycle scripts, so its scripts still run after theirs. A project with a preinstall or pnpm:devPreinstall script, or with an injected or file: workspace dependency, waits for its workspace dependencies before it starts.

    The installs of the projects also share their package metadata, lockfile verification, and store caches, so they use less CPU and memory when several projects depend on the same packages. An install with a pnpmfile no longer starts an extra Node.js process when the pnpmfile has no preResolution hook.

  • With enableGlobalVirtualStore and sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false, each project now keeps its current lockfile and its hidden hoisted dependencies in its own node_modules/.pnpm. Before, every project wrote them to the workspace root's node_modules/.pnpm, so each repeat install treated the other projects' packages as its own and relinked them #​14480.

  • pnpm rebuild, pnpm approve-builds, and pnpm ignored-builds now work on the current project's node_modules when they run inside a project of a workspace with sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false. They used to read the workspace root's node_modules, so pnpm rebuild did not rebuild the project's dependencies and created a second virtual store at the workspace root #​9402.

  • pnpm install no longer creates a node_modules symlink inside the publishConfig.directory of a workspace package linked with linkDirectory. A build tool that cleaned its output directory through that symlink deleted the files of the package's dependencies. pnpm install also removes a symlink that an earlier install left there #​16226. It also no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_RESOLVE_PATH when such a package has a bin field and its publishConfig.directory does not exist yet.

  • pnpm install no longer fails for an injected workspace dependency whose package publishes from a publishConfig.directory that its own prepare script builds. The injected copy now picks up that directory once prepare finishes building it. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer reports the dependency as outdated while the directory has not been built yet #​7811.

  • An in-place edit to the source of an injected workspace package now shows up in its injected copy, unless a build writes to that package or packageImportMethod is set. pnpm hardlinks such packages under the default import method #​4410. Scripts listed in syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts now update injected dependencies while they run, so a watcher on the injected package, such as a dev server, sees each change before the script exits.

  • With sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false, an injected workspace package that has lifecycle scripts is now hard linked into the projects that depend on it. Before, pnpm left a plain copy, so later edits to the package did not reach those projects #​9828.

  • injectWorkspacePackages now hard links a workspace dependency declared with a relative path, such as workspace:../foo, the same way it already does for workspace:* #​10446.

  • Workspace discovery prunes dot-prefixed directories, so a packages pattern such as ** no longer matches projects inside .cache and other hidden directories #​16250.

  • pnpm import in a workspace now keeps the versions pinned by a yarn.lock inside a workspace project #​4385.

Store and caches
  • Files imported from the store now follow the umask of the install that writes them. Installing with a umask of 077 no longer leaves imported files readable by the group and others #​3807.

  • pnpm install keeps the owner, group, and mode of files already in a shared store, including index.db. New store files and directories inherit the store directory's group-write bit. When that directory is setgid, new files inherit its group. pnpm does not change a file's owner or group #​12765.

  • When pnpm install repairs a store file that was modified through a hard link in node_modules, the repair now keeps the file's inode on Linux and macOS, so hard-linked copies in other projects are healed at the same time. On Windows the repair still replaces the file, so other projects are healed on their next install #​3445.

  • pnpm install now reports a full store at once when writing package files fails. It no longer retries the tarball #​8581.

  • pnpm now warns when it cannot hard link packages from an existing store in the pnpm home directory and falls back to a store on the project's filesystem. This can happen when the project is on another filesystem, such as a bind-mounted workspace in a container. The warning names both stores and suggests setting storeDir #​14505.

  • The side-effects cache now restores the symlinks that a build script creates inside a package. A warm install used to replace each of them with a copy of its target #​12859.

    After upgrading, every package with a build script is built once more.

  • The global virtual store and the side-effects cache now key built packages by the Node.js version that the root project's devEngines.runtime or engines.runtime pins. That is the Node.js their build scripts run with. A dependency that declares its own engines.runtime no longer changes the key for every other package.

  • With enableGlobalVirtualStore, an install into a fresh node_modules no longer runs the build scripts of a dependency whose global virtual store slot an earlier install already built. pnpm rebuild still runs them #​14480.

  • Concurrent installs that share a global virtual store now run a package's build in its shared slot one at a time. A failed build leaves the slot in place and marks it for the next install to rebuild #​15568.

  • A warm pnpm install reuses on-disk package metadata for five minutes when the registry does not send an ETag. Registries that send an ETag, including the public npm registry, still revalidate with a conditional request. pnpm update still fetches current metadata #​13976.

  • pnpm no longer revalidates cached registry metadata when the registry sends Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, or no-store. It downloads the metadata again, so a version newly published to such a registry is visible on the next install #​13487.

  • pnpm install honors Cache-Control for dependencies named with an http: or https: tarball URL. A fresh response is taken from the store with no request, and a stale one is revalidated with If-None-Match #​15648.

Patched dependencies
  • pnpm install now repairs a pnpm-lock.yaml whose (patch_hash=<hash>) dependency paths disagree with its patchedDependencies map, including paths that lack the hash their patch calls for. Before, pnpm accepted such a lockfile as up to date and kept the old patched files. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now fails on such a lockfile with ERR_PNPM_INCONSISTENT_PATCH_HASH. It fails with ERR_PNPM_UNCHECKABLE_PATCH_HASH when a patch hash in the lockfile is malformed, or when the lockfile lacks the package version or patch entry that the check needs #​15336.

  • pnpm install with nodeLinker: hoisted now applies a patch once to each copy of a patched dependency in a workspace. Before, a copy that several workspace projects shared could receive the patch twice and end up with the patched content duplicated #​7565.

  • pnpm install and pnpm fetch now fail with ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NOT_FOUND when a patch file listed in patchedDependencies does not exist #​5268.

  • engineStrict now checks the patched package.json when a patchedDependencies entry changes engines. A patch that relaxes engines.node no longer fails the install against the published range #​9603.

  • pnpm patch now applies the existing patch file to the edit directory of a git-hosted dependency, as it already does for packages from the registry #​9699.

Adding, updating, and removing dependencies
  • pnpm add <dir> now warns when the added directory declares peer dependencies, as pnpm link does. The directory is saved as a link: dependency, and its peers are not resolved from the project that adds it. Use the file: protocol to have them resolved #​5523.

  • pnpm add --save-types no longer adds a @types/* package whose resolved version is deprecated. DefinitelyTyped publishes such stubs for packages that ship their own types, such as @types/typescript for typescript #​15636.

  • pnpm version, pnpm add, and pnpm pkg set keep JSON5 style when they update package.json5. ASCII identifier keys stay unquoted, strings keep JSON5 quotes, and indented files keep trailing commas #​15717.

Running scripts and commands
  • pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install dependencies automatically when the root package.json still keeps overrides, packageExtensions, patchedDependencies, or ignoredOptionalDependencies in its pnpm field. pnpm no longer reads that field, so the install rewrote the lockfile without those settings. The command now fails and asks to move the settings to pnpm-workspace.yaml #​16278.

  • When verifyDepsBeforeRun triggers an install before a filtered pnpm run or pnpm exec, pnpm now installs only the selected projects and their dependencies. A later filtered command also installs a selected project that an earlier filtered install skipped #​11865.

  • pnpm -r run /regexp/ now honors the tasks dependsOn declared for each script the selector matches, like running the script by name does. Matched scripts that depend on each other run in order. Each matched script runs once #​15596.

  • pnpm run exits with the code of a script that handles Ctrl+C and shuts down. A script that finished cleanly is not reported as a lifecycle failure. The commands after it in the same script still run #​9945.

  • pnpm no longer hangs after a lifecycle script exits while a process it started in the background keeps the script's output open. pnpm stops reading that output one second after the script exits #​5730.

  • pnpm run and lifecycle scripts use the configured scriptShell, including Git Bash on Windows, when shellEmulator is also enabled. shellEmulator still runs scripts when scriptShell is not set. Extra arguments passed to pnpm run are quoted for the shell that runs the script, so a Windows path stays intact #​14719.

  • With enableGlobalVirtualStore, dependency build scripts now see the workspace root's node_modules/.bin, as they do with a local virtual store. A postinstall script that runs node finds the Node.js installed by devEngines.runtime and no longer fails with "command not found" on machines without a system Node.js #​15652. Dependency build scripts also see the bins of privately hoisted dependencies.

  • Dependency install scripts now find the node-gyp bundled with pnpm when pnpm runs through a symlink, such as node_modules/.bin/pnpm or the pnpm that npm install -g pnpm links. They used to fail with node-gyp: command not found on macOS #​15694.

  • pnpm run and lifecycle scripts now set npm_config_node_gyp to the bundled node-gyp entry point. Tools that read the variable resolve the same node-gyp pnpm builds with. An npm_config_node_gyp value the environment already sets is kept as is #​16270.

  • Scripts now see the npm_command environment variable that npm sets. It holds run-script when the command runs a script, and the command's own name otherwise #​16265.

  • Commands run from a POSIX shell through a dependency's own node_modules/.bin, such as node_modules/vite/node_modules/.bin/esbuild, no longer fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND #​10189.

  • pnpx --version and pnpm dlx --version now print the pnpm version. Other unknown options before the command are reported as errors. Before, pnpm tried to download a package named after the option #​16259.

  • pnpm dlx now keeps the virtual store of its cached installs in node_modules/.pnpm, like every other install #​13955. pnpm pack-app now names the manifest of its runtime install directory pnpm-pack-app-<target>.

Publishing, packing, and deploying
  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish now ship a file that the files field names even when another entry excludes the directory holding it. For example, ["**", "!dist", "dist/index.d.ts"] ships dist/index.d.ts #​16213.

  • pnpm pack prunes a directory that a files field exclusion names, such as !**/test, excluding the directory and its contents from the packed package #​15738.

  • pnpm publish now waits at least 5 minutes for the registry to answer a publish request, like npm. This fixes "409 Conflict - Failed to save packument" errors when the registry is slow to answer #​11454.

  • pnpm deploy --prod no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE when the deployed project declares a devEngines.runtime with onFail: download. The runtime stays out of the deployed node_modules with the rest of the dev dependencies #​15703.

  • pnpm deploy with a shared lockfile now copies workspace dependencies into the deploy directory, even when packageImportMethod is set to hardlink. Before, their files were hard-linked to the workspace sources, so editing a source file also changed the deployed copy #​12176.

  • pnpm deploy --legacy no longer leaves broken links to nested local dependencies of workspace packages #​9575.

Configuration and pnpmfile hooks
  • Every setting pnpm supports can now be set with --config.<name>=<value> on the command line, not only the ones whose command also carries a matching flag. Before, pnpm install --config.frozen-lockfile=true dropped the setting and rewrote pnpm-lock.yaml as though the install had not been frozen #​16276.

  • Settings given on the command line, such as --registry and --store-dir, now take precedence over the values a pnpmfile updateConfig hook sets #​14063.

  • pnpm config set --location=project and pnpm config delete --location=project, run from a package inside a workspace, now write settings that belong in pnpm-workspace.yaml to the workspace root's pnpm-workspace.yaml. Before, they created a new pnpm-workspace.yaml in the current package, which made that package the workspace root. Settings stored in .npmrc are still written to the current directory #​13757.

  • pnpm now reads the workspace directory override from PNPM_CONFIG_WORKSPACE_DIR, like other settings. NPM_CONFIG_WORKSPACE_DIR still works as a fallback #​16275.

  • pnpm now fails with ERR_PNPM_AUTH_INVALID_BASE64 when a registry's _password in .npmrc is not valid base64. Before, it sent the value as the raw password. A username or _password left empty, for example by an unset environment variable, now supplies no credential #​16273.

  • proxy=false now turns proxying off even when HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, or ALL_PROXY is set. pnpm no longer sends requests through a proxy named only in ALL_PROXY.

  • pnpm install now runs the install hooks of a config dependency plugin's pnpmfile, including readPackage, afterAllResolved, and custom resolvers. Its pnpmfile is also counted in pnpmfileChecksum. Before, only the plugin's updateConfig hook ran, so a plugin could not change the resolved dependencies.

  • A pnpmfile fetchers hook now runs once per package on a fresh install when it handles a resolution with a custom type or delegates a git-hosted one to the same subdirectory #​15584. These packages were fetched a second time for installation, so the installed files could come from a different archive than the one their dependencies were read from. The hook also no longer runs twice when a resolvers hook returns a tarball resolution without a manifest #​15025.

  • pnpm install now re-fetches a package from a custom resolver when the integrity of its resolution changes, with or without enableGlobalVirtualStore. It used to update the lockfile but keep the old files in node_modules #​15670.

  • pnpm install now rejects invalid results from a readPackage hook. A hook that returns a non-object value fails with ERR_PNPM_BAD_READ_PACKAGE_HOOK_RESULT #​15730. A hook that sets a dependency range to a value other than a string, such as undefined, fails with an error that names the dependency, the package and the pnpmfile. Delete the property to remove a dependency #​15705.

Global packages, pnpm versions, and runtimes
  • pnpm update --global now reinstalls the global packages that pnpm 10 installed into the previous global directory, <global-dir>/5, so their commands are linked into the pnpm home bin directory again and pnpm list --global lists them. Once every package is migrated, pnpm deletes the previous directory and the commands pnpm 10 linked into the pnpm home #​11528.

  • A signal sent to pnpm, such as SIGTERM, now reaches the pnpm that pnpm switches to because of packageManager or devEngines.packageManager, and the one that pnpm with runs. The signal used to be dropped, so scripts running under that pnpm never got to shut down #​9948.

  • On arm64 musl Linux, such as Alpine on ARM, switching to a pinned pnpm older than 12 now runs the JavaScript pnpm package. The standalone executable of those versions crashed at startup on that platform #​10443.

  • Global shims such as node now work when pnpm runs through a relative symlink, as with a Homebrew install. They were copies of that symlink and did not resolve from the global bin directory #​15691.

  • pnpm env remove --global deletes Node.js versions that pnpm installed into its own store, including when another tool installed pnpm #​8357.

  • pnpm self-update no longer suggests a downgrade when minimumReleaseAge holds back the registry's latest release. It now says that release is still within the cutoff #​12006.

Windows
  • Interrupting a script with Ctrl+C on Windows no longer leaves the terminal stuck #​14860. A script that runs through a batch shim, as vite dev does through vite.CMD, made cmd.exe wait forever on its "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" answer, and every following keystroke went to that prompt. pnpm now ends a cmd.exe script shell once it has sat for a second after the interrupt with nothing running under it. A script that takes longer to shut down is still waited for. A second Ctrl+C ends the script's shell at once.

  • On Windows, pnpm run now passes the arguments after the script name to the script as typed. Before, cmd expanded %VAR% in them and backslashes arrived doubled. Line breaks still arrive as the two characters \n, because cmd cannot pass them. The command line pnpm prints for the script quotes the arguments the same way on every platform #​16257.

  • The Windows pnpm.exe runs on a clean Windows install that does not have the Visual C++ Redistributable. It used to exit immediately on startup because that runtime was missing #​15723.

  • On Windows, the .cmd command shims in node_modules/.bin now keep a % in the project path. Before, cmd.exe expanded it as a variable reference, so the command received a mangled NODE_PATH #​15716. Command shims also run tools whose paths contain non-ASCII characters #​6999, including the PowerShell shims in Windows PowerShell 5.1 #​16217.

  • Bin shims in node_modules/.bin run from Cygwin on Windows again. The shims passed a /cygdrive/c/... path to the Windows node found on PATH, so Node.js failed with Cannot find module 'C:\cygdrive\c\...' #​12845.

  • On Windows, installing pnpm with npm inside a project now writes node_modules/.bin shims that run pnpm.exe. A global install with npm install --location=global now gets the same shims as npm install -g #​15688.

  • pnpm install no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_INVALID_GLOB on Windows for a wildcard pattern such as plugins/*/* in pnpm-workspace.yaml when the workspace is on a different drive than the pnpm cache or state directory #​16239.

  • On Windows, pnpm install no longer skips a dependency's build script on a later install when the package ships an executable file and the script changes nothing inside the package directory #​15667.

  • pnpm setup no longer writes the pn.ps1, pnpx.ps1, and pnx.ps1 PowerShell wrappers. It also removes the ones an earlier setup wrote. PowerShell now runs pn, pnpx, and pnx through their .cmd wrappers, like pnpm itself. Before, these aliases failed with a "not digitally signed" error wherever the execution policy blocks unsigned scripts #​8444.

  • pnpm setup on Windows no longer panics when an unrelated environment variable has a name containing a non-ASCII character. It skips that variable #​15684.

  • On Windows, pnpm setup repairs the PNPM_HOME registry type left by older pnpm versions, even when the configured directory has not changed.

  • On Windows, the ERR_PNPM_BAD_ENV_FOUND error of pnpm setup now shows the value PNPM_HOME is currently set to. Before, it showed the directory pnpm wanted to set.

  • On Windows, pnpm expands nested %VAR% references in PNPM_HOME and the other directory environment variables it uses for its home, store, cache, state, and config directories. pnpm fails with an error when a %VAR% reference remains after expansion #​13236.

  • On Windows, if the global bin directory is not in PATH and a PATH entry still contains an unexpanded variable such as %PNPM_HOME%, the error now names that entry. A variable referenced from the user Path must be set to a full path and stored as a plain string (REG_SZ) for the entry to expand #​5283.

Inspecting dependencies
  • pnpm audit and pnpm audit signatures now fail with an error when the lockfile contains unresolvable dependency references #​13638.

  • pnpm licenses list now reports the actual on-disk package locations when using nodeLinker: hoisted or shamefully-hoist: true #​8589. With --json, its paths array now includes every installed copy of a package, including hoisted copies and isolated installations with different peer dependencies.

  • pnpm root now prints the configured modulesDir. It used to print node_modules regardless of the setting. A project's own modulesDir from packageConfigs is printed too #​9113.

Output and messages
  • With the default and append-only reporters, installs with --loglevel warn or --loglevel error now print the full output of a failed install script. The output of successful scripts, including the root project's own install hooks, stays hidden. With --loglevel warn, pnpm also prints ignored build script warnings.

  • When a dependency fails to resolve, the error now shows the cause. For example, a Node.js runtime download behind a proxy that re-signs TLS now reports invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer #​9556.

  • When installing a git dependency over SSH fails with Permission denied (publickey), pnpm suggests checking the loaded keys with ssh-add -l. Resolving an SSH URL that refuses the key also shows a local HTTPS rewrite that leaves the recorded URL alone #​13743.

  • Lockfile verification now fails with ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_URL_MISMATCH, ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_REVISION_MISMATCH, or ERR_PNPM_MISSING_NAMED_REGISTRY when every rejected entry failed that check. These failures were reported as the generic ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_RESOLUTION_VERIFICATION.

  • The lockfile verification error now suggests relaxing the policy that flagged an entry only if a fresh resolution still fails and you trust the affected packages. Errors from checks that no policy controls, such as a missing tarball integrity, no longer suggest relaxing a policy #​14411.

  • pnpm install no longer prints an extra Progress: line after the progress line is marked done #​16184.

v12.7.0: pnpm 12.7

Compare Source

pnpm 12.7.0 ships with .nvmrc and .node-version support in the global node shim, pnpm install --allow-build, pnpm publish --publish-wait-timeout, and pnpm-workspace.yaml created from the workspaces field. pnpm install --force no longer installs optional dependencies built for other platforms. This release also carries security fixes for bin shims on Nix, for lifecycle scripts of packages in a storeDir inside the workspace, and for userAgent placeholders in pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Minor Changes
  • pnpm install --force now keeps skipping optional dependencies whose os, cpu or libc do not match the host. It still refetches every package and lifts engineStrict. The new forceIgnoresPlatform setting restores the previous behaviour, installing optional dependencies of every platform under --force #​6133.

  • The global node shim created by pnpm now uses the Node.js version from the nearest .nvmrc or .node-version file when the project does not declare a Node.js runtime in devEngines.runtime or engines.runtime #​4471. The nearest directory with a Node.js runtime declaration decides the version. Within one directory, package.json takes precedence over .node-version, which takes precedence over .nvmrc. An .nvmrc value that only nvm can act on, such as system or a custom alias, is ignored.

  • pnpm install now supports the --allow-build option to selectively allow or deny package lifecycle scripts and record them in pnpm-workspace.yaml #​15388.

  • Added pnpm publish --publish-wait-timeout <milliseconds> to wait for published versions and their tarballs to become available from the registry. Set publishWaitTimeout in pnpm-workspace.yaml to configure a default. A value of 0 disables the check.

    Recursive publishing confirms availability before publishing dependent packages. If confirmation times out, the command fails.

    When pnpm publish -r --report-summary fails after some uploads were accepted, the summary file now lists those packages.

  • pnpm install now creates pnpm-workspace.yaml from the workspaces field of the root package.json when the repository has no pnpm-workspace.yaml. The projects the field lists are linked on that same install. An existing pnpm-workspace.yaml is never changed. With --ignore-workspace, no file is created. If the workspaces field later differs from packages in pnpm-workspace.yaml, pnpm prints a warning #​2255.

  • When a project pins a pnpm version or a runtime that another pnpm process is installing at that moment, pnpm now waits a few seconds and then installs and runs a private copy of its own. It used to wait up to five minutes and then use the shared install directory without the lock. The private copy is removed once the command has run. pnpm store prune removes any private copy that a killed process left behind #​15413.

  • pnpm now keeps the blank lines between entries of package.json when it updates the file, for example on pnpm add #​5602.

Patch Changes
Security
  • pnpm no longer expands environment variables in a userAgent set in a project's pnpm-workspace.yaml. A userAgent with a placeholder in that file is now ignored. Before this fix, pnpm sent the variable's value to the configured registry #​15415.

  • On Nix, a dependency's bin named like a system utility such as sed can no longer redirect a POSIX bin shim or the pnpm, pn, pnpx, and pnx launchers. The shims and launchers now ignore node_modules and relative PATH entries while they locate their own files. Installing again replaces the shims already in node_modules #​14883.

  • pnpm no longer treats manifests inside its store, cache, state, or modules directories as workspace projects. Before, a storeDir inside the workspace could let lifecycle scripts of packages in the store run without allowBuilds approval #​15033.

  • Packages that run a lifecycle script are no longer hard-linked into the virtual store, so a build script can no longer rewrite the workspace source of an injected package or the store copy it was imported from #​15483.

Installing packages
  • Fixed pnpm install, pnpm add, pnpm remove, and pnpm peers check running out of memory when many packages share a missing peer dependency. This mostly affected projects with autoInstallPeers: false #​15362.

  • pnpm no longer hangs for up to 5 minutes after a pnpm process was killed while setting up the pnpm version pinned in packageManager or devEngines #​15360, #​15393. The killed process left behind a lock that every later pnpm command in the project waited on. pnpm now detects that the process holding a lock is gone and takes the lock over at once. The same applies to the locks pnpm takes while installing a managed runtime or writing the global bin directory. Two pnpm processes that are both still running keep waiting for each other as before.

  • Requests to a registry or tarball server whose TLS certificate fails verification now fail at once. Such requests were retried for more than a minute without any output #​9134.

  • On macOS, pnpm now falls back to its bundled CA roots when system trust evaluation is unavailable, such as in a sandbox or when macOS cannot create an SSL policy for a registry connection. Installs failed or crashed on the first registry request in that case. Custom ca certificates are now honored directly #​15329, #​14461.

  • pnpm install now caps concurrent connections to a proxy at 50 sockets by default #​15280. It also immediately retries transient connection resets when downloading package archives.

  • pnpm install now reuses a package already present in the store when an existing lockfile entry satisfies the dependency, avoiding registry requests that fail without authorization #​2522.

  • Installing or adding dependencies no longer fails when a previously installed local tarball file was deleted from disk #​8367.

  • pnpm install now installs the new version of a local tarball dependency whose file was replaced at the same path #​2437. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejects such a changed tarball, even when the previous archive contents are in the store #​1889.

  • pnpm install now fetches committed submodules of git dependencies #​1470.

  • pnpm install now applies patches produced by pnpm patch-commit when an edit removes the trailing lines of a file along with its newline. The install no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PATCH ("expected end of hunk") #​12451.

  • pnpm install now preserves existing node_modules directories when a cross-device move reports EXDEV #​14504.

  • pnpm install no longer fails when writing the workspace state file encounters an error. Failures to update the state file now emit a warning instead of aborting the install #​14550.

  • Interrupting pnpm install with Ctrl+C or SIGTERM no longer leaves a temporary lockfile (.pnpm-lock.yaml.*.tmp) behind in the project #​1418.

  • pnpm install now relinks a direct dependency whose link in node_modules points to a missing target. Before, it reported "Already up to date" and left the broken link #​9758.

  • pnpm install uses less CPU when it links packages from a warm store. On Windows, a warm install could take several times longer than with pnpm 11 #​15439.

  • pnpm install now runs node --version once per run. A workspace whose projects keep their own lockfiles (sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false) previously ran the probe once or twice for every project, and on macOS the concurrent launches waited on each other, so a project could wait several seconds before its linking started.

  • A repeat pnpm install --frozen-lockfile with nodeLinker: hoisted in a workspace no longer re-links node_modules when nothing changed.

  • Custom fetcher hooks no longer run a second time during installation when an archive was already fetched during dependency resolution #​15025.

  • Fixed a package resolved by a resolvers pnpmfile hook installing without its own dependencies. This happened when the hook returned no manifest and a fetchers hook handled the resolution #​15552.

  • pnpm install --prod and other installs that skip devDependencies no longer run the pnpm:devPreinstall script #​7065. They skip prepare lifecycle scripts too, as do installs given package arguments.

  • pnpm prune --prod and production installs now remove devDependencies when lockfile: false is configured #​2677.

  • pnpm install --prod, pnpm fetch --prod and pnpm deploy --prod no longer install a devDependency that is only there to satisfy an optional peer dependency of a production dependency. pnpm list, pnpm why, pnpm licenses, pnpm sbom and pnpm audit leave it out of --prod results too. The same applies to --dev. A peer that is not optional is still installed and audited #​15344.

  • pnpm install no longer skips optional dependencies that the Node.js version locked for a devEngines.runtime range supports, when the range uses onFail: download. An explicitly set nodeVersion still takes priority #​14628.

  • pnpm fetch now also installs the pnpm version that pnpm-lock.yaml pins, when it differs from the running pnpm. A later pnpm install --offline that switches to the pinned version no longer fails because that version is missing from the store #​11808.

  • A dependency that ships a binding.gyp and sets gypfile: false no longer gets the node-gyp rebuild install script pnpm synthesizes for it. Such a dependency needs no allowBuilds entry and is no longer listed under "Ignored build scripts".

  • pnpm install no longer adds allowBuilds placeholder entries to pnpm-workspace.yaml when it runs in CI or without a terminal. Interactive installs still add them #​11574.

  • pnpm now detects the same CI environments as pnpm 11, including AWS CodeBuild, which does not set CI. On these services pnpm install uses a frozen lockfile by default and fails with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE when the lockfile is outdated.

Resolving and linking dependencies
  • Installing through a pnpr server now installs a project's peer dependencies when autoInstallPeers is enabled. A project that declared only peer dependencies failed with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE or skipped its peers #​14833.

  • pnpm now installs a dependency that a package also declares as an optional peer dependency, for example lightningcss in some vite builds. The dependency was missing from node_modules, so the package failed to import it #​8912.

  • Removal overrides such as "parent>peer": "-" now prevent optional peers from being installed from another workspace package #​15008.

  • Removing an entry from overrides now re-resolves the packages it targeted. A version the override had locked is no longer kept just because the declared range still accepts it #​4587.

  • packageExtensions and overrides entries with a ranged selector (such as @<X or @*) no longer match a dependency that has no package.json, such as a local directory dependency #​15007.

  • Trim leading and trailing whitespace from dependency override selectors in pnpm.overrides #​6356.

  • With trustPolicy: no-downgrade, pnpm now resolves the newest matching version that is not a trust downgrade. Previously a dependency failed with ERR_PNPM_TRUST_DOWNGRADE even when an older version satisfied its range. pnpm self-update picks its target version the same way. A request for an exact version still fails #​14176.

  • pnpm install now re-resolves a dependency when its manifest range is updated from a prerelease to a stable version. The lockfile previously retained the prerelease version and caused --frozen-lockfile to fail #​15528.

  • pnpm install --ignore-pnpmfile no longer removes pnpmfileChecksum from an up-to-date pnpm-lock.yaml. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-pnpmfile no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH when the lockfile records a pnpmfileChecksum. A command that resolves dependencies with the pnpmfile ignored still writes the lockfile without it #​10944.

  • pnpm install and pnpm peers check now use local tarball packages' actual versions when checking peer dependencies. Compatible packages no longer fail with strictPeerDependencies enabled.

  • pnpm peers check and the install-time peer dependency check now resolve peer dependencies from the workspace root when resolvePeersFromWorkspaceRoot is enabled #​14982.

  • autoDedupe and pnpm dedupe now move transitive dependencies to the version a catalog: dependency pins, as they already did for versions written directly in package.json. Previously they could move those dependencies to a higher version and keep both versions in the lockfile.

  • pnpm dedupe now produces a stable lockfile when a dependency's range matches both a direct dependency and an npm: alias of the same package. The dependency resolves to the version of the direct dependency. Repeated runs previously alternated between two lockfiles #​15588.

  • Merging lockfiles now preserves recorded configuration fields such as overrides, neverBuiltDependencies, patchedDependencies, packageExtensionsChecksum, settings, and catalogs #​8366.

  • A lockfile entry whose resolution is unchanged now keeps its recorded deprecated message #​5772.

  • pnpm no longer writes a package's legacy array-form engines, such as ["node >= 0.8"], to the lockfile. It was recorded as an object keyed by index, such as {'0': node >= 0.8} #​4518.

  • Tarball URLs recorded in the lockfile now strip default HTTP and HTTPS ports (:80 and :443) #​15539.

  • node_modules/.package-map.json no longer contains entries that point at directories that do not exist. Such entries appeared for packages installed only with peer dependencies, most visibly with enableGlobalVirtualStore #​14938.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, hoistWorkspacePackages now links each workspace project that hoistPattern or publicHoistPattern selects into the root node_modules, unless a hoisted package or a root dependency already uses its name. The project's bins are linked into the root node_modules/.bin #​7553.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install now removes the commands of the packages it removes from node_modules/.bin, such as a nested copy deduped into the root node_modules #​7568.

  • pnpm install no longer puts a dependency's bin on PATH for that dependency's own lifecycle scripts before the bin's file exists. pnpm links such a bin after the dependency's build has run. It also removes such a bin left by an earlier install. This fixes installing the node package on Windows #​15501.

  • Dependencies and executable binaries are now correctly linked and accessible for workspace packages using publishConfig.directory and publishConfig.linkDirectory #​8338.

  • Bin linking leaves workspace and linked dependency files outside node_modules unchanged. Already executable bin files no longer receive redundant permission changes.

Workspaces and filtering
  • pnpm install now finds workspace projects reached through a symlink, such as a packages directory that links to a folder outside the workspace. It installs their dependencies, and the links in their node_modules resolve #​1044.

  • A dependency declared with catalog: now counts as a workspace dependency when its catalog entry points at a workspace project, for example workspace:* #​15587. With linkWorkspacePackages enabled, so does an npm: alias of a workspace project, such as "math-alias": "npm:math@^1.0.0". pnpm -r run runs that project first. --filter <pkg>... selects it.

  • A workspace: dependency now resolves to a workspace project whose version is not valid semver, such as 1 or 1.0. workspace:*, workspace:^, and workspace:~ match it. A range identical to the version also matches it #​4567.

  • A workspace: dependency with an exact version now resolves to a workspace project whose version carries SemVer build metadata. For example, workspace:0.5.6-next.3 matches a project at 0.5.6-next.3+f60facc #​6483.

  • Secondary dependencies now prefer the version resolved by the local project's direct dependencies over versions from sibling workspace projects #​7191.

  • pnpm install now re-resolves a workspace project's auto-installed peer dependency when another workspace project changes its specifier for that package to one that excludes the locked version but still overlaps the peer range. The peer then resolves to the version a fresh install would pick #​11800.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now fails with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE when pnpm-lock.yaml lists a workspace project whose directory or manifest file is missing. The install used to report success without installing that project's dependencies #​7667.

  • pnpm install -r now installs every workspace project when recursiveInstall is set to false in pnpm-workspace.yaml #​7504.

  • pnpm install with --filter now installs only the dependencies of the selected projects when using nodeLinker: hoisted #​8882.

  • pnpm install now updates an injected workspace dependency after that package's own dependencies change, when shared-workspace-lockfile is false #​7209.

  • pnpm install now copies the output of a workspace package's own prepare, install, or postinstall script into the injected copies of that package. Before, the injected copies kept only the files that existed before the script ran. syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts now also works when modulesDir is set #​9464.

  • syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts now copies files into injected dependencies when node_modules is on another filesystem than the package sources. The sync previously failed with a cross-device link error and made the script run exit with an error #​14703.

  • A modulesDir with several path segments, such as www/modules, now puts each workspace project's dependencies in <project>/www/modules on both fresh and frozen installs, and pnpm bin prints <project>/www/modules/.bin #​15484.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm now installs the root project's dependencies into a custom modulesDir instead of node_modules. With a custom modulesDir, the virtual store and its lock.yaml now default to <modulesDir>/.pnpm.

  • A repeat pnpm install in a workspace with a custom modulesDir now takes the up-to-date fast path. Before, pnpm looked for each workspace project's dependencies in node_modules and ran a full install every time.

  • pnpm now warns when a workspace install covers a project that has its own pnpm-workspace.yaml. The nested file's settings, such as patchedDependencies, do not apply when the outer workspace installs that project. pnpm reads settings only from the pnpm-workspace.yaml at the workspace root #​11724.

  • The [<since>] filter selector now compares against the commit where the current branch forked from <since>. Projects changed only by newer commits on <since> are no longer selected. Uncommitted changes are still included. In a shallow clone without that commit, pnpm compares against <since> directly, as before #​9907.

  • --filter "[<since>]" now selects workspace packages when dependency versions change in a catalog in pnpm-workspace.yaml #​8718. It also selects projects that files were moved out of when git detects the move as a rename #​15481.

  • --filter now evaluates selectors in order, so later inclusion filters can re-include packages that an earlier exclusion filter excluded #​9354.

Adding, updating, and removing dependencies
  • pnpm add now saves changes to package.json before running lifecycle scripts, so a postinstall script failure leaves the added dependency in package.json #​8627.

  • pnpm add now saves the requested exact version when adding a dependency, even when the manifest already contains a version range #​6040.

  • pnpm add <pkg>@<version> and pnpm update <pkg>@<version> now move the catalog entry onto the named version when the entry's range already covers it. For example, ^7.22.17 becomes ^7.29.6, the same way pnpm update <pkg> moves an entry to the version it resolves #​13715.

  • pnpm add and pnpm install keep an empty peerDependencies, dependencies, devDependencies, or optionalDependencies field that was already in package.json. pnpm still drops such a field when it removes the last entry itself, as pnpm remove does #​5096.

  • pnpm update now keeps a version range whose shape has no save prefix, such as <= 3.0.0 or >=1.0.0 <2.0.0, when the updated version still satisfies it. Before, <= 3.0.0 became ^3.0.0 #​6714.

  • pnpm update <pkg> now moves a package off a locked version the registry no longer serves, such as an unpublished release. The lockfile check for supply-chain policies such as minimumReleaseAge used to reject that version before the update could replace it #​9953.

  • pnpm update --prod no longer installs devDependencies when run in a project installed with --prod #​8038.

  • pnpm update --interactive --workspace now allows external dependencies to be updated.

  • pnpm outdated and pnpm update now apply minimumReleaseAge to GitHub Actions. minimumReleaseAgeExclude entries match action names such as actions/checkout #​13923.

  • pnpm remove now accepts --trust-lockfile and --no-trust-lockfile to control supply-chain policy checks while removing a package #​14406.

  • pnpm unlink now removes the link: dependency that pnpm link <dir> added to package.json. The linked package is removed from node_modules and the lockfile. A link: dependency to another directory is kept #​4219.

  • pnpm install now prunes unreferenced catalog entries from pnpm-workspace.yaml when catalogPrune: true is configured #​15273.

  • minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune and trustPolicyExcludePrune now work in workspaces with shared-workspace-lockfile=false. Once every project has been installed, pnpm drops an entry only if no project lockfile records it. Undecided allowBuilds entries are pruned the same way #​14612.

  • Exclude entries that pnpm writes to pnpm-workspace.yaml now match the file's list indentation and dominant quote style #​15571, #​15079.

  • pnpm import now converts dependencies that use Yarn's patch: protocol. The dependency keeps the version it patches, and the patch file is added to patchedDependencies in pnpm-workspace.yaml. If the patch file is missing, pnpm prints a warning and imports the dependency without the patch #​10278.

  • pnpm import in a workspace now keeps the versions pinned by the root yarn.lock, package-lock.json, or npm-shrinkwrap.json when another workspace project's range allows a newer version. Before, the root project got the newest version in its range #​4385.

  • pnpm patch, pnpm patch-commit, and pnpm patch-remove now work in a project of a workspace with sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false. pnpm patch failed there with ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NO_LOCKFILE after a successful install. The reinstall after committing or removing a patch left the project's own node_modules unchanged #​9926.

  • pnpm patch-commit now resolves default patch directory locations when passed a package name or package specifier (such as pnpm patch-commit <pkg> or pnpm patch-commit <pkg>@<version>).

  • pnpm patch-commit now updates the lockfile snapshot and prunes removed dependencies when the patch modifies package.json #​6866.

  • pnpm patch-commit now falls back to copying package files when hard linking fails.

Running scripts and commands
  • A script that pnpm runs without a terminal now ends when pnpm itself is killed. Killing pnpm's process group, as Playwright's webServer does to stop the command it started, used to leave the script running and holding the caller's output pipes open #​15555.

  • pnpm --filter <project> <command> and pnpm -r <command> now run a command installed in the selected projects' dependencies when none of them has a script by that name. This matches pnpm <command> in a single project. pnpm run with --filter or -r still reports the missing script #​10151.

  • pnpm exec and pnpm dlx now set npm_execpath, INIT_CWD, npm_node_execpath, and NODE in child environments when Node.js is available. Stale inherited NODE and npm_node_execpath variables are cleared when Node.js cannot be found on PATH #​7037. Scripts that pnpx and pnx run now get pnpm itself as npm_execpath. A script that ran $npm_execpath install there ran pnpm dlx install.

  • pnpm exec now sets the PWD environment variable to the directory the command runs in. Shells and tools that read PWD now report the logical path of a workspace package reached through a symlink #​1550.

  • A script that runs pnpm run no longer adds duplicate node_modules/.bin and node-gyp-bin entries to PATH #​5352.

  • Concurrent pnpm run and pnpm exec commands now serialize their dependency installs #​14551.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec with verifyDepsBeforeRun now accept a moved project whose store is on the project's volume. Before, the check reported that the workspace structure had changed whenever the default store was not on the home volume.

  • verifyDepsBeforeRun checks now account for project-specific packageConfigs overrides in workspaces with sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false #​15545.

  • pnpm restart now runs the "stop" and "start" scripts when the package has no "restart" script. Previously it ran "stop" and then failed with "Missing script: restart" #​4750.

  • pnpm dlx now keeps a separate cache entry for each Node.js major version. A package built under one Node.js major version, such as a native addon, is no longer reused under another #​8611.

  • pnpm pipeline no longer fails when run in a project outside a Git work tree or on a system without git. Tasks in those projects run without caching, and pnpm prints a warning explaining why #​15601.

  • A runtime: version range that contains || or a space, such as a devEngines.runtime version of ^22.18.0 || ^24.0.0, now installs the requested runtime. pnpm used to install the npm package with the same name, such as node #​14817.

  • When the configured scriptShell does not exist, running a script now fails with an error that names the shell. Previously pnpm printed only an exit code or the package directory #​7562.

  • A script killed by a signal now fails with an error that names the signal, such as Command failed with signal SIGKILL. #​9821.

Publishing, packing, and deploying
  • pnpm publish now resolves workspace: dependencies from workspace manifests when node_modules is not installed. Previously, publishing without node_modules failed with ERR_PNPM_CANNOT_RESOLVE_WORKSPACE_PROTOCOL #​6567.

  • pnpm publish now honors publishConfig["@scope:registry"] for a package in that scope. It takes precedence over the registry set for the same scope in .npmrc and over publishConfig.registry #​12071.

  • pnpm pack and pnpm publish now include bundled dependencies when using the isolated linker. This covers workspace packages and the dependencies of each bundled package. Bundled dependencies are also included when publishConfig.directory selects a build directory #​1643.

  • pnpm pack, pnpm deploy, and installs of local directory dependencies now keep symlinks that point to files or directories included in the package. pnpm pack leaves out symlinks that point outside the package #​8208.

  • pnpm pack now preserves file executable permissions in the packed tarball when source files are executable on disk.

  • pnpm publish and pnpm pack now report a missing version or name field on a workspace dependency. Previously, pnpm reported that the dependency was not installed #​4164.

  • pnpm publish and pnpm pack now report an error when a bin script has a shebang line ending with CRLF #​7311.

  • pnpm deploy now copies the packageManager and devEngines.packageManager fields of the workspace root package.json into the deployed package.json, unless the deployed project pins a package manager itself #​9079.

  • pnpm deploy now puts the virtual store at virtualStoreDir, resolved against the deploy directory. A shared-lockfile deploy records virtualStoreDir in the deployed pnpm-workspace.yaml. With the global virtual store enabled or an absolute virtualStoreDir, the deploy still uses node_modules/.pnpm #​8787.

  • pnpm deploy now respects --package-import-method passed on the command line and reports the package import method correctly #​7593.

  • pnpm deploy does not run the prepare scripts of the deployed project #​7282.

  • pnpm deploy --legacy no longer rewrites the source workspace's node_modules/.pnpm-workspace-state-v1.json to describe only the deployed project #​15352.

Manifests and configuration files
  • pnpm now reads and updates package.json5 project manifests. Manifest updates retain comments, and workspace discovery prefers package.json, then package.json5, then package.yaml #​15129. pnpm pack includes exactly one package.json in the archive when the project uses an alternative manifest format, even when .npmignore or files excludes the source file.

  • Git-hosted dependencies that use a package.yaml or package.json5 manifest now honor its files field #​7906.

  • Fixed pnpm version failing on projects using a package.yaml manifest.

    Fixed pnpm init creating an extra package.json when package.yaml is already present.

  • pnpm version now applies pending bumps to private workspace packages. A private package's changelog is written to its committed CHANGELOG.md, also when versioning.changelog.storage is registry #​13736, #​13519.

  • pnpm init now supports the --bare option. It creates a package.json file with only the required fields #​15538.

  • The reporter setting is now honored when it is configured in pnpm-workspace.yaml, the global configuration, or the PNPM_CONFIG_REPORTER environment variable. Configured reporter: silent makes silent output the default. An explicit --reporter takes precedence #​4879.

  • .npmrc and pnpm-workspace.yaml files now support npm's ${VAR?} placeholder. It expands to the value of VAR, or to an empty string without a warning when VAR is unset #​14404.

  • pnpm now expands environment variables in _auth.authToken values loaded from global config.yaml and pnpm_config__auth.

  • pnpm now keeps the configured default registry when _auth holds credentials for several registries and some of those registries serve package scopes.

    Lockfile verification checks a tarball hosted on a scoped registry against that registry's metadata, unless the package's own scope has a registry assigned #​15530.

  • pnpm now parses the first setting in a .npmrc that starts with a UTF-8 byte order mark. Previously, the leading byte order mark caused the first line's key to be ignored #​15353.

  • pnpm now prints a warning when a .npmrc, auth.ini, or the file set by npmrcAuthFile exists but cannot be read. The settings in such a file were ignored without any message. A .npmrc that contains invalid UTF-8 is now read #​5065.

  • pnpm config set and pnpm config delete now preserve comments and repeated keys such as ca= in .npmrc #​14851.

  • pnpm login now logs back in to an existing user on registries without web login, such as verdaccio. The classic login request sends the username and password as basic auth, as npm login does #​12055.

  • Commands that do not use the store no longer create a temporary file in the project directory when they load their settings. These include pnpm view, pnpm config, pnpm root, pnpm bin, pnpm exec, pnpm run, the script shortcuts such as pnpm test, and the registry commands such as pnpm whoami, pnpm dist-tag, and pnpm search. pnpm exec, pnpm run, and the script shortcuts still create one in projects that declare configDependencies.

Global packages, pnpm versions, and runtimes
  • Global commands such as pnpm add --global, pnpm list --global, and pnpm bin --global now run with the pnpm you invoked, even in a project that pins another pnpm version. Previously, a pin with onFail: "download" switched them to the pinned pnpm, and a pinned pnpm 10 or older failed because its global bin directory was not in PATH #​14531.

  • pnpm add -g, pnpm update -g, and pnpm remove -g no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANIFEST_IO_ERROR when another global package's link into the store dangles, for example after the store was pruned. The pnpm install script failed the same way on such a machine.

  • pnpm update --global now skips a global package installed from a file: path that no longer exists, prints a warning, and updates the remaining global packages. Previously the whole update failed with ERR_PNPM_LINKED_PKG_DIR_NOT_FOUND #​12533.

  • pnpm self-update run in a project that pins pnpm through packageManager or devEngines.packageManager now also updates the global pnpm, as it does outside a project #​14747.

  • pnpm self-update no longer leaves the previous pnpm in the global packages when it was installed as @pnpm/exe. pnpm ls -g now lists a single pnpm #​14709. pnpm setup now installs pnpm under the package name pnpm too, so both commands leave the same shims in the global bin directory. After a self-update on Windows, PowerShell ran pnpm through pnpm.cmd and asked "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" on Ctrl+C #​15567.

  • pnpm setup failed with Text file busy (os error 26) when $PNPM_HOME/bin already held pn, pnpx, or pnx as links to the running pnpm executable. It now replaces those files and completes #​15494.

  • pnpm setup no longer deletes aliases and other lines that sit between a # pnpm comment and the pnpm block in a shell startup file #​7067.

  • When pnpm switches to the version a project pins, the minimumReleaseAge approvals for that version are now added to minimumReleaseAgeExclude in the project's pnpm-workspace.yaml. A project without that file gets one. Global commands leave the project's settings unchanged #​15396.

  • pnpm env remove now cleans up dangling Node.js executables and shims. Surviving global commands remain intact.

  • Node.js runtime resolution now supports Windows ARM64. Node.js 20 and newer resolve native win-arm64 builds, and older versions fall back to win-x64 under emulation #​7123.

Windows and WSL
  • On Windows, pnpm clean and installs no longer fail immediately when another process uses a package in node_modules. pnpm waits up to a minute for an open file. It waits up to 5 seconds for a running program #​15081.

  • pnpm install in WSL now waits out Windows file locks on a Windows drive such as /mnt/c, as it already does on Windows. Before, an antivirus or indexer scan holding a file open could fail the install with EACCES #​6155.

  • On Windows, pnpm now retries saving pnpm-lock.yaml for up to a minute while another process holds the file open. The save used to fail at once with EPERM, EBUSY, or "Access is denied" #​9461.

  • pnpm now escapes trailing dots and spaces in node_modules/.pnpm directory names. Windows strips these characters, so a dependency such as "parent-pkg": "file:../" created a directory that could not be deleted or failed to install #​8101.

  • On Windows, bin shims run from Git Bash, MSYS2, or Cygwin now pass NODE_PATH to Node.js as Windows paths. A project installed from cmd or PowerShell gave its bins a NODE_PATH under the Git install directory when they ran from Git Bash. Installing again replaces the shims already in node_modules #​3360.

  • Fixed scripts failing with errors such as 'an-compile' is not recognized when scriptShell is set to cmd.exe on Windows #​7181.

  • On Windows, the error for a node_modules directory that pnpm cannot move out of the way now names the directory and says that a file in it is probably in use by another process #​7505.

Inspecting dependencies
  • pnpm audit and pnpm audit signatures now check only the dependencies of the projects selected by --filter, --filter-prod, or --workspace-root. The filter used to be ignored, so a filtered audit reported the whole workspace #​10982.

  • pnpm audit now lists at least one dependency path from every workspace project that depends on a vulnerable package. Before, a project whose dependency was reached through more than 100 paths filled the path list, and other projects that depend on the same package were left out #​12200.

  • pnpm audit --fix now prunes redundant overrides when one vulnerable range is a subset of another for the same package #​8577.

  • Running pnpm list inside a workspace package without --recursive or a filter now lists only the current package #​14494. pnpm licenses list does the same. Use --recursive or --filter to list the licenses of other workspace projects #​5689.

  • pnpm list --only-projects now prints every project selected with --filter or --recursive, including a project that has no workspace dependencies #​9770. It also lists the workspace projects when sharedWorkspaceLockfile is false #​7151, and a project that sets publishConfig.directory #​10635. It no longer reports packages in node_modules that are missing from the lockfile #​9528.

  • pnpm licenses list failed or reported nothing in a workspace with sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false. It now reads the lockfile of each selected project #​10140.

  • With nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm licenses list reported every license as Unknown and listed paths under node_modules/.pnpm that do not exist. It now reads each package from the directory where the hoisted linker placed it #​8589.

  • pnpm outdated and pnpm -r outdated now fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_PACKAGE_IN_DEPENDENCIES when a requested package selector does not match any dependency in the inspected projects #​2319.

  • pnpm -r outdated --json now includes every outdated workspace dependency when multiple projects depend on different versions or dependency types of the same package. Such a package is keyed by its current version and dependency type, for example vue@2.7.14 (dev) #​7693.

  • pnpm sbom filtered to a single workspace project now takes the author, description, license, repository, and bugs fields from the workspace root package.json when the project does not declare them. A field the project declares is never taken from the root, even when it is blank or null #​14882.

  • pnpm store status no longer reports a package as modified when it has build or postinstall scripts, peer dependencies, or skipped optional dependencies #​15383. When packages were mutated, it now lists only those packages and no longer suggests running pnpm install --force #​919.

  • pnpm peers check and the ERR_PNPM_PEER_DEP_ISSUES error now group peer dependency issues under the workspace project they were found in #​15351.

Output and messages
  • The error for an incompatible pnpm-lock.yaml now reports the lockfileVersion the file was generated with and the lockfileVersion the current pnpm supports #​848.

  • When the registry stops sending data for longer than fetchTimeout, pnpm now reports that the metadata or tarball request timed out. Previously the error did not mention the timeout #​3646.

  • Fatal peer dependency errors and their hints are now written to stderr #​5419.

  • pnpm run with --loglevel set to warn, error, or silent (or the same loglevel setting) no longer prints the $ <command> line before a script, nor the summary of the install that verifyDepsBeforeRun runs first. Both are info-level output #​8944.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec now print No projects matched the filters in "<workspace>" when --filter selects no project #​8408.

  • pnpm dedupe now counts each package reused from the store once in its progress output #​15303.

  • pnpm add now warns when replacing an existing dependency with a specifier pointing to a different source #​14869.

  • pnpm link now warns when linking a package that declares one or more peer dependencies, explaining that the linked dependency will not resolve peer dependencies from the target node_modules and suggesting the file: protocol instead.

  • pnpm import now warns when package.json lists projects in a "workspaces" array and there is no "pnpm-workspace.yaml". Without that file, the import writes a lockfile for the root project only #​5240.

  • Bash completion now completes script names that contain a colon, such as pnpm run test:u to pnpm run test:unit #​5482.

v12.6.0: pnpm 12.6

Compare Source

pnpm 12.6.0 ships with automatic dependency deduplication, relocatable node_modules, package.yaml manifest editing, and --save-types support.

Minor Changes
  • autoDedupe deduplicates compatible dependency versions during installation #​7258. Enable it in pnpm-workspace.yaml or use pnpm install --auto-dedupe or pnpm add --auto-dedupe. Frozen installs leave the lockfile unchanged.

  • pnpm install, pnpm run, and pnpm exec on macOS and Linux now reuse a node_modules directory and bin shims that moved or were copied together with their project #​6937. The first command after the move checks the tree and records its new location, so project commands in node_modules/.bin keep working.

  • pnpm add --save-types saves available @types/* packages in devDependencies alongside registry dependencies #​3868. Packages that declare bundled TypeScript types are skipped. Set saveTypes: true in pnpm-workspace.yaml to enable this by default.

  • package.yaml manifests can now be updated by pnpm add, pnpm update, pnpm remove, pnpm pkg, pnpm link, pnpm set-script, and pnpm version #​2008. Existing comments and key order are preserved.

  • Catalog entries can now use the file: and link: protocols #​8642. A relative path or bare path in an entry, such as ./tarballs/foo.tgz, is measured from the directory holding pnpm-workspace.yaml.

  • pnpm tasks status lists running and waiting tasks in each concurrency group, and waiting tasks now take available slots in arrival order with higher priority tasks going first #​15208. If workspaces use different limits for the same group, a later task can take a free slot that earlier tasks cannot use. A package script named tasks takes precedence; use pnpm pm tasks status when that script exists.

  • pnpm cache prune deletes registry metadata cache directories that this version of pnpm can no longer read #​15046. pnpm cache prune --dry-run lists what it would delete without removing anything.

  • macosBackup.excludeModulesDir and macosBackup.excludeStoreDir on macOS can now exclude newly created modules, virtual-store, and package-store directories from Time Machine #​6440. Set either to true in global configuration or using the PNPM_CONFIG_MACOS_BACKUP_EXCLUDE_MODULES_DIR and PNPM_CONFIG_MACOS_BACKUP_EXCLUDE_STORE_DIR environment variables.

  • pnpm add --tilde is now an alias for --save-prefix=~ #​12863. The Yarn -T shorthand is not supported.

  • progress setting and --no-progress option now turn off dependency and download progress lines #​14065. Warnings, lifecycle output, and the dependency summary are still printed.

Patch Changes
Security
  • POSIX bin shims now take cygpath and wslpath from the system default path on Cygwin, MSYS2, and WSL2 so a dependency cannot redirect another package's shim #​14866.

  • pnpm install warnings no longer carry the text of a package's deprecation notice, naming only the deprecated package and version #​15099. A deprecation warning names the newest non-deprecated version when one exists, and control characters and line separators are stripped from package identifiers and warnings.

  • pnpm install and other commands that report configuration warnings now warn when environment variables in project .npmrc credentials are ignored #​15051.

Installing packages
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now succeeds when an optional dependency was unresolvable and skipped by the install that wrote the lockfile #​3960.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer installs dependencies of projects removed from pnpm-workspace.yaml #​15248. Missing local tarballs used only by those projects no longer fail the install.

  • pnpm ci now empties node_modules before installing in a project that declares a clean script #​15276.

  • package.yaml projects now record their pinned pnpm under packageManagerDependencies in pnpm-lock.yaml #​15167.

  • packageManagerDependencies pinning @pnpm/exe beside pnpm is no longer rewritten in pnpm-lock.yaml #​14926.

Windows
  • pnpm install on Windows now runs dependency build scripts from long global virtual store paths and normalizes scoped package paths in lifecycle script PATH entries #​15111.

  • pnpm install across projects sharing a global virtual store on Windows no longer fails with Access is denied, file-exists errors, or transient sharing violations #​15114, #​15176, #​15171.

v12.5.1: pnpm 12.5.1

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • pnpm now reports an unknown task setting in pnpm-workspace.yaml and carries on. It used to refuse to start, so a project could not use a task setting that only the pnpm version its packageManager pins reads. The setting is still an error when the running pnpm is that pinned version.

  • Python interpreter installation now retries historical release metadata requests. It caches the release list for up to 24 hours and refreshes it once after a lookup miss. When a release omits the current platform, the search samples at most eight other releases before reporting that the lookup is inconclusive.

  • Python registries entries now route packages by exact names or trailing-prefix patterns in packages. Registry declaration order no longer affects resolution. A matched package resolves exclusively from its assigned registry, including transitive and build dependencies. Use packages: ["*"] to declare the default index.

  • pnpm install no longer fails with "Too many levels of symbolic links" when a Cargo configuration file above the workspace is a symlink, such as a ~/.cargo/config.toml linked from a dotfiles repository.

  • pnpm install now returns "Already up to date" in a workspace where dedupeDirectDeps left a project without a node_modules directory of its own. Such a project forced a full install on every run.

  • pnpm install no longer refuses the repeat-install fast path just because a changed pnpm-lock.yaml is 16 MiB or larger. Such a lockfile forced a full install on the run after every change.

v12.5.0: pnpm 12.5

Compare Source

pnpm 12.5.0 makes Python a first-class ecosystem, accepts Package URLs in pnpm add, names whole platforms in supportedArchitectures, and gives tasks machine-wide concurrency limits. It also fixes an install that could reuse one package's downloaded tarball for another.

Minor Changes
Installing packages
  • pnpm add accepts a Package URL in place of a package name. pnpm add pkg:npm/express@4.18.2 saves express to package.json. pnpm add pkg:cargo/serde@1.0.188 saves serde to Cargo.toml. pnpm add pkg:pypi/requests@2.31.0 saves requests to pyproject.toml. pkg is now a reserved specifier prefix, whatever case it is written in, so a named registry can no longer be called pkg.

  • A registries entry can now name the ecosystem it serves.

    registries:
      https://internal.example/simple/:
        ecosystem: pypi
      https://pypi.org/simple/:
        ecosystem: pypi
      https://index.crates.io/:
        ecosystem: cargo
    

    ecosystem accepts npm, cargo and pypi. An entry that does not name one serves npm, as every entry did before.

    An ecosystem with several indexes searches them in the order they are declared. The first index that has a package supplies it, so the one declared last answers what none before it had.

    A registries entry may not carry credentials. pnpm reads them from .npmrc, matched by origin, for a PyPI index as for every other package source.

Configuring pnpm
  • supportedArchitectures now accepts a list of platforms, in place of the os, cpu and libc axes.

    supportedArchitectures:
      - linux-x64
      - darwin-arm64
      - win32-x64
    

    An install prepares for the platforms the list names, and for those only. A platform reads as <os>-<cpu>, with a C library on Linux, as in linux-x64-musl or linux-x64-manylinux_2_28. The Rust target triple of the same machine is accepted too, so x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu names the platform linux-x64 names. A Linux platform that names no C library is the glibc platform. current is the platform the install runs on.

    The os, cpu and libc mapping keeps working and keeps its meaning.

  • Added concurrency groups for tasks. A task in pnpm-workspace.yaml can name a concurrencyGroup. The new concurrencyGroups setting gives each group a limit. At most that many tasks of the group run at once on the machine, counted across every pnpm process, pnpm pipeline included. A task past the limit waits for a running one to finish. A script that calls pnpm run for a task of the same group runs under the slot its parent holds.

    tasks:
      test:rust:
        concurrencyGroup: cargo
    concurrencyGroups:
      cargo: 2
    
  • tools names the programs pnpm downloads, and mirror says where each one comes from.

    tools:
      node:
        mirror: https://mirror.example.com/node/download
        channels:
          nightly: https://nightly.example.com/
      bun:
        mirror: https://mirror.example.com/bun
      python:
        mirror: https://mirror.example.com/python-build-standalone/releases
    

    node, bun and python can be named. Any other tool is refused.

    mirror is the base a tool's own layout hangs off.

    channels sends one release channel elsewhere. A channel neither it nor node-mirror:<channel> names is left to mirror. Only node publishes channels, so naming them for another tool is refused.

    Set it in the global config.yaml or in PNPM_CONFIG_TOOLS. A pnpm-workspace.yaml that names a tool mirror is ignored.

    pnpm pack-app downloads the Node.js it embeds through tools.node. node-mirror:<channel> keeps working and names the same thing as an entry under channels.

Python interpreters and environments
  • pnpm install now chooses a Python interpreter for each project instead of installing every project with one interpreter #​14945. A project is installed with the first interpreter on the machine that its requires-python accepts, so a workspace can hold projects that support different Python versions. pnpm reads .python-version too, and prefers the version it asks for. Set python.executable in pnpm-workspace.yaml to name one interpreter for every project.

  • pnpm install now installs a Python interpreter when no interpreter on the machine fits the project #​14945. The builds are python-build-standalone's, which uv and rye install too. One interpreter is shared by every project on the machine, and a later install uses it without downloading anything. runtimeOnFail decides what an install with no interpreter that fits does, the way it does for a Node.js runtime. error reports the project instead of installing one. warn and ignore install with an interpreter the machine has that the project's requires-python rejects. tools.python.mirror names a mirror.

  • Python environments now live in the store. Each project keeps only its .venv link, which points at the project's current environment generation under python-envs in the store. A repository with many Python projects no longer holds a .pnpm/python-envs directory in each of them. The next install relinks a .venv that an earlier release published. The old .pnpm/python-envs directory is left in place, since a running program may still use it, and can be deleted once none does. With frozenStore set, pnpm writes nothing to the store, so environments stay in the project's .pnpm/python-envs #​15014.

  • Python environments now use packageImportMethod to import wheel files from the store. Use clone-or-copy for copy-on-write clones with a copy fallback, or copy for independent files. Hardlinked files share writes with the store and other environments.

    Isolated Python build environments keep backend writes private with copy-on-write clones or copies.

Python projects and workspaces
  • pnpm install now installs a Python project's own package, so the project can be imported and the commands in [project.scripts] run right after an install #​14945. The installed package points at the source tree, so an edit to a module takes effect without another install. pnpm installs the package of a project that declares a [build-system]. tool.uv.package overrides that either way.

  • pnpm install now installs a Python project in the workspace from its own source. Declare it under [tool.uv.sources], as shared = { workspace = true } or shared = { path = "../shared", editable = true }. pnpm builds the project with the backend it declares. It installs the build editable, so an edit to the project takes effect without another install.

    Approve the build backend under allowBuilds in pnpm-workspace.yaml as a Package URL, as pkg:pypi/hatchling: true. An install that has not approved a backend does not build the projects that need it. The message names the key to add.

    pnpm install now refuses a requirement that names a project in the workspace when nothing declares where it comes from. It used to take that name from the index.

  • The members of a uv workspace can now share one Python environment. Set shared-environment = true under [tool.pnpm.python] in the pyproject.toml that declares [tool.uv.workspace]. pnpm install then resolves every member as one graph into one pylock.toml and one .venv at the workspace root. Two members that require versions of a distribution no release satisfies at once are refused with an error naming both. Each project still gets an environment of its own by default #​15015.

  • Python projects can now select extras and dependency groups through [tool.pnpm.python] in pyproject.toml #​14945. Workspace python.extras and python.groups defaults now skip names a project does not define.

  • pnpm install now reads dynamic Python project metadata from the build backend #​14945. Projects with only a requirements.txt file now get a Python environment and lockfile.

Python dependencies and lockfiles
  • pnpm can now resolve pylock.toml for several platforms and Python versions at once. supportedArchitectures names the platforms to lock for and python.versions the versions. Every platform is paired with every version. One committed lockfile then serves Linux CI and macOS or Windows contributors #​14945.

    supportedArchitectures:
      - linux-x64-manylinux_2_28
      - darwin-arm64
      - win32-x64
    python:
      enabled: true
      versions: ['3.12', '3.13']
    

    The lockfile pins the wheel each environment takes for a distribution. It marks a package only some environments install. pnpm install takes the packages and wheels of the environment its interpreter matches, and refuses an interpreter none of them stand for. pnpm resolves a project that declares environments itself, not through the server pnprServer names. Naming neither setting locks for the interpreter running the install.

  • python.overrides and python.constraints pin the versions a Python resolution may pick #​14945. pnpm reads uv's own overrides and constraints from pyproject.toml too.

  • pnpm install now supports Python dependencies from Git repositories #​14945. Direct wheel URLs are also supported. Sources can be declared in [tool.uv.sources]. Git dependencies require allowBuilds approval.

  • pnpm install can install a Python release that publishes no wheel this interpreter accepts, by building the source distribution the index serves beside it #​14945. The archive is pinned in pylock.toml by name and SHA-256. A later install replays it from the store, offline included. Building a source distribution runs the release's own build backend. Approve it with pkg:pypi/<distribution>: true under allowBuilds.

    A resolution that finds no version of a distribution now says why. It tells apart a distribution no index publishes, one whose releases publish nothing this interpreter can install, and one whose versions the project's requirements exclude.

Patch Changes
Installing packages
  • pnpm no longer reuses one package's downloaded tarball for another package whose resolution pins a different integrity hash to the same URL #​15021.

  • pnpm install and pnpm add now report an error when package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, pyproject.toml or another file they snapshot before installing is a named pipe or a device. The command used to wait forever for something to write to it.

  • pnpm install --prod and pnpm install --dev now record every dependency group in pnpm-lock.yaml. node_modules still holds only the groups the filter selects. They used to write the filter into the lockfile, so a later pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejected it. pnpm prune --prod, pnpm prune --dev, and pnpm prune --no-optional behave the same way #​14912.

  • POSIX bin shims now convert a Windows-form path such as C:\node_modules\.bin\tsc correctly. The shim mangled the backslashes in such a path and could not reach the package it runs. Installing again replaces the shims already in node_modules #​14867.

  • Two pnpm processes installing one workspace at the same time no longer fail on Windows with "Access is denied" while writing node_modules/.pnpm-workspace-state-v1.json. The write now retries the transient lock the other process holds, as pnpm's other file writes do.

  • pnpm now reads the manifest from the tarball when a pnpmfile resolvers hook returns a resolution without one. Such a package installed alone, with none of its own dependencies and no warning #​15000.

  • pnpm install now merges Git conflict markers in pnpm-lock.yaml. It parses both sides of the conflict and keeps the versions they locked. A conflict in the config dependencies recorded at the top of the lockfile is merged too #​14880.

Cargo projects
  • pnpm install can now generate Cargo.lock for workspaces with path or Git [patch] and [replace] overrides. Adding, removing, and updating crates also preserve these overrides #​14950.

    Cargo lockfile resolution blocks unsupported Git transport helpers declared by transitive dependencies.

  • pnpm install now vendors recursive Git submodules for Cargo dependencies at their pinned commits. Cargo builds can use these sources offline. Set Git's protocol.file.allow to always to fetch local file submodules. pnpm fetches cached Git crates again on the first online install #​14951.

  • pnpm install now generates Cargo.lock for workspaces with Git dependencies, including a dependency that omits a package version. It also downloads the Rust standard library's dependencies when Cargo configuration enables build-std #​14944.

  • pnpm install now handles weak Cargo features, written crate?/feature. Resolution failed when one dependency turned on an optional crate and another asked for a weak feature of it #​14960. The generated Cargo.lock now also includes the dependencies weak features reference, which Cargo rejected with --locked for crates such as uuid #​14978.

  • pnpm install now generates Cargo.lock when a crate version it considers depends on a release the registry carries only as yanked. pnpm rules that version out and resolves the rest of the graph. Resolution failed with an error such as no non-yanked version of napi-build satisfies ^3.0.0-beta #​14952.

  • pnpm install now falls back to an older semver-incompatible version of a crate when the newest one a dependency range allows cannot be resolved. Ranges such as >=1, <3 span several of them #​14962.

Python projects
  • pnpm install now honors uv workspace members when discovering Python projects. When no uv workspace declares a project, pnpm skips projects under conventional example, demo, documentation, template, test, tests, and test fixture directories #​15058.

  • pnpm install --filter <selector> now installs only the Python projects the selection asks for. A Python project that shares a directory with an npm workspace project is selected with that project. A Python project in a directory of its own is selected by the distribution it declares, by its path, or through the [tool.uv.sources] entries that reach it. Under --fail-if-no-match, a selector that names only a Python project is a match. pnpm add --filter <selector> pypi:<package> writes the requirement to every selected project #​14945.

  • pnpm install now installs wheels whose RECORD hashes disagree with their contents. The wheel archive's locked SHA-256 hash remains verified. pnpm writes correct hashes to the installed RECORD #​15061.

  • pnpm install now installs a Python wheel whose WHEEL file lists tags that differ from the ones in its filename. A wheel whose filename tags were changed after the build, such as mysql-connector-python, was rejected #​14945.

  • A Python release whose wheel metadata declares a requirement pnpm cannot read no longer fails the install. pnpm now resolves the project against the other releases of that package, and reports the unreadable requirement when none of them works.

  • pnpm install no longer fails when a Python index lists a file pnpm cannot use, such as a release with no SHA-256 digest or an unreadable wheel filename. That file is left out and the project resolves against the remaining releases.

  • pnpm add pypi:<package> in a directory that has no pyproject.toml now names the missing file and says where to run the command. It used to fail with a bare No such file or directory (os error 2) #​14945.

Performance
  • pnpm audit no longer hangs on dependency graphs with many shared dependencies #​15005.

  • Sped up pnpm install in Python workspaces with many projects. Projects now prepare concurrently. Projects with identical registry requirements also share fresh dependency resolutions #​14945.

  • Repeat installs through the Node-API bindings now return "Already up to date" when the project manifests still match pnpm-lock.yaml. Before, every such install reinstalled the whole tree. An install also no longer reinstalls when pnpm-lock.yaml differs from the installed dependencies only by packages no project depends on or by top-level keys pnpm does not define.

Other commands
  • pnpm deploy now links commands exposed by workspace dependencies into the deployed project's node_modules/.bin directory #​14899.

  • pnpm dlx and pnx now prompt to approve dependency build scripts in interactive terminals #​14943. Cached packages with pending builds also prompt for approval. Without an interactive terminal, use --allow-build to allow the required builds.

  • pnpm add -g and pnpm update -g now ignore incomplete unrelated global package groups when every command from the replaced group is retained. Operations that could remove a global command still require complete ownership information.

  • pnpm pack now writes tarball entries grouped by file extension and file name, the order npm uses. Packages that ship many same-named files, such as template collections, pack much smaller #​14766.

  • pnpm outdated --long fills the Details column with the package homepage again #​14886.

v12.4.2: pnpm 12.4.2

Compare Source

pnpm 12.4.2 includes security fixes for executable shims and GitHub Actions links, more reliable installs, faster peer dependency checks in workspaces, and Python lockfiles that work across compatible targets.

Patch Changes
Security
  • Dependency executables can no longer take over another package's POSIX bin shim through its shell helpers. Reinstall dependencies to replace existing shims #​14837.

    On Cygwin, MSYS2, and WSL, shims still use PATH for Windows path conversion, so dependency executables can still redirect them there.

  • GitHub Actions homepage links no longer expose server credentials. GitHub server URLs now require HTTPS, with HTTP allowed only for loopback hosts.

Installing packages
  • pnpm no longer crashes at startup on FreeBSD and other Unix-like platforms. Platforms other than Windows and macOS use ~/.local/share/pnpm/store by default #​14859.

  • pnpm install on Windows no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR when clearing node_modules containing linked dependencies, such as when changing nodeLinker #​14790.

  • pnpm install <pkg> now accepts --prod and --dev, including --prod=false #​14868.

  • pnpm install and pnpm update now honor --ignore-workspace in nested projects excluded from the surrounding workspace. The flag also skips that workspace's settings during the packageManager check #​14809.

  • pnpm install on macOS no longer reuses stale files for file: tarball or git-hosted tarball dependencies.

  • pnpm install in a single-project directory now detects package.json edits made while the previous install was finishing #​14890.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now removes packages no longer reachable from any project in pnpm-lock.yaml. This also prevents repeated lifecycle script execution and unnecessary installs before pnpm run and pnpm exec with verifyDepsBeforeRun #​14891.

Resolving and updating dependencies
  • Node.js runtime resolution now reports network failures from unofficial-builds.nodejs.org. These failures previously omitted musl builds from pnpm-lock.yaml, making its contents depend on network access #​14813.

  • pnpm install now rejects invalid peerDependencies specifiers with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PEER_DEPENDENCY_SPECIFICATION. A value such as "foo": "foo@1.0.0" previously created a broken directory link #​14791.

  • pnpm deploy now writes plain registry versions in the deployed package.json, without peer dependency suffixes. The lockfile retains peer bindings, and npm aliases retain their target package names #​14873.

  • pnpm add <git repository> now names repositories without a package.json as @owner/repo, allowing dependencies on equally named repositories from different owners #​14870.

  • Peer dependency resolution now deduplicates packages whose child dependency resolves an optional peer in only some workspace projects, such as next with styled-jsx's optional babel-plugin-macros peer #​14800.

  • pnpm update now settles the lockfile in one run when an upgrade removes the package providing an optional peer dependency #​14895.

  • pnpm update --no-save now preserves override-applied specifiers for dependencies it is not updating, preventing subsequent frozen installs from failing with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE #​14836.

  • pnpm update --no-save now succeeds under minimumReleaseAgeStrict when every resolved version is old enough #​14835.

Performance
  • Workspace installs and pnpm peers check are faster when projects depend on each other, fixing a slowdown introduced in 12.3.0. Unmet peer dependencies of workspace packages are now reported only under projects that link them directly #​14906.

  • Hoisted installs use less memory when packages are cached. Frozen-lockfile hoisted installs on macOS are also faster when reusable package directories are cached.

Python projects
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now reuses pylock.toml across compatible Python targets, including after kernel updates. Reuse requires unchanged requirements, index, and requires-python, compatible wheels, and a locked dependency graph matching the target's markers #​14843.

    The lockfile's environments marker now includes only the interpreter version and marker variables used by the dependency graph. Without --frozen-lockfile, pnpm warns and resolves again when the locked graph no longer matches the target.

  • Python resolution no longer fails on malformed Requires-Python values, such as the trailing comma in openpyxl 3.0.x. pnpm treats these releases as declaring no interpreter range #​14910.

  • pnpm add pypi:... now rejects unsupported --save-prefix values before editing the manifest or resolving dependencies.

Workspaces and scripts
  • Scripts listed in syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_INJECTED_DEPS_SYNC_READ_DIR when the lockfile contains an injected package copy that no project depends on.

  • shellEmulator now expands ${VAR}, ${VAR:-default}, and ${VAR:+alternative} in scripts #​14814.

  • Cargo and Python project discovery now honors ! exclusions in pnpm-workspace.yaml packages, skipping both parsing and generated source configuration for excluded projects #​14844.

  • pnpm --filter "./packages/{app,lib}" now selects either alternative. Brace alternatives can nest, span path separators, and combine with other wildcards.

  • GitHub Actions updates now stop if an action reference changes during version resolution, and preserve unrelated workflow edits.

CLI and output
  • pn, pnpx, and pnx now run the pnpm installed alongside them, even when that directory is absent from PATH or another pnpm comes first #​14803.

  • pnpm --version now reports failures to install or record a project's pinned pnpm, then prints the running CLI's version. It also honors --store-dir and --store #​14831.

  • pnpm self-update no longer reinstalls the active version when it was installed by the standalone installation script #​14823.

  • pnpm t and pnpm tst work again as aliases for pnpm test.

  • pnpm sbom now emits valid repository URLs in CycloneDX externalReferences[].url and SPDX homepage. Shorthands such as vercel/ms become git+https URLs, embedded credentials are removed, and invalid repository values are omitted #​14773.

v12.4.1: pnpm 12.4.1

Compare Source

pnpm 12.4.1 fixes installs that failed on filesystems refusing hard links or clones, on Android, and under nodeLinker: hoisted. Repeat installs are faster.

Patch Changes
Installing packages
  • pnpm install no longer fails with Operation not permitted when the filesystem refuses a hard link or a copy-on-write clone #​14722. Under packageImportMethod: auto and clone-or-copy, pnpm copies the file instead. EdenFS checkouts, which have no hard links, and rootless containers, which refuse the clone syscall, both hit this. An explicit packageImportMethod: hardlink or clone still reports the error.

    pnpm also copies a package file whose store entry has reached the filesystem's limit on names for one file, 1024 on NTFS and 65000 on ext4. Such a file failed the install under packageImportMethod: hardlink, and under auto it stopped pnpm hard linking for the rest of the install.

  • pnpm install no longer writes a package file through a symlink left at the path it is importing to. Copying such a file overwrote whatever the link pointed at, and created that file when the link pointed nowhere. An executable package file also made the link's target executable.

  • Fixed pnpm install and pnpm dlx on Android. Registry requests crashed because pnpm found no system CA certificates, so pnpm uses bundled ones there #​14777. Imports also failed with "Permission denied" on filesystems that deny hard links and reflinks, and now fall back to copying #​14780.

  • pnpm install no longer fails with "Invalid cross-device link" while preserving a package's nested node_modules directory during a Docker build #​14758.

  • pnpm install no longer fails on a package tarball that carries a file at the archive root, such as the ._* entries macOS tar adds #​14701. The file is installed at the root of the package.

    A file: tarball packed without the usual package/ directory is now recorded under the name and version from its own package.json. It was recorded under the alias the dependency was given, at version 0.0.0.

  • Under nodeLinker: hoisted, pnpm install no longer re-imports packages that are already in place. A repeat install replaced the whole node_modules tree and reported Packages: +N. A package is still imported when its directory is missing, when its package.json no longer carries the installed version, when it is a file: dependency, and when it is patched. Lifecycle scripts no longer run again for a package left in place, and pnpm rebuild and a change to allowBuilds still reach it.

  • pnpm install now runs a dependency's build scripts again when its side-effects cache entry has no files to restore #​14717. Such builds were skipped and nothing was put in their place, so a script whose whole effect lands outside its own package directory, such as a git hook installer, never took effect. pnpm no longer publishes empty artifacts to the shared side-effects cache either.

Resolving and linking dependencies
  • pnpm install, pnpm add, and pnpm dedupe now apply ignoredOptionalDependencies #​14729. Matching optional dependencies are left out of the lockfile and are not installed. pnpm 12 installed them whenever it resolved dependencies from scratch.

  • pnpm install no longer links a transitive dependency to a workspace package when linkWorkspacePackages is true and the dependency is declared with a plain version range #​14781. Enabling preferWorkspacePackages does not change this. Set linkWorkspacePackages: deep to link them.

  • pnpm install no longer leaves dangling dependency links in workspace packages located above the workspace root #​14726.

  • pnpm install and pnpm add no longer leave a dangling symlink in node_modules when a project starts depending directly on a package that the lockfile holds only as a transitive dependency with resolved peer dependencies #​14714.

  • pnpm dedupe now keeps a compatible auto-installed peer when another workspace project depends on a newer major #​14697. Repeated runs alternated between compatible and incompatible peer versions.

  • pnpm peers check no longer reports a peer dependency declared as workspace:^, workspace:~, or a bare workspace: as unmet #​14770. pnpm reported these as unmet whatever version the linked workspace project supplied.

Performance
  • Sped up repeat installs #​14540. pnpm checks the store's files only for the packages it links into node_modules, instead of every package in the lockfile. Creating the command shims in node_modules/.bin makes about 1,500 fewer filesystem calls in a 76 project workspace. Installs that use the global virtual store read their slot paths from the cache directory instead of deriving them every time. Verifying a large lockfile also allocates less memory.

  • Sped up pnpm install in Cargo workspaces with many member crates. Repeated installs reuse verified Cargo checksum metadata.

  • Installing several packages from the same Git repository and commit now downloads the source once per install #​14725. Each package still runs its prepare scripts in its own copy of the checkout.

Running scripts and tasks
  • pnpm now passes Ctrl+C on to the script or command it started and waits for it to shut down #​14723. pnpm exited first, so a script that was still writing landed on the shell prompt.

  • pnpm run "/pattern/" --no-bail now lets every matched script finish after one of them fails #​14718. The command exits with ERR_PNPM_RUN_FAILED, and its message lists the scripts that failed in the order they were selected.

  • pnpm pipeline no longer fails on a project that tracks a symlink, such as a CLAUDE.md pointing at AGENTS.md #​14692. Changing a symlinked input's target invalidates that task's cache, and pnpm pipeline --no-cache no longer hashes task inputs.

Commands
  • pnpm add -g, pnpm update -g, and pnpm remove -g no longer change global bins or install directories after reading only part of an installed package group #​13796. If any declared package manifest is missing, malformed, or unreadable, pnpm now fails before it activates or removes anything and leaves the existing global installation intact.

  • pnpm dedupe now processes every workspace project by default, including workspaces that keep a separate lockfile per project #​14732. Workspace filters select which projects it processes, and --fail-if-no-match exits with an error when no project matches.

  • pnpm update <name>@<version> now keeps the range operator the manifest declares #​14745. Running pnpm update react@19.3.0 on "react": "^19.2.8" writes "react": "^19.3.0". A jsr: entry keeps its jsr: prefix, and a plain pnpm update now moves a jsr: range the way it moves an npm range.

  • pnpm --filter directory selectors now support ? wildcards and character classes such as [ab]. A * or ? wildcard no longer selects a directory whose name starts with a dot, as on pnpm 11.

  • pnpm deploy --legacy now prefers the dependency versions pinned in the source workspace lockfile when they still satisfy the deployed project's range #​13857.

  • pnpm sbom now leaves out a package's author field when the manifest author name is empty or contains only whitespace #​14685. In a filtered or split workspace run, only a project with no author field inherits the workspace root's author.

    pnpm sbom --sbom-format spdx now writes creationInfo.created with whole seconds, such as 2026-09-08T10:38:21Z #​14684. The fractional seconds it carried were rejected by strict SPDX consumers.

Configuration
  • The updateConfig pnpmfile hook now receives the resolved configuration, including settings that came from .npmrc, the command line, or a default #​14676. Scoped registries are reported under registriesByScope, and a hook may rewrite that map to change where packages are fetched from. Registry credentials are reported under configByUri, as pnpm 11 reports them. An unset setting is left out rather than reported as null.

  • pnpm audit --fix and the minimumReleaseAgeStrict approval prompt now keep the comments in minimumReleaseAgeExclude when they append an entry to it in pnpm-workspace.yaml. The rest of the list is left as written, and the trustPolicyExcludePrune and minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune cleanups keep the comments of the entries they retain.

    pnpm install and pnpm dedupe now run those cleanups too #​14759. Only pnpm add, pnpm update, and pnpm remove pruned the entries that the freshly written lockfile no longer resolves.

  • pnpm config set --global node-download-mirrors no longer rejects the key #​13611. The global config file already accepted nodeDownloadMirrors, but the command refused to write it.

  • NO_PROXY entries that start with a dot, such as .npmjs.org, now bypass the proxy for the domain and its subdomains #​14686.

  • pnpm no longer creates a project pnpm-lock.yaml when devEngines.packageManager.onFail is download and lockfile writing is off through lockfile: false or --no-lockfile #​14728. pnpm still switches to the pinned version.

  • pnpm now writes node_modules/.package-map.json only when nodeExperimentalPackageMap is enabled. Nothing reads the file without that setting, and an install that stops writing the map removes the one a previous install left.

Windows
  • pnpm pipeline no longer fails with intermittent access denied errors when concurrent tasks save their cache entries on Windows.

  • Windows filesystem operations now retry permission errors for up to one second #​14682. A permanent permission error delayed the failure by a minute. Sharing and lock violations keep their one minute retry budget.

Messages and output
  • pnpm now warns when the root package.json declares a non-empty workspaces array and the project has no pnpm-workspace.yaml #​2255. Such an install linked no project and said nothing about why.

  • ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR now names the file or directory in node_modules that pnpm could not clean up. It reported only the underlying OS error, such as "Access is denied (os error 5)".

  • pnpm --help no longer describes pnpm as experimental.

v12.4.0: pnpm 12.4

Compare Source

Minor Changes
  • pnpm can now manage npm, Python, and Cargo dependencies in the same workspace. Enable python.enabled or cargo.enabled in pnpm-workspace.yaml, then use pnpm install to install them together.

    • Add Python packages with pnpm add pypi:<package>. pnpm uses pyproject.toml, pylock.toml, and a managed .venv. Frozen and offline installs are supported, and pnpm run and pnpm exec make the environment's executables available #​14566.
    • Add Rust crates with pnpm add crate:<package>. pnpm supports crates.io and custom sparse registries configured with cargo.indexUrl. Registry authentication supports pnpm credentials and, for crates.io, CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN or $CARGO_HOME/credentials.toml.

    Both ecosystems support faster dependency resolution through pnprServer, with local resolution as a fallback when the server does not support it.

  • Added pnpm pipeline [name] to install frozen dependencies and run workspace tasks declared in pipelines. It selects affected projects, runs their task graph, and continues running tasks after a task fails.

    Tasks support inputs, outputs, env, and cache settings. Cached results restore task outputs and replay logs. Cargo tasks can reuse local build state between worktrees with tasks.<name>.cargoTargetDir. Set includeWorkspaceRoot: true to include root tasks.

    Use pnpm pipeline --dry-run to preview the task graph without installing configuration dependencies or running workspace hooks.

  • Added support for Android on arm64 and x64, FreeBSD on x64, and Linux on ppc64le, s390x, and RISC-V (riscv64 with glibc) #​14431, #​14597, #​7582.

  • Added trustPolicyExcludePrune to automatically remove unused versions and packages from trustPolicyExclude when running pnpm add, pnpm update, or pnpm remove. It is disabled by default. Package name patterns such as @scope/* are kept, and cleanup is skipped when sharedWorkspaceLockfile is false.

  • Added pnpm change check for CI validation of package versions against the versioning.epics bands and versioning.fixed groups in pnpm-workspace.yaml. It reports all violations, including packages that are not part of the current release.

Patch Changes
  • Registry metadata is now kept separate for registries with different URL paths or schemes. This prevents installs from using another registry's package versions or tarball URLs, and keeps metadata fetched over HTTP from being reused for HTTPS #​13558.

    The first install after upgrading refetches registry metadata. The package store is unchanged. pnpm cache view now shows full registry URLs. Scripts that parse the directory names from pnpm cache list-registries or pnpm cache list need updating.

  • Patches that add build scripts or a binding.gyp now trigger a build, subject to build approval. Unapproved builds appear under "Ignored build scripts" #​14648.

  • Build scripts can now be rejected before installing a package with pnpm add --allow-build=!<pkg>, including global installs. pnpm approve-builds <pkg> and pnpm approve-builds !<pkg> also save decisions when no packages are awaiting approval. They warn if the named package is not awaiting approval #​14067.

  • A registry configured in .npmrc now takes precedence over registry settings saved by pnpm login in the global config.yaml. This fixes installs using the wrong registry after login #​14614.

  • Large downloads over slow connections no longer time out while data is still arriving. fetch-timeout now limits how long a request can go without making progress #​14604.

  • Sped up installs in workspaces with many projects when reusing a warm global virtual store #​14540.

  • pnpm deploy is faster in large workspaces and no longer fails with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH when the project includes a .pnpmfile.mjs #​14539, #​14671.

  • pnpm add --workspace <pkg> works again. It saves the dependency with the workspace: protocol and links it from the workspace. The command fails if no workspace project provides the package #​14602.

  • pnpm add and pnpm install now accept protocol-prefixed selectors such as jsr:@scope/pkg, npm:pkg@^1.0.0, and workspace:pkg@* #​14590. Installs with JSR dependencies in the lockfile also no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_META_FETCH_FAIL #​14649.

  • Boolean flags now accept explicit inline values. For example, pnpm install --prod=false installs devDependencies, while --prod=true skips them #​14553.

  • pnpm install <pkg> now accepts --offline and --prefer-offline, as pnpm add <pkg> already did #​14194.

  • Fixed pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting a freshly generated lockfile when overrides use relative file: or link: paths in a workspace #​14555.

  • Fixed installs with config dependencies failing on symlinked lockfiles, such as those used by Bazel and Nix, when the config dependencies have not changed. Updates that would write through a symlink remain disallowed. Updating config dependencies also preserves lockfiles that start with a byte order mark #​14372.

  • Fixed package manager version pins being written to the wrong lockfile when lockfileDir is set. The pins also remain consistent across commands when version switching is disabled, avoiding unnecessary lockfile changes #​14633, #​14575.

  • pnpm import now respects lockfileDir and branch lockfiles without modifying other lockfiles. Failed imports restore the destination lockfile #​14563.

  • pnpm patch-commit now produces valid patches when files are added or deleted. pnpm install also accepts patches that delete files without listing their contents, and patch files with CRLF line endings #​14559, #​14557.

  • Fixed version ranges with partial upper bounds. For example, <=16 now includes all 16.x versions, and >=0.11 <=3 correctly accepts 3.0.1 #​14419.

  • Workspace package patterns now support . and .. segments and repeated slashes. Patterns such as ./packages/* and exclusions such as !./packages/foo now match correctly #​14571.

  • packageConfigs settings now apply to the specified projects when sharedWorkspaceLockfile is false, including overrides, hoist, modulesDir, saveExact, and savePrefix. Workspaces with a shared lockfile report which entries were ignored #​14556.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer report a changed workspace structure after a successful install when sharedWorkspaceLockfile is false and verifyDepsBeforeRun is enabled #​14588.

  • Commands run from a project's subdirectory now find the nearest ancestor with a manifest. This fixes commands such as pnpm bin returning paths under the wrong directory. pnpm init still creates its manifest in the current directory, and pnpm exec still runs there #​14622.

  • Relative scriptShell paths in pnpm-workspace.yaml now resolve from the workspace root, including when scripts run in nested packages. Bare command names such as bash still use PATH #​14422.

  • Fixed installing the pnpm version pinned in packageManager when nodeLinker is hoisted. Managed Node.js, Deno, and Bun installations also work when the global config uses nodeLinker: hoisted #​14595.

  • The JavaScript pnpm can again switch to a project's pinned pnpm version on platforms without a native binary for that version, such as Alpine Linux with pnpm 10 or Intel Macs with pnpm 11. If a native pnpm version does not support the platform, the error now names the missing target #​13622.

  • Provisioning Yarn 6 now uses GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN when available to avoid GitHub's anonymous API rate limit in CI. Tokens are only sent when strict-ssl is enabled.

  • Fixed concurrent installs sharing a global virtual store on macOS failing with "failed to import ... No such file or directory" #​14560.

  • Fixed pnpm setup failing with ERR_PNPM_DIRECTORY_FETCHER_PATH_ESCAPE on Windows. Local file: dependencies whose directories are symlinks or junctions are now packed correctly #​14618.

  • On Windows, installs now retry replacing command shims temporarily locked by another process #​14549.

  • Fixed argument forwarding on Windows with shellEmulator enabled. Paths ending in a backslash, line breaks, and literal shell expressions are preserved #​14548.

  • Windows store paths now consistently use backslashes in pnpm store path output and in the storeDir and virtualStoreDir fields of node_modules/.modules.yaml.

  • Invalid certificates in ca or cafile no longer cause an Invalid CA certificate error. Valid certificates still apply, and blank cert or key values are treated as unset #​14646.

  • Installs now respect the archive extraction concurrency limit even after a download is abandoned #​14585.

  • pnpm audit summaries now exclude advisories ignored through auditConfig.ignoreGhsas and report them separately. When all advisories are ignored, the summary says so #​14535.

  • pnpm pack --json now reports errors as JSON. Lifecycle script output appears before the final JSON output.

  • pnpm outdated -r now wraps the Dependents column, keeping the table readable when many workspace projects use the same dependency #​14591.

  • Shell completions now support the pn alias in bash, fish, pwsh, and zsh #​11955.

  • pnpm version now accepts -m as a short alias for --message #​14567.

pnpm 12.11.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.11.0...v12.11.1) This release fixes two ways `pnpm install` could fail, runs tools of any Rust release through `pnx`, and treats `registry.npmjs.com` as an alias of the npm registry. ##### Patch Changes - `pnpm install` no longer fails when `packageManager` pins the pnpm version that is already running and the registry does not publish that version. pnpm warns and continues. A registry mirror that has not synced a release no longer blocks the commands of a project pinned to it. - `pnpm install` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_CHMOD` when `node_modules/.bin` holds a shim that another user created, if everyone can already execute it and it is not world-writable. This happens when several users share one checkout. - `enable-modules-dir=false` (`enableModulesDir: false` through the Node.js addon) fetches the registry packages the host can install into the store again, as pnpm v10 did, while still writing nothing under `node_modules`. The setting exists for a `node_modules` that something else mounts from the store, such as a FUSE daemon, and that consumer no longer has to download each package on first access. A plain `--lockfile-only` run still fetches nothing. - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` no longer put `.npmignore` and `.gitignore` files in the tarball. A `files` entry that names one still ships it. - pnpm now treats `https://registry.npmjs.com/` as an alias of `https://registry.npmjs.org/`. Registry requests, credentials, and trusted publishing use the canonical hostname. - `pnx --package=rust@<channel> <tool>` runs a tool of that Rust release, for example `pnx --package=rust@nightly-2026-01-01 cargo build`. pnpm installs the release with the components and targets from `rust-toolchain.toml` and the target of each `--target` argument. - `pnpm install` now links agent skills for more coding agents. It detects the agent from `ANTIGRAVITY_AGENT`, `COPILOT_AGENT`, `COPILOT_CLI`, `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, `CODEX_SANDBOX`, `AI_AGENT`, and `CLAUDE_CODE` [pnpm/tasks#116](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/116). - When the registry rejects `pnpm stage publish`, the error message now starts with "Failed to stage package". <!-- sponsors --> #####

pnpm 12.11.0 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.10.1...v12.11.0) This release adds Rust toolchain management, links the agent skills that dependencies ship, adds the `permissions` setting, and keeps the colors of streamed script output. ##### Minor Changes - `pnpm install` now links the agent skills that direct dependencies ship under `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` into the project's agent skill directories, such as `.claude/skills`. A package's skills are linked only after you approve them with `pnpm approve`. The `skills.dirs` setting chooses the directories [pnpm/rfcs#35](https://github.com/pnpm/rfcs/pull/35). Added the `permissions` setting, which records what each dependency may do. Its `build` capability works like `allowBuilds` and takes precedence over it. `pnpm approve-builds` writes to `permissions` when `pnpm-workspace.yaml` already has it, and to `allowBuilds` otherwise. Added `pnpm permissions`, which lists the granted and denied permissions and the packages awaiting approval. `pnpm approve` reviews build scripts and agent skills in one prompt [pnpm/rfcs#36](https://github.com/pnpm/rfcs/pull/36). - pnpm now installs and runs Rust toolchains. - With `cargo.enabled`, `pnpm install` installs the toolchain named in `rust-toolchain.toml`. pnpm verifies the release signature, stores the toolchain once per machine, and links it into `.pnpm/rust`. `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` put its `cargo` and `rustc` on the `PATH`. - `pnpm add -g rust@<channel>` installs a toolchain globally. The `cargo` and `rustc` commands run it outside projects that pin their own. `pnpm update -g`, `pnpm ls -g`, and `pnpm remove -g` manage it like any global package. - In a project, `pnpm add rust@<channel>` pins the toolchain in `rust-toolchain.toml`. - `pnpm shim add rust` adds project-aware shims for `cargo`, `rustc`, and the other Rust tools. In a project with a `rust-toolchain.toml`, they run the toolchain the file names and install it on first use. Elsewhere, the next command of the same name on `PATH` runs, such as rustup's. - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` now keep the colors of script output that they print under the project's name, such as with `--stream`. pnpm sets `FORCE_COLOR=1` for these scripts when its own output is in color, unless `FORCE_COLOR` is already set. Script output is also rendered more cleanly: - A line that a progress bar redraws with `\r` shows only its last state. - Escape codes that move the cursor or clear the screen are dropped. - Long colored lines are cut at the terminal width. - `pnpm -r run` no longer garbles its live output when a script fails while other scripts are still running. ##### Patch Changes ##### Installing packages - pnpm no longer panics with "unexpected error when polling the I/O driver" when it runs under QEMU user-mode emulation, such as a `linux/amd64` container on an Apple Silicon Mac [#&#8203;16696](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16696). - `pnpm view`, `pnpm update`, and other commands that read registry metadata now work behind proxies that end a response by closing the connection without a TLS `close_notify` alert [#&#8203;16704](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16704). - pnpm now switches to the version a project pins in `packageManager` or `devEngines.packageManager` even when `pnpm-workspace.yaml` has a setting the running pnpm cannot read, such as a `lockfile.includeResolutionSettings` section. If pnpm does not switch, it still reports that setting [#&#8203;16675](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16675). - When the `pnpm` package has to download its native binary on first run, it now uses the registry and credentials from `.npmrc` and from the `npm_config_registry` and `pnpm_config_registry` environment variables. `COREPACK_NPM_REGISTRY` still takes precedence. A project `.npmrc` is not read when `COREPACK_INTEGRITY_KEYS` turns off the signature check [#&#8203;16655](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16655). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm add --config` now apply `minimumReleaseAge` when they resolve a config dependency. A config dependency range resolves to the newest version that is old enough, so a later clean `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` accepts the lockfile [#&#8203;16660](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16660). - `pnpm remove` with `catalogPrune` no longer removes catalog entries that `pnpm-lock.yaml` still records for workspace projects missing from disk. Before, a following frozen install failed with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` [#&#8203;16679](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16679). - With `cargo.enabled`, `pnpm install` now writes the source replacement for vendored crates into `.pnpm/crates/config.toml` and includes it as optional from `.cargo/config.toml`. A checkout without `.pnpm` builds with plain Cargo [#&#8203;16659](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16659). - With `nodeLinker.type` set to `loaded`, Node.js now stops with `ERR_PNPM_LOADER_UNSUPPORTED_NODE` when it preloads the store loader on a version the loader cannot serve. The supported versions are `^24.18.0 || >=26.2.0`. On other versions, CommonJS packages imported from ESM failed with `Cannot find module` on their first relative `require()`. - On Windows, `pnpm install` no longer fails with "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" when a package contains a file whose name is invalid on Windows, such as `icon.svg?as=metadata.d.ts`. pnpm removes the invalid characters from the name and prints a warning that lists the renamed files. - On Windows, hoisting no longer fails intermittently with link errors when a junction is created or replaced concurrently [pnpm/tasks#53](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/53). ##### Resolving dependencies - `pnpm install --no-optional` now installs the peer dependencies a project declares when `autoInstallPeers` is on. The lockfile marked such a peer `optional: true` when another dependency had it as an optional peer. - `pnpm install` and `pnpm dedupe` now link an optional peer to the workspace package that the workspace root depends on when the picked version matches it. They installed the registry package with the same name and version [#&#8203;16706](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16706). - Removal overrides such as `"debug>supports-color": "-"` now also apply to an optional peer that a package declares only in `peerDependenciesMeta` [#&#8203;16681](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16681). - `pnpm add` and other installs that re-resolve dependencies now keep the locked `devEngines.runtime` version while it still satisfies the declared range [#&#8203;16764](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16764). - `pnpm audit --fix update` now updates only the dependencies whose locked version is vulnerable [#&#8203;14928](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14928). - `pnpm outdated` and `pnpm update --interactive` now apply `overrides` before they look up the latest version. Before, a dependency overridden to an npm alias was compared with the latest version of the package the override replaces [#&#8203;16719](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16719). ##### Patched dependencies - Patches saved with CRLF line endings now apply, including a patch that creates or deletes a file. pnpm rejected the git headers of such a patch with `ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PATCH` and the message `invalid file mode: 100644` [#&#8203;16641](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16641). - A patch that changes a file's mode, such as adding or removing the executable bit, now applies the new mode on Unix [pnpm/tasks#110](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/110). ##### Injected dependencies and deploy - With `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`, an injected workspace package installed in the same run as its dependent now holds only the files its `files` field selects. The copy also held other files of the project, such as `tsconfig.json` [#&#8203;16683](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16683). - A script listed in `syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts` no longer fails when it rewrites `package.json` while pnpm is copying its edits into the injected copies. The sync after the script now replaces a half-copied manifest. - `pnpm deploy` with a shared lockfile no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` for `settings.dedupeInjectedDeps` or `settings.dedupePeerDependents` when `lockfile.includeResolutionSettings` is enabled. The deployed lockfile now records both settings as `false`, the values the deploy installs with. - `pnpm deploy` now writes the dependencies in the deployed `package.json` sorted by name. It also sorts the `allowBuilds` entries in the deployed `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. Repeated deploys of the same lockfile now produce identical files [#&#8203;16687](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16687). ##### Packing and publishing - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` now match `.npmignore` and `.gitignore` rules the way npm does. A negation such as `!lib/**` or `!lib/**/!(*.map)` re-includes files under a directory that an earlier `*` rule excluded [#&#8203;16743](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16743). - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` no longer always include root files that merely start with `README`, `LICENSE`, or `LICENCE`, such as `README_INTERNAL.md`. Only `README`, `LICENSE`, `LICENCE`, and `COPYING`, with or without an extension, ship regardless of `files` and `.npmignore`, as in npm [#&#8203;16753](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16753). - `pnpm publish --provenance=false` and `--no-provenance` now turn off provenance under trusted publishing, so a package can be published from a self-hosted runner. Setting `provenance: false` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` does the same [#&#8203;16721](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16721). ##### Speed and resource use - `pnpm install` hardlinks files from a group-writable or world-writable store again. pnpm copied every file from such a store into `node_modules` [#&#8203;16677](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16677). - A repeat `pnpm install` no longer imports patched packages and packages with build scripts again when nothing changed. Their builds no longer run again either. This happened when `recursiveInstall` was `false` or the project had a `file:` dependency [#&#8203;16705](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16705). - Verifying the lockfile against `trustPolicy` and `minimumReleaseAge` uses less memory. pnpm no longer keeps every published version's manifest of each checked package in memory until the install ends [#&#8203;16656](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16656). - `pnpm rebuild <pkg>` and `pnpm rebuild --pending` no longer read the manifest of every installed package to find build scripts. Only the selected packages are inspected and built. On a large `node_modules` served lazily, such as over a network or FUSE mount, this turned a rebuild of a few packages into a fetch of every package. - `pnpm rebuild` no longer removes and recreates `node_modules` when the settings recorded in `node_modules/.modules.yaml` differ from the current configuration. The rebuild runs the build scripts against the installed packages as they are. - `pnpm store prune` now compacts the store's `index.db` after removing package entries, so the file shrinks again [#&#8203;16717](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16717). ##### Registry commands - `pnpm whoami`, `pnpm bugs`, `pnpm docs`, `pnpm repo`, `pnpm star`, `pnpm unstar`, and `pnpm stars` now honor the `--registry` option. - `--registry` now takes precedence over a scope's configured registry for scoped packages in `pnpm access`, `pnpm view`, `pnpm repo`, `pnpm star`, `pnpm unstar`, `pnpm owner`, `pnpm deprecate`, `pnpm undeprecate`, `pnpm unpublish`, `pnpm dist-tag`, `pnpm team`, and `pnpm stage`. Without `--registry`, `pnpm access` now sends a scoped package or scope to the registry configured for that scope. - Registry commands now keep the path of a registry URL such as `https://example.com/npm/` when they build request URLs. This applies to `pnpm access`, `pnpm owner`, `pnpm ping`, `pnpm search`, `pnpm star`, `pnpm stars`, `pnpm team`, `pnpm unstar`, and `pnpm whoami`. - `pnpm view` now honors the network retry settings. - `pnpm repo` now fetches the repository URLs of several packages in parallel. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.10.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.10.0...v12.10.1) This release fixes `pnpm install` failures after an `overrides` change and on a filtered frozen install with `catalogPrune`. It also fixes several bugs in the experimental `nodeLinker.type: loaded`, which now keeps its generated files in `node_modules`. ##### Patch Changes - With `nodeLinker.type: loaded`, pnpm now writes its generated files to `node_modules`, which projects already ignore in git. The store manifest and loader are `node_modules/.pnpm/.store-manifest.json` and `node_modules/.pnpm/.store-loader.mjs`. Bin shims are in `node_modules/.bin`. Earlier versions wrote `.pnpm-store.json` and `.pnpm-store-loader.mjs` to the project root, and a `.pnpm` directory to the root and to each workspace package. Delete them after reinstalling. - With `nodeLinker.type: loaded`, packages that ship their own `node_modules` directory, such as `npm` with its bundled dependencies, now load from the store. Before, one such package in the install stopped every Node.js process from starting. - With `nodeLinker.type: loaded`, scripts can now run a Node.js runtime installed through `devEngines.runtime`. Before, every script that called `node` re-ran its own shim until it failed with "Argument list too long". - With `nodeLinker.type: loaded`, Node.js processes start faster. In a project with 13,000 stored files, the startup overhead per process dropped from 67 ms to 18 ms. - `pnpm install` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION` after a change to `overrides` when the lockfile resolves an optional peer dependency to an npm alias of another package [#&#8203;16654](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16654). - A frozen install with `catalogPrune` no longer removes catalog entries that `pnpm-lock.yaml` still records. Before, `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --filter` failed with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` when some workspace projects were missing from disk [#&#8203;16638](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16638). - `pnpm install --fix-lockfile` no longer removes the `deprecated` and `hasBin` fields from lockfile entries [#&#8203;6600](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6600). - With `enableGlobalVirtualStore`, an install that updates `node_modules` now repairs a package in the global virtual store that an interrupted install left without some of its dependency links or package files. Before, such an install kept the incomplete package if the project's `node_modules` already recorded it [#&#8203;16642](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16642). - `pnpm install` now skips the Cargo and Python projects inside a nested directory that has its own `pnpm-workspace.yaml` or `.git` directory, such as a git worktree of the same workspace or a separate clone. - The `Request took` warning for package metadata now starts timing when pnpm sends the request. Before, it also counted the time the request waited for a free request slot, so large installs printed it for requests the registry answered quickly. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table>

pnpm 12.10.0 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.9.1...v12.10.0) This release adds an experimental `loaded` node linker, lets `pnpm-lock.yaml` record resolution settings, and reads cached registry metadata faster. It also carries several security fixes, including one that stops a dependency version from writing files outside the global virtual store. ##### Minor Changes - Added experimental `nodeLinker: { type: loaded }` installation. Compatible dependencies load directly from the content-addressable store through an automatically registered Node.js loader. `nodeLinker.excluded` selects packages and their dependency trees to install in the global virtual store. - `lockfile.includeResolutionSettings: true` makes `pnpm-lock.yaml` record `autoDedupe`, `dedupeInjectedDeps`, `dedupePeerDependents` and `linkWorkspacePackages`. Installs then treat a lockfile that records other values as outdated. A lockfile that records `autoDedupe` is reused by later installs on any machine, so `pnpm run` after `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer starts another install [#&#8203;16583](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16583). ##### Patch Changes ##### Security - `pnpm install` now prevents dependency versions with path traversal from writing files outside the global virtual store. - pnpm now verifies locked config dependencies against their registry before installing them. Config dependencies must come from an npm registry. The lockfile can no longer replace the integrity of a config dependency pinned with `version+integrity`. - Lockfile verification now checks the tarballs inside a `variations` resolution against the registry. A `name@version` lockfile entry with an empty `variations` resolution is now rejected. - `pnpm audit signatures` now verifies signatures against the integrity recorded in the lockfile. Packages without a recorded integrity cannot pass signature verification. - `pnpm install` and `pnpm publish` now reject archive metadata larger than 64 MiB before reading it into memory. Publishing a pre-built tarball also rejects manifests and README files larger than 64 MiB. - Two URL or local path dependencies no longer share a virtual store directory when one URL has `+`, `#`, `:`, or `?` where the other has `/`. Such dependencies, including git dependencies pinned with `#`, now get a hash suffix on their directory name. - The warning about an ignored project `.npmrc` registry setting no longer prints the username and password of a URL-scoped key such as `//user:password@registry.example.com/${PATH}/:_authToken`. ##### Installing and resolving dependencies - `pnpm install` now fails with `ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL` when a dependency uses a specifier with a protocol pnpm does not support, such as Yarn's `patch:`. On Windows, such a specifier failed with `os error 123`. On other platforms, pnpm linked it to a directory that does not exist. Reading a `package.json` that fails now names the file [#&#8203;16590](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16590). - `pnpm install` now fails with `ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANIFEST_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE` when a project declares a dependency whose specifier is not a string, such as `"is-positive": 42`. Before, the dependency was silently left out of the lockfile. A `readPackage` hook can still correct the specifier. - Fixed `pnpm install` failing with `ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_RESOLVE_PATH` when an executable's parent directory contains a dangling symlink. - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_RESOLUTION_SHAPE_MISMATCH` when a `name@version` lockfile entry has a resolution served by a custom fetcher [pnpm/tasks#108](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/108). - `pnpm install --fix-lockfile` repairs a lockfile whose importer references a package that has no snapshot entry, as left by a badly merged lockfile. It failed with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY` since 12.8.0 [#&#8203;16618](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16618). - When a dependency moves an exact dependency of its own to an older version, a peer dependency that pnpm installed automatically now moves with it. Before, `pnpm install` and `pnpm dedupe` kept the newer locked version of the peer, so the lockfile held two copies of it, for example two copies of `vue` [pnpm/tasks#61](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/61). - `pnpm dedupe` now reads registry metadata for a dependency pinned to an exact version, as `pnpm install` does. If the registry metadata disagreed with the package's `package.json`, the lockfile it wrote depended on whether `minimumReleaseAge` was set [#&#8203;16615](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16615). ##### Speed and size - Dependency resolution reads cached registry metadata faster. The metadata cache moved to `<cache-dir>/v12/`, so the first install after upgrading downloads registry metadata again. A damaged cache entry is downloaded again, or reported as an error when `--offline` is set. `pnpm cache prune` also removes the metadata cache that older pnpm versions wrote under `<cache-dir>/v11/` [#&#8203;13512](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/13512). - Package metadata requests no longer wait behind queued tarball downloads when `maxSockets` or a proxy limits the connections to a registry. Large installs resolve faster and print fewer `Request took` warnings. - Sped up installs in large workspaces on macOS when the dependency links already exist. pnpm now keeps a link that already points at the right package without trying to create it first. Relinking the direct dependencies of 1,000 workspace projects took 45 ms, down from 116 ms [pnpm/tasks#65](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/65). - Commands in a project that pins a different pnpm version start about 13 ms faster on macOS. pnpm now runs the pinned version's binary directly, without the shell script in front of it [pnpm/tasks#66](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/66). - The pnpm binary is about 0.9 MB smaller, and the arm64 Linux binary is about 1 MB smaller still. ##### Running scripts and commands - `pnpm run` no longer prints `[ELIFECYCLE] Command failed ...` after Ctrl+C ends the script. pnpm still exits the way the script's shell did: on Windows with the shell's exit code (`cmd` reports `-1073741510`, PowerShell `1`), on Unix by re-raising `SIGINT` [#&#8203;16579](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16579). - `pnpm run "/<regex>/"` now accepts JavaScript regular expression syntax such as lookahead and lookbehind. A selector like `"/^hello:(?!b).*$/"` failed with `ERR_PNPM_NO_SCRIPT` [#&#8203;16604](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16604). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` now forward `--config.*` command-line flags to the install started by `verifyDepsBeforeRun` [pnpm/tasks#60](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/60). - On Windows, a process started by `pnpm run` or `pnpm exec` can again start a child with `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB`. That child keeps running after pnpm exits, even if the command fails [#&#8203;16628](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16628). - Empty `nodeOptions` values from command-line flags and environment variables now override lower-priority settings. Scripts retain `NODE_OPTIONS` from the parent environment or `extraEnv` when `nodeOptions` is empty. - pnpm now reads the `failIfNoMatch` setting from `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, so a filter that matches no workspace project exits with code 1 when the setting is `true`. The new `--no-fail-if-no-match` flag turns the setting off for one command [#&#8203;16577](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16577). ##### Configuration, setup, and pnpm versions - `pnpm config get --global` and `pnpm config list --global` now show only the global configuration, also when run inside a project. Settings from the project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml` and `.npmrc` were included before. The same applies to `--location=global` [#&#8203;16598](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16598). - pnpm now prints config warnings, such as an unset environment variable in `.npmrc`, when loading the config fails. - pnpm 11 releases older than 11.28.4 can run pnpm 12 again when the `packageManager` field pins it. Since 12.9.0 they failed with `SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token` [#&#8203;16594](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16594). - On Windows, `pnpm self-update` no longer runs the update a second time when it replaces a `pnpm.cmd` linked by pnpm 12.8 or older. cmd.exe read on in the replaced `pnpm.cmd`, printed an error about a command that is not recognized, and ran the new pnpm once more [#&#8203;16573](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16573). - `pnpm setup` now puts `$PNPM_HOME/bin` first on `PATH` in login shells that inherited it further down, such as the VS Code terminal on macOS. Before, another `node` took precedence over the one installed by `pnpm runtime set node -g`. Run `pnpm setup` again to update the block in your shell config [#&#8203;16635](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16635). - `pnpm setup` now names the shell config file even if it is already up to date [#&#8203;16608](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16608). ##### Updating, auditing, and publishing - `pnpm update --latest` now applies the `savePrefix` setting when it rewrites a dependency whose range has no operator of its own, such as `<2.0.0`. - The interactive `pnpm audit --fix` picker now shows each patched version with the `saveExact` and `savePrefix` style that the override is written with [#&#8203;13209](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13209). - `pnpm unpublish <pkg>@<version>` now deletes the tarball under the registry's path when the registry is served under one, such as Gitea's npm registry. It used to send the delete to the host root and report success without removing the version [#&#8203;16568](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16568). It also no longer mistakes a sibling path such as `/npm-mirror/` for the registry path `/npm/` [pnpm/tasks#94](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/94). ##### Output and messages - A warning about a project's `devEngines` or `packageManager` pin is now printed to stderr. A command such as `pnpm cache path` or `pnpm list --json` keeps only its own output on stdout [#&#8203;16584](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16584). - `pnpm list` now reports the correct package paths when `nodeLinker` is `hoisted` [#&#8203;9593](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9593). - Resolution errors now name the failing dependency and its parent packages. Fatal errors appear as structured error records with their error codes when using `--reporter=ndjson`. - The error for an invalid git repository in the lockfile now has the code `ERR_PNPM_INVALID_GIT_REPOSITORY`. Its message now lists every rejected form of the value. - `pnpm runtime --help` and `pnpm help runtime` now name the `set` subcommand and the runtimes it accepts [#&#8203;16580](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16580). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.9.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.9.0...v12.9.1) This release moves the WebContainer build into a separate `@pnpm/wasm` package, shrinks the `pnpm` package back to about 4 MB, and fixes `pnpm publish` with provenance from GitLab CI. ##### Patch Changes - The WebAssembly build for StackBlitz WebContainers now ships as a separate `@pnpm/wasm` package. The `pnpm` and `@pnpm/exe` packages no longer include it, which brings their unpacked size back from about 55 MB to about 4 MB. In a WebContainer, install `@pnpm/wasm` with npm to get the `pnpm` command. - `pnpm publish` with provenance from GitLab CI is no longer rejected by the npm registry with a 422 error. The provenance statement now includes the GitLab CI variables in `invocation.parameters`, as npm does [#&#8203;16551](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16551). - `pnpm audit signatures` now uses the TLS settings of the redirect target when a registry redirects its signing-keys request, for example to registry.npmjs.org. A `cafile` scoped to a private registry no longer makes the redirected request fail [#&#8203;16541](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16541). - Fixed `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejecting an up-to-date lockfile when an injected workspace package uses a catalog entry in `peerDependencies` [#&#8203;16557](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16557). - The `[<since>]` filter selector works again with Git 2.24 through 2.27 [#&#8203;16561](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16561). With Git older than 2.24, the selector now fails with an error that names the required Git version. It also detects changes in projects whose directory names contain non-ASCII characters. Such a change used to be credited to the parent project. `changedFilesIgnorePattern` and `testPattern` now match changed files whose names contain non-ASCII characters. - The `pnpm` executable is about 10% smaller. On macOS arm64 it went from 45.1 MB to 40.3 MB. - Sped up trust downgrade checks for packages with long release histories. - With `optimisticRepeatInstall: false`, `pnpm install` now runs the projects' own lifecycle scripts, such as `prepare`, even when `node_modules` is already up to date [#&#8203;16545](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16545). - `pnpm self-update` now fails for Homebrew-installed pnpm and prints the `brew upgrade` command for the installed formula, such as `brew upgrade pnpm` or `brew upgrade pnpm@11`. It used to install a second copy of pnpm that the Homebrew one kept shadowing [#&#8203;16547](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16547). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr>

pnpm 12.9 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.8.2...v12.9.0) This release runs pnpm in StackBlitz WebContainers, adds a per-registry `networkConcurrency` setting, and records every installed project in the store. It also carries a security fix for `pnpm login`. ##### Minor Changes - pnpm now automatically uses WebAssembly in StackBlitz WebContainers, including when installation scripts are disabled. Native installations continue to use the native executable when installation scripts are enabled. - A `registries` entry can now set `networkConcurrency`, the most requests pnpm keeps in flight to that registry's origin. Requests to other registries keep the overall limit. The setting may live in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` or the global `config.yaml`. ```yaml registries: https://npm.corp.example.com/: scopes: ["@acme"] networkConcurrency: 4 ``` - `pnpm install` now records every project it installs in the store's `projects` directory, as a symlink to the project directory. A `--frozen-store` install without the global virtual store still records nothing. Only projects that used the global virtual store were recorded before [#&#8203;6929](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6929). ##### Patch Changes - `pnpm login` no longer forwards credentials in its request body to another origin during redirects. ##### Installing packages - Fixed `pnpm install` failing on Android with `ERR_PNPM_STORE_DIR_ACQUIRE_OPERATION_LOCK` [#&#8203;16508](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16508). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` again succeeds when a workspace project recorded in `pnpm-lock.yaml` has no directory, such as a project left out of a Docker build context. It still fails if the project's directory exists without a `package.json` [#&#8203;16453](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16453). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer requires a `pnpm-lock.yaml` in a project that has no dependencies. It also succeeds when `pnpm-lock.yaml` records only the pinned pnpm version, as other commands write it when they run before the first install [#&#8203;16477](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16477). - Fixed `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejecting a fresh lockfile when an injected workspace dependency has an optional peer supplied by another workspace project [#&#8203;16428](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16428). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, a filtered install now keeps the packages of the workspace projects an earlier install put in `node_modules`. This also covers the install that `pnpm --filter <selector> run` and `pnpm --filter <selector> exec` start before the command. Before, these installs removed every package that only the unselected projects needed [#&#8203;16483](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16483). - `pnpm install` with `nodeLinker: hoisted` now refreshes directories supplied by custom fetchers when reinstalling. pnpm also keeps the symlinks inside those directories. - With `enableGlobalVirtualStore` on, scripts can run entry points that a CommonJS require hook loads again, such as `ts-node index.ts`. They failed with `ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION` on Node.js versions without built-in TypeScript support [#&#8203;16436](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16436). - pnpm now keeps each project's current lockfile and hidden hoisted dependencies in its own `node_modules/.pnpm` when `virtualStoreDir` points at a shared global virtual store. `--virtual-store-dir` now sets the global virtual store's location too [pnpm/tasks#47](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/47). - `pnpm clean` no longer deletes the project when `virtualStoreDir` or `globalVirtualStoreDir` is set to the project directory. It also leaves a directory outside the project alone when the setting reaches it through a symlink. It now removes a global virtual store that `globalVirtualStoreDir` places inside the project, as it does for `virtualStoreDir`. ##### Optional dependencies - `pnpm install` no longer fails when a dependency of an optional dependency is missing from the registry. Like npm, pnpm now leaves out the nearest optional dependency above it, together with its subtree [#&#8203;16511](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16511). - When an optional dependency fails to build, pnpm now removes its link from `node_modules`. A repeat `pnpm install` then reports "Already up to date" and no longer reruns the failing build [#&#8203;16468](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16468). - `pnpm install` now prints a warning with the error when an optional dependency cannot be fetched and is skipped. The skipped package is no longer counted in the `Packages: +N` summary. The `pnpm:skipped-optional-dependency` log reports the skip with the `fetch_failure` reason [#&#8203;16514](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16514). ##### Resolving dependencies - Fixed `pnpm install` changing an unchanged project's direct dependency to a sibling workspace's pinned version when its dependency tree contains a cycle [#&#8203;16417](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16417). - With `autoDedupe` enabled, downgrading a dependency in one workspace project now moves the other projects to that version when it satisfies their ranges. This also applies to a filtered `pnpm --filter <project> add` [#&#8203;16432](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16432). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm dedupe` now move an optional peer to the version already in the dependency graph when no other package provides its locked version anymore. After a bump such as `vue` 3.5.40 to 3.5.43, the lockfile kept a second copy of `@vue/server-renderer` for `@vue/test-utils` [#&#8203;16443](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16443). - `pnpm dedupe --check` no longer fails right after `pnpm install` when a project's optional peer is satisfied by a package another workspace project installs. `pnpm dedupe` now picks the same versions for that package's dependencies as `pnpm install` [#&#8203;16447](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16447). - `pnpm install` no longer re-resolves an up-to-date lockfile on every run when a patched package is a peer in a peer cycle [#&#8203;16418](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16418). - With `autoDedupe` enabled, `pnpm install --lockfile-only` no longer resolves the dependency graph again when nothing changed since an earlier `--lockfile-only` install deduplicated the lockfile. Such an install keeps the lockfile even if versions were published since it was written, or if only a setting such as `resolutionMode` changed. Run `pnpm dedupe` to apply such a change [#&#8203;16458](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16458). ##### Speed and network - A repeat `pnpm install` in a large workspace reports "Already up to date" faster [#&#8203;16487](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16487). - Sped up dependency resolution of workspaces with many peer dependencies. - `pnpm install` sends fewer registry metadata requests when the lockfile already decides which version a range resolves to. This now also covers ranges that several locked versions satisfy when one of them outranks the others, and direct dependencies kept at their locked version. Packages that `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` lists without a version now reuse cached registry metadata the same way they do when `minimumReleaseAge` is not set [#&#8203;16458](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16458). - pnpm no longer downloads every packument again on each install from a registry whose metadata responses forbid caching, such as `Cache-Control: no-store`. pnpm revalidates the cached metadata with a conditional request, so a registry that supports conditional requests answers with a 304 when the package has not changed [#&#8203;16528](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16528). - Cached metadata for a package published within `minimumReleaseAge` is now revalidated with its ETag, so the npm registry can answer `304 Not Modified`. Before, the next install that checked the cache downloaded the whole document again [#&#8203;16506](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16506). - A fetch timeout while other downloads from the same host are still running now lowers concurrency for that host to one connection. Retries of that request, and later downloads from that host, use the lower concurrency. Other hosts keep the configured concurrency [#&#8203;12791](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12791). - Sped up `pnpm install --offline` when the version a range picks is not in the store. While it looks for a version the store holds, pnpm now reads only the versions the range admits [#&#8203;16495](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16495). - `pnpm install --offline` now reuses config dependency tarballs that are already present in the store [pnpm/tasks#46](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/46). ##### Running scripts - `pnpm -s <script>` runs the script again, with `-s` meaning `--sequential` as it does for `pnpm run -s <script>`. pnpm rejected it with "unexpected argument '-s' found" [#&#8203;16446](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16446). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` now warn and run the command when the install that `verifyDepsBeforeRun` starts fails. This lets scripts run in sandboxes where pnpm cannot install, such as containers with a read-only store or no network [#&#8203;15173](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15173). - A filtered `pnpm run` or `pnpm exec` now finds dependencies out of date when a workspace dependency of a selected project has no `node_modules` directory, as after a filtered install. With `verifyDepsBeforeRun: install`, pnpm installs that dependency before running the command [pnpm/tasks#45](https://github.com/pnpm/tasks/issues/45). - Scripts run without a terminal no longer start a second `sh` each. One watchdog per pnpm command now ends every script's process group if pnpm is killed, so `pnpm -r run` across many projects starts half as many processes [#&#8203;16489](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16489). - `Terminate batch job (Y/N)?` no longer appears after pressing Ctrl+C in a script started with `pnpm` from PowerShell or cmd on Windows [#&#8203;16502](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16502). - `pnpm rebuild` and `pnpm approve-builds` refresh command launchers when a build changes a command's interpreter or replaces it with a native executable. Dependent packages' build scripts use the refreshed launchers. - When `pnpm run <script>` or `pnpm <script>` finds nothing to run and `--filter` follows the script name, the error now suggests putting the filter option before the script name [#&#8203;4655](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4655). - Package-name filters now support `?` to match one character [#&#8203;2817](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2817). ##### The pinned pnpm and `pnpm self-update` - pnpm no longer downloads the project's pinned pnpm version again on every command when `nodeVersion` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` names a different Node.js major than the `node` on `PATH`. Before, each of those commands took about a second longer and failed without network access [#&#8203;16497](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16497). - Several `pnpm` commands started at once in a project that pins `packageManager` no longer fail with `The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process` on Windows while the pinned pnpm is being installed. - pnpm can now switch to a `packageManager` version below 11 on x64 musl Linux, such as Alpine [#&#8203;16467](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16467). - A `devEngines.packageManager` range no longer makes pnpm replace the version recorded in `pnpm-lock.yaml` with the running pnpm while the recorded version still satisfies the range. When pnpm does record a version, it records the running pnpm only if it meets `minimumReleaseAge`. Otherwise it records the newest version in the range that meets it, or the running pnpm if none does [#&#8203;16431](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16431). - On Windows, `pnpm self-update` now replaces a `pnpm.exe` left in `PNPM_HOME` or in `PNPM_HOME\bin`. Windows ran that executable in place of the updated `pnpm.cmd` shim, so `pnpm --version` kept printing the old version after a successful update. If the executable was in `PNPM_HOME`, `self-update` now asks you to run `pnpm setup` [#&#8203;9094](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9094). - `pnpm self-update` now checks that a version installed as the JavaScript `pnpm` can start before making it the global `pnpm`. If Node.js is missing, the update fails and the current `pnpm` stays in place. ##### Other commands - `pnpm deploy` now finds patches and local dependencies when the target directory sits under a symlink, such as `/tmp` on macOS. It failed with `ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NOT_FOUND` [#&#8203;16470](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16470). - `pnpm deploy --legacy` now resolves the deployed project's relative `file:`, `link:`, and path dependencies from the project's own directory [#&#8203;16475](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16475). - `pnpm update --global` now removes hard-linked executables from `PNPM_HOME` when migrating packages from the old global layout [#&#8203;16420](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16420). - `pnpm store prune` no longer fails on store index entries that pnpm 11 wrote for git-hosted packages without a `package.json`. Entries that still cannot be read are kept and counted in the prune summary. - `pnpm store prune` now aborts when an error other than a missing directory occurs while scanning project directories in the mark phase. - `pnpm config get` and `pnpm config list` now report a setting given on the command line with `--config.<name>=<value>`. Before, a value such as `--config.node-linker=hoisted` reached the install but was absent from the reported configuration [#&#8203;16276](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16276). - `pnpm -r pkg get` now reports every selected project when several share a package name. Projects with the same name are keyed by their directory relative to the workspace root. Before, only one of them appeared in the output. - The install summary shows a `link:` dependency as `+ name <- path`, and the Node.js API's `hideLinkedPkgsDiff` reporter option leaves matching linked dependencies out of the summary. - The `--force` help text of `pnpm install` and `pnpm add` now says that `--force` keeps skipping optional dependencies built for other platforms. It points to `forceIgnoresPlatform` and the `--os`, `--cpu`, and `--libc` options for installing them [#&#8203;16435](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16435). - The `homepage` field of the published `pnpm` package points to <https://pnpm.io> again. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.8.2 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.8.1...v12.8.2) pnpm 12.8.2 fixes a startup crash on Linux ppc64le and `UnknownIssuer` errors on systems without CA certificates. `pnpm run` no longer installs before every script on CI when `autoDedupe` is enabled, and resolution and hoisted installs on macOS are faster. ##### Patch Changes ##### Platforms and environments - Fixed pnpm crashing on startup on Linux ppc64le [#&#8203;16380](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16380). - Fixed installs failing with `UnknownIssuer` on Linux systems without CA certificates, such as `node:24-slim`, when `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` is set. The extra certificates now extend the bundled CA roots [#&#8203;16365](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16365). - pnpm now creates its store operation locks and other per-user lock files in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` when it points to a directory only the user can write to. Otherwise, pnpm still uses `/tmp` on Linux and macOS. Sandboxes that block writes to `/tmp` can point `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` at a writable directory [#&#8203;16390](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16390). - POSIX bin shims and the `pnpm`, `pn`, `pnpx`, and `pnx` launchers now run inside a Nix build, where the system default path holds none of the utilities they call. Installing again replaces the shims already in `node_modules` [#&#8203;16377](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16377). - In a project that pins another pnpm version, pnpm now passes a command with an option it does not know to the pinned version. Before, pnpm rejected the option before switching, so `pnpm install --auto-dedupe` failed with "Unknown option" even though the pinned pnpm supports it [#&#8203;16353](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16353). ##### Installing and resolving dependencies - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now fails when `Cargo.lock` does not satisfy a dependency requirement in `Cargo.toml`. The error names the crate and the version the lockfile holds [#&#8203;16355](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16355). - `pnpm install` returns "Already up to date" again in a workspace with injected workspace dependencies and a shared lockfile. Since 12.7.0 every repeat install in such a workspace ran the full install and copied the injected projects again. - With `injectWorkspacePackages: true`, a fresh `pnpm install` now records a workspace dependency as `link:` when its injected copy differs from the project only by an optional peer that peer-dependent dedupe merges. It was recorded as a peer-suffixed `file:` copy [#&#8203;16354](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16354). - `pnpm dedupe --check` now passes right after `pnpm dedupe` when deduplication merges variants of a package that differ only in their peers. A lockfile key whose peer suffix named a merged variant now names the variant that replaced it [#&#8203;16356](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16356). - When `minimumReleaseAge` hides the version that `latest` points to, pnpm now falls back to a prerelease of the same major before a stable version of an older major. A stable version of the same major is still preferred. Before, while a new `1.0.0` was too new, `latest` fell back to an old `0.0.1` even though `1.0.0-beta.4` had been `latest` until then [#&#8203;16388](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16388). - Git-hosted dependencies now respect `pmOnFail`. If it is set to anything other than `download`, a git-hosted dependency that pins a pnpm version is prepared by the running pnpm, and pnpm does not download the pinned version [#&#8203;16376](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16376). - pnpmfile hooks such as `readPackage` now run once for a dependency that several packages request at the same time. They could run twice for it before. - `childConcurrency` now defaults to 5, the documented value. It used to be capped at 4 and to follow the host's CPU count. ##### Running scripts - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` no longer install dependencies before every script on CI when `autoDedupe` is enabled. `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now keeps the deduplication record left by an earlier install [#&#8203;16374](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16374). - On macOS and Linux, lifecycle scripts and `pnpm run` now always get `PATH` from the `PATH` variable. When the environment also held a `Path` variable, a script sometimes got `Path`'s value, and failed with `node: not found` [#&#8203;16308](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16308). - `pnpm run` now exits after a `SIGTERM` in a container where pnpm is PID 1 and the script runs pnpm again, as `"start": "pnpm serve"` does. Since 12.6.0 it kept waiting after the script had shut down, until the container runtime killed it. ##### Other commands and settings - `pnpm config get globalShims`, `pnpm shim list`, and global installs no longer read `globalShims` from a project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. Only the global config file, the pnpm home's own `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, and `PNPM_CONFIG_GLOBAL_SHIMS` set it, so a repository cannot choose which globally installed packages get project-aware shims. - `pnpm config set --location=project` refuses a machine-level setting such as `stateDir` or `scope` with `ERR_PNPM_CONFIG_SET_NOT_A_PROJECT_SETTING`, which names where the setting belongs. `pnpm config delete` still clears such a key from a project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. - `pnpm deploy` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_DEPLOY_AMBIGUOUS_PEER` in a workspace with `injectWorkspacePackages: true` when a workspace package lists its peer dependency as a dev dependency too [#&#8203;16375](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16375). - `pnpm deploy` no longer copies the workspace root's `packageManager` and `devEngines.packageManager` fields into the deployed `package.json` [#&#8203;16403](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16403). - `pnpm publish` now includes bare `README` files and README files with Markdown extensions such as `readme.markdown` in registry metadata [#&#8203;12704](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12704). - `pnpm store prune` now removes the packages that only expired `pnpm dlx` cache entries used. They were left in the store until the next `pnpm store prune` [#&#8203;16383](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/discussions/16383). ##### Performance - Sped up dependency resolution in large workspaces, and when many dependencies request different ranges of the same package. Resolution also uses less memory. - Sped up `pnpm install` with `nodeLinker: hoisted` on macOS when the lockfile is re-resolved, such as with `autoDedupe` enabled [#&#8203;16397](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16397). - Sped up extracting package tarballs. - `pnpm install` without `--frozen-lockfile` is faster on some machines in projects with a `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. Those installs linked with one worker thread per core, half of what a frozen install uses. - On Windows, warm `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` runs are 4-5% faster on 4- and 8-core machines. pnpm now links with one worker thread per core on Windows, between 4 and 16. This changes frozen installs and installs in projects without a `pnpm-workspace.yaml` on machines with 3 to 15 cores. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center"

pnpm 12.8.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/pnpm@12.8.0...v12.8.1) pnpm 12.8.1 fixes `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejecting lockfiles with injected workspace packages that have peers, restores the executable bit on files of local directory dependencies, makes `pnpm dedupe` converge, and uses less CPU on many-core machines. ##### Patch Changes - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer rejects a freshly generated lockfile when an injected workspace package has peer dependencies [#&#8203;16332](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16332). - Executable files in a `file:` directory dependency or an injected workspace package keep their executable bit again. Since 12.8.0, pnpm installed these files without the permissions they have in their project. - `pnpm dedupe` now reaches a stable lockfile when a package's peer suffix is long enough to be hashed. Before, each run could switch that package's key between the hashed and the spelled-out suffix, so `pnpm dedupe --check` always failed [#&#8203;16331](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16331). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, the default in CI, now uses less CPU on machines with more than 8 cores. Warm installs on many-core Windows machines got up to 10% faster. Frozen installs now link with at most 16 worker threads. - `verifyDepsBeforeRun` no longer reports dependencies as outdated after a filtered install just because `pnpm-lock.yaml` has a newer modification time. It checks the lockfile against the packages that install put in place. Before, `pnpm run` reinstalled the whole workspace with lifecycle scripts on, for example after a Docker `COPY` brought in a lockfile with a newer mtime [#&#8203;16322](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16322). After a filtered install, `verifyDepsBeforeRun` now also checks that the install put the selected projects' dependencies in place. A `node_modules` directory alone no longer counts as proof. - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` no longer install a project that has never been installed and has nothing to install. Such a project declares no dependencies, no peer dependencies that `autoInstallPeers` would fetch, and no install lifecycle scripts. The command now runs without writing `node_modules` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` [#&#8203;16313](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16313). - `pnpm update -g --latest` now upgrades globally installed packages beyond their saved version ranges [#&#8203;16320](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16320). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.8 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.7.0...pnpm@12.8.0) pnpm 12.8.0 warns when `pnpm pack` or `pnpm publish` would ship a `.env` file that `files` does not list, installs `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false` workspaces concurrently, applies every setting passed as `--config.<name>=<value>`, and no longer leaves the Windows terminal stuck after Ctrl+C in a script. ##### Minor Changes - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` now warn when the tarball includes a `.env` or `.env.*` file that the `files` field of `package.json` does not list. Templates such as `.env.example` are not reported. List the file in `files` to publish it on purpose, or exclude it in `.npmignore` or `.gitignore` [#&#8203;7826](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7826). - `pnpm pack` now honors `--silent`, `--reporter=silent`, and `--loglevel=silent` to hide the tarball contents and summary. With `--json`, lifecycle script output and the final JSON output remain visible [#&#8203;10297](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10297). ##### Patch Changes ##### Installing packages - Installing through a `pnpr` server now records the pnpmfile checksum in the lockfile, so a later `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` accepts that lockfile [#&#8203;14460](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14460). A frozen install through the pnpr server now fails if the pnpmfile changed. If the pnpmfile defines a `readPackage`, `afterAllResolved` or `preResolution` hook or custom resolvers, pnpm resolves dependencies locally and prints a warning that the pnpr server was not used. Installing through a `pnpr` server also links a workspace project at the directory its `publishConfig.directory` names. A server that does not forward the setting makes the install fail with `ERR_PNPM_PNPR_PUBLISH_DIRECTORY_MISMATCH`, so pnpm never writes a lockfile that points at the wrong directory. The server rejects a `publishConfig.directory` that points outside its project. - Installing a git-hosted dependency that has to be built no longer fails when that dependency's own dependencies have build scripts nobody approved. pnpm skips those builds while preparing the dependency, as it does without `strictDepBuilds` [#&#8203;9764](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9764). - A git-hosted dependency that is a pnpm workspace with no committed lockfile is now detected as a pnpm project [#&#8203;14011](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14011). - `pnpm install --dev` and `pnpm fetch --dev` now install the optional dependencies of devDependencies, such as the platform binaries of Biome and oxlint. The project's own `optionalDependencies` are still skipped [#&#8203;9678](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9678). - `pnpm install --offline` and `pnpm add --offline` now resolve a version range to the newest matching version whose tarball is already in the store. They used to pick the newest version in the cached metadata and fail with `ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_TARBALL` when its tarball was missing [#&#8203;10715](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10715). - If an offline install fails because the registry metadata cache uses the layout from before pnpm 11.27 and 12.4, the error now names the older mirror on disk and explains that one online install repopulates the cache. The error also carries the `ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META` code. `pnpm cache prune --help` now says that pnpm 11.26 and earlier, and pnpm 12.3 and earlier, depend on the directories it removes [#&#8203;15656](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15656). - Running `pnpm install` now refreshes dependencies when a package declared with a local `file:` directory changes its dependencies [#&#8203;4623](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4623). - A repeat `pnpm install` now keeps its fast up-to-date check when an override replaces a declared local `file:` dependency [#&#8203;12892](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12892). - `pnpm install` now removes an optional dependency from `node_modules` if its install script fails. Code that checks whether the package is installed no longer finds a package that cannot load [#&#8203;8756](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8756). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `pnpm install` now restores a workspace project's `node_modules` after it was deleted. Before, the install printed "Already up to date" and left the project without the dependencies nested under it. On Windows, the install also no longer fails with "Access is denied" when another project's copy of a shared dependency links to the deleted directory. - Under `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `pnpm install` now clears orphaned package directories that an interrupted or failed install leaves in a project's `node_modules`. A directory recorded by the previous install is removed, while an unrecorded directory is moved to `node_modules/.ignored`. A copy already in `.ignored` is never overwritten [#&#8203;13676](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13676). - Concurrent installs no longer fail when they replace the same stale hoisted dependency link. Virtual store cleanup now keeps the temporary lockfiles that concurrent installs write. ##### Resolving and linking dependencies - `pnpm install` no longer aborts on a failed allocation of many gigabytes when peer dependency ranges combine overlapping `||` alternatives [#&#8203;15867](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15867). - `pnpm install` no longer fails when a package from the registry declares a `file:` dependency on a directory inside itself, such as `"@types/css-tree": "file:./typings/css-tree"`. pnpm links that dependency to the directory inside the package, as npm and Yarn do. The lockfile records it as `link:<root>/typings/css-tree` [#&#8203;9141](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9141). - An `npm:` alias written by `overrides` now stays in place when a change elsewhere makes pnpm re-resolve the aliased dependency. Before, pnpm could look up the alias name at the aliased version, which failed with `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION` or locked an unrelated package [#&#8203;16309](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16309). - A peer dependency no longer resolves to two different versions for one package. This happened when the package peer-depends on another package and on one of that package's peers, and it is installed deeper than a direct dependency of the package that provides them [#&#8203;12098](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12098). - An optional peer dependency is no longer resolved from another workspace project's package when the project provides one of that package's own peers at a version it rejects. This avoids bogus unmet peer errors [#&#8203;13989](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13989). - `pnpm dedupe` no longer changes the lockfile on every run when a nested peer dependency is provided through an npm alias [#&#8203;15709](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15709). - With `resolutionMode: time-based` and `minimumReleaseAge` both set, `pnpm install` no longer reports a subdependency as too new when only the time-based cutoff excludes it. Such subdependencies used to fail a strict install with `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION`, or were added to `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` [#&#8203;13569](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13569). A transitive dependency that has no matching version published before the time-based cutoff now resolves to the lowest matching version allowed by `minimumReleaseAge`. pnpm picks a version younger than `minimumReleaseAge` only if no older version matches [#&#8203;16298](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16298). - `pnpm install` retries registry metadata fetches that fail with a timeout, a dropped connection, or an interrupted response body before it applies `trustPolicy` or `minimumReleaseAge`. A transient fetch failure is not reported as `TRUST_DOWNGRADE` or `MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION` [#&#8203;12031](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12031). - pnpm's built-in package compatibility database no longer applies to a project's own manifest. A project named like a published package, such as `vue-loader`, no longer gains dependencies on `pnpm install` or `pnpm update`. User-configured `packageExtensions` still apply to project manifests [#&#8203;11700](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11700). - Packages in an external `virtualStoreDir` can resolve the project's direct dependencies selected by `hoistPattern`. Run `pnpm install --force` to repair an existing installation [#&#8203;5652](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5652). - `pnpm install` now links the executables of auto-installed peer dependencies into the workspace root's `node_modules/.bin`, including after a frozen-lockfile reinstall [#&#8203;8511](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8511). ##### Lockfiles and frozen installs - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now works on a detached HEAD when `gitBranchLockfile` is enabled. The install reads the lockfiles of the local and remote-tracking branches that contain the checked-out commit. It still writes the shared `pnpm-lock.yaml` [#&#8203;7672](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7672). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now accepts a lockfile that has no importer entry for a workspace package without dependencies. Such a package added after the lockfile was written made the install fail with `ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_NO_IMPORTER` [#&#8203;15875](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15875). - `pnpm install` now fails with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY` when an importer references a dependency version that has no snapshot entry. Before, the install succeeded and left a `node_modules` symlink pointing at a missing virtual-store directory [#&#8203;14764](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14764). - `pnpm install` on CI now fails on an outdated lockfile when `preferFrozenLockfile` is explicitly set to `true`. Setting it to `true` used to let CI update the lockfile [#&#8203;9072](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/9072). - With `gitBranchLockfile` enabled, each emoji or other character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane in a branch name now becomes `!!` in the lockfile name. Before, each such character became one `!`. ##### Workspaces and filtering - `pnpm install` in a workspace with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false` now installs projects concurrently, up to `workspaceConcurrency` at a time [#&#8203;14480](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14480). A project is resolved, fetched, and written to its virtual store without waiting for the workspace projects it depends on. It waits for them only before it links its dependencies and runs its lifecycle scripts, so its scripts still run after theirs. A project with a `preinstall` or `pnpm:devPreinstall` script, or with an injected or `file:` workspace dependency, waits for its workspace dependencies before it starts. The installs of the projects also share their package metadata, lockfile verification, and store caches, so they use less CPU and memory when several projects depend on the same packages. An install with a pnpmfile no longer starts an extra Node.js process when the pnpmfile has no `preResolution` hook. - With `enableGlobalVirtualStore` and `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`, each project now keeps its current lockfile and its hidden hoisted dependencies in its own `node_modules/.pnpm`. Before, every project wrote them to the workspace root's `node_modules/.pnpm`, so each repeat install treated the other projects' packages as its own and relinked them [#&#8203;14480](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14480). - `pnpm rebuild`, `pnpm approve-builds`, and `pnpm ignored-builds` now work on the current project's `node_modules` when they run inside a project of a workspace with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`. They used to read the workspace root's `node_modules`, so `pnpm rebuild` did not rebuild the project's dependencies and created a second virtual store at the workspace root [#&#8203;9402](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9402). - `pnpm install` no longer creates a `node_modules` symlink inside the `publishConfig.directory` of a workspace package linked with `linkDirectory`. A build tool that cleaned its output directory through that symlink deleted the files of the package's dependencies. `pnpm install` also removes a symlink that an earlier install left there [#&#8203;16226](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16226). It also no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_CMD_SHIM_RESOLVE_PATH` when such a package has a `bin` field and its `publishConfig.directory` does not exist yet. - `pnpm install` no longer fails for an injected workspace dependency whose package publishes from a `publishConfig.directory` that its own `prepare` script builds. The injected copy now picks up that directory once `prepare` finishes building it. `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer reports the dependency as outdated while the directory has not been built yet [#&#8203;7811](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7811). - An in-place edit to the source of an injected workspace package now shows up in its injected copy, unless a build writes to that package or `packageImportMethod` is set. pnpm hardlinks such packages under the default import method [#&#8203;4410](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4410). Scripts listed in `syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts` now update injected dependencies while they run, so a watcher on the injected package, such as a dev server, sees each change before the script exits. - With `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`, an injected workspace package that has lifecycle scripts is now hard linked into the projects that depend on it. Before, pnpm left a plain copy, so later edits to the package did not reach those projects [#&#8203;9828](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9828). - `injectWorkspacePackages` now hard links a workspace dependency declared with a relative path, such as `workspace:../foo`, the same way it already does for `workspace:*` [#&#8203;10446](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10446). - Workspace discovery prunes dot-prefixed directories, so a `packages` pattern such as `**` no longer matches projects inside `.cache` and other hidden directories [#&#8203;16250](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16250). - `pnpm import` in a workspace now keeps the versions pinned by a `yarn.lock` inside a workspace project [#&#8203;4385](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4385). ##### Store and caches - Files imported from the store now follow the umask of the install that writes them. Installing with a umask of `077` no longer leaves imported files readable by the group and others [#&#8203;3807](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3807). - `pnpm install` keeps the owner, group, and mode of files already in a shared store, including `index.db`. New store files and directories inherit the store directory's group-write bit. When that directory is setgid, new files inherit its group. pnpm does not change a file's owner or group [#&#8203;12765](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12765). - When `pnpm install` repairs a store file that was modified through a hard link in `node_modules`, the repair now keeps the file's inode on Linux and macOS, so hard-linked copies in other projects are healed at the same time. On Windows the repair still replaces the file, so other projects are healed on their next install [#&#8203;3445](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3445). - `pnpm install` now reports a full store at once when writing package files fails. It no longer retries the tarball [#&#8203;8581](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8581). - pnpm now warns when it cannot hard link packages from an existing store in the pnpm home directory and falls back to a store on the project's filesystem. This can happen when the project is on another filesystem, such as a bind-mounted workspace in a container. The warning names both stores and suggests setting `storeDir` [#&#8203;14505](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14505). - The side-effects cache now restores the symlinks that a build script creates inside a package. A warm install used to replace each of them with a copy of its target [#&#8203;12859](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12859). After upgrading, every package with a build script is built once more. - The global virtual store and the side-effects cache now key built packages by the Node.js version that the root project's `devEngines.runtime` or `engines.runtime` pins. That is the Node.js their build scripts run with. A dependency that declares its own `engines.runtime` no longer changes the key for every other package. - With `enableGlobalVirtualStore`, an install into a fresh `node_modules` no longer runs the build scripts of a dependency whose global virtual store slot an earlier install already built. `pnpm rebuild` still runs them [#&#8203;14480](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14480). - Concurrent installs that share a global virtual store now run a package's build in its shared slot one at a time. A failed build leaves the slot in place and marks it for the next install to rebuild [#&#8203;15568](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15568). - A warm `pnpm install` reuses on-disk package metadata for five minutes when the registry does not send an ETag. Registries that send an ETag, including the public npm registry, still revalidate with a conditional request. `pnpm update` still fetches current metadata [#&#8203;13976](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13976). - pnpm no longer revalidates cached registry metadata when the registry sends `Cache-Control: max-age=0`, `no-cache`, or `no-store`. It downloads the metadata again, so a version newly published to such a registry is visible on the next install [#&#8203;13487](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13487). - `pnpm install` honors `Cache-Control` for dependencies named with an `http:` or `https:` tarball URL. A fresh response is taken from the store with no request, and a stale one is revalidated with `If-None-Match` [#&#8203;15648](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15648). ##### Patched dependencies - `pnpm install` now repairs a `pnpm-lock.yaml` whose `(patch_hash=<hash>)` dependency paths disagree with its `patchedDependencies` map, including paths that lack the hash their patch calls for. Before, pnpm accepted such a lockfile as up to date and kept the old patched files. `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now fails on such a lockfile with `ERR_PNPM_INCONSISTENT_PATCH_HASH`. It fails with `ERR_PNPM_UNCHECKABLE_PATCH_HASH` when a patch hash in the lockfile is malformed, or when the lockfile lacks the package version or patch entry that the check needs [#&#8203;15336](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/15336). - `pnpm install` with `nodeLinker: hoisted` now applies a patch once to each copy of a patched dependency in a workspace. Before, a copy that several workspace projects shared could receive the patch twice and end up with the patched content duplicated [#&#8203;7565](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7565). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm fetch` now fail with `ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NOT_FOUND` when a patch file listed in `patchedDependencies` does not exist [#&#8203;5268](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5268). - `engineStrict` now checks the patched `package.json` when a `patchedDependencies` entry changes `engines`. A patch that relaxes `engines.node` no longer fails the install against the published range [#&#8203;9603](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9603). - `pnpm patch` now applies the existing patch file to the edit directory of a git-hosted dependency, as it already does for packages from the registry [#&#8203;9699](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9699). ##### Adding, updating, and removing dependencies - `pnpm add <dir>` now warns when the added directory declares peer dependencies, as `pnpm link` does. The directory is saved as a `link:` dependency, and its peers are not resolved from the project that adds it. Use the `file:` protocol to have them resolved [#&#8203;5523](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5523). - `pnpm add --save-types` no longer adds a `@types/*` package whose resolved version is deprecated. DefinitelyTyped publishes such stubs for packages that ship their own types, such as `@types/typescript` for `typescript` [#&#8203;15636](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15636). - `pnpm version`, `pnpm add`, and `pnpm pkg set` keep JSON5 style when they update `package.json5`. ASCII identifier keys stay unquoted, strings keep JSON5 quotes, and indented files keep trailing commas [#&#8203;15717](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15717). ##### Running scripts and commands - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` no longer install dependencies automatically when the root `package.json` still keeps `overrides`, `packageExtensions`, `patchedDependencies`, or `ignoredOptionalDependencies` in its `pnpm` field. pnpm no longer reads that field, so the install rewrote the lockfile without those settings. The command now fails and asks to move the settings to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;16278](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16278). - When `verifyDepsBeforeRun` triggers an install before a filtered `pnpm run` or `pnpm exec`, pnpm now installs only the selected projects and their dependencies. A later filtered command also installs a selected project that an earlier filtered install skipped [#&#8203;11865](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11865). - `pnpm -r run /regexp/` now honors the `tasks` `dependsOn` declared for each script the selector matches, like running the script by name does. Matched scripts that depend on each other run in order. Each matched script runs once [#&#8203;15596](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15596). - `pnpm run` exits with the code of a script that handles Ctrl+C and shuts down. A script that finished cleanly is not reported as a lifecycle failure. The commands after it in the same script still run [#&#8203;9945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9945). - pnpm no longer hangs after a lifecycle script exits while a process it started in the background keeps the script's output open. pnpm stops reading that output one second after the script exits [#&#8203;5730](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5730). - `pnpm run` and lifecycle scripts use the configured `scriptShell`, including Git Bash on Windows, when `shellEmulator` is also enabled. `shellEmulator` still runs scripts when `scriptShell` is not set. Extra arguments passed to `pnpm run` are quoted for the shell that runs the script, so a Windows path stays intact [#&#8203;14719](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14719). - With `enableGlobalVirtualStore`, dependency build scripts now see the workspace root's `node_modules/.bin`, as they do with a local virtual store. A `postinstall` script that runs `node` finds the Node.js installed by `devEngines.runtime` and no longer fails with "command not found" on machines without a system Node.js [#&#8203;15652](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15652). Dependency build scripts also see the bins of privately hoisted dependencies. - Dependency install scripts now find the node-gyp bundled with pnpm when pnpm runs through a symlink, such as `node_modules/.bin/pnpm` or the `pnpm` that `npm install -g pnpm` links. They used to fail with `node-gyp: command not found` on macOS [#&#8203;15694](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15694). - `pnpm run` and lifecycle scripts now set `npm_config_node_gyp` to the bundled `node-gyp` entry point. Tools that read the variable resolve the same `node-gyp` pnpm builds with. An `npm_config_node_gyp` value the environment already sets is kept as is [#&#8203;16270](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16270). - Scripts now see the `npm_command` environment variable that npm sets. It holds `run-script` when the command runs a script, and the command's own name otherwise [#&#8203;16265](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16265). - Commands run from a POSIX shell through a dependency's own `node_modules/.bin`, such as `node_modules/vite/node_modules/.bin/esbuild`, no longer fail with `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` [#&#8203;10189](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10189). - `pnpx --version` and `pnpm dlx --version` now print the pnpm version. Other unknown options before the command are reported as errors. Before, pnpm tried to download a package named after the option [#&#8203;16259](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16259). - `pnpm dlx` now keeps the virtual store of its cached installs in `node_modules/.pnpm`, like every other install [#&#8203;13955](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13955). `pnpm pack-app` now names the manifest of its runtime install directory `pnpm-pack-app-<target>`. ##### Publishing, packing, and deploying - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` now ship a file that the `files` field names even when another entry excludes the directory holding it. For example, `["**", "!dist", "dist/index.d.ts"]` ships `dist/index.d.ts` [#&#8203;16213](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16213). - `pnpm pack` prunes a directory that a `files` field exclusion names, such as `!**/test`, excluding the directory and its contents from the packed package [#&#8203;15738](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15738). - `pnpm publish` now waits at least 5 minutes for the registry to answer a publish request, like npm. This fixes "409 Conflict - Failed to save packument" errors when the registry is slow to answer [#&#8203;11454](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11454). - `pnpm deploy --prod` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE` when the deployed project declares a `devEngines.runtime` with `onFail: download`. The runtime stays out of the deployed `node_modules` with the rest of the dev dependencies [#&#8203;15703](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15703). - `pnpm deploy` with a shared lockfile now copies workspace dependencies into the deploy directory, even when `packageImportMethod` is set to `hardlink`. Before, their files were hard-linked to the workspace sources, so editing a source file also changed the deployed copy [#&#8203;12176](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12176). - `pnpm deploy --legacy` no longer leaves broken links to nested local dependencies of workspace packages [#&#8203;9575](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9575). ##### Configuration and pnpmfile hooks - Every setting pnpm supports can now be set with `--config.<name>=<value>` on the command line, not only the ones whose command also carries a matching flag. Before, `pnpm install --config.frozen-lockfile=true` dropped the setting and rewrote `pnpm-lock.yaml` as though the install had not been frozen [#&#8203;16276](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16276). - Settings given on the command line, such as `--registry` and `--store-dir`, now take precedence over the values a pnpmfile `updateConfig` hook sets [#&#8203;14063](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14063). - `pnpm config set --location=project` and `pnpm config delete --location=project`, run from a package inside a workspace, now write settings that belong in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to the workspace root's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. Before, they created a new `pnpm-workspace.yaml` in the current package, which made that package the workspace root. Settings stored in `.npmrc` are still written to the current directory [#&#8203;13757](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13757). - pnpm now reads the workspace directory override from `PNPM_CONFIG_WORKSPACE_DIR`, like other settings. `NPM_CONFIG_WORKSPACE_DIR` still works as a fallback [#&#8203;16275](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16275). - pnpm now fails with `ERR_PNPM_AUTH_INVALID_BASE64` when a registry's `_password` in `.npmrc` is not valid base64. Before, it sent the value as the raw password. A `username` or `_password` left empty, for example by an unset environment variable, now supplies no credential [#&#8203;16273](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16273). - `proxy=false` now turns proxying off even when `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, or `ALL_PROXY` is set. pnpm no longer sends requests through a proxy named only in `ALL_PROXY`. - `pnpm install` now runs the install hooks of a config dependency plugin's pnpmfile, including `readPackage`, `afterAllResolved`, and custom resolvers. Its pnpmfile is also counted in `pnpmfileChecksum`. Before, only the plugin's `updateConfig` hook ran, so a plugin could not change the resolved dependencies. - A pnpmfile `fetchers` hook now runs once per package on a fresh install when it handles a resolution with a custom `type` or delegates a git-hosted one to the same subdirectory [#&#8203;15584](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15584). These packages were fetched a second time for installation, so the installed files could come from a different archive than the one their dependencies were read from. The hook also no longer runs twice when a `resolvers` hook returns a tarball resolution without a manifest [#&#8203;15025](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15025). - `pnpm install` now re-fetches a package from a custom resolver when the `integrity` of its resolution changes, with or without `enableGlobalVirtualStore`. It used to update the lockfile but keep the old files in `node_modules` [#&#8203;15670](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15670). - `pnpm install` now rejects invalid results from a `readPackage` hook. A hook that returns a non-object value fails with `ERR_PNPM_BAD_READ_PACKAGE_HOOK_RESULT` [#&#8203;15730](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15730). A hook that sets a dependency range to a value other than a string, such as `undefined`, fails with an error that names the dependency, the package and the pnpmfile. Delete the property to remove a dependency [#&#8203;15705](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15705). ##### Global packages, pnpm versions, and runtimes - `pnpm update --global` now reinstalls the global packages that pnpm 10 installed into the previous global directory, `<global-dir>/5`, so their commands are linked into the pnpm home `bin` directory again and `pnpm list --global` lists them. Once every package is migrated, pnpm deletes the previous directory and the commands pnpm 10 linked into the pnpm home [#&#8203;11528](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11528). - A signal sent to pnpm, such as `SIGTERM`, now reaches the pnpm that pnpm switches to because of `packageManager` or `devEngines.packageManager`, and the one that `pnpm with` runs. The signal used to be dropped, so scripts running under that pnpm never got to shut down [#&#8203;9948](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9948). - On arm64 musl Linux, such as Alpine on ARM, switching to a pinned pnpm older than 12 now runs the JavaScript `pnpm` package. The standalone executable of those versions crashed at startup on that platform [#&#8203;10443](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10443). - Global shims such as `node` now work when pnpm runs through a relative symlink, as with a Homebrew install. They were copies of that symlink and did not resolve from the global bin directory [#&#8203;15691](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15691). - `pnpm env remove --global` deletes Node.js versions that pnpm installed into its own store, including when another tool installed pnpm [#&#8203;8357](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8357). - `pnpm self-update` no longer suggests a downgrade when `minimumReleaseAge` holds back the registry's `latest` release. It now says that release is still within the cutoff [#&#8203;12006](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12006). ##### Windows - Interrupting a script with Ctrl+C on Windows no longer leaves the terminal stuck [#&#8203;14860](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14860). A script that runs through a batch shim, as `vite dev` does through `vite.CMD`, made cmd.exe wait forever on its "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" answer, and every following keystroke went to that prompt. pnpm now ends a cmd.exe script shell once it has sat for a second after the interrupt with nothing running under it. A script that takes longer to shut down is still waited for. A second Ctrl+C ends the script's shell at once. - On Windows, `pnpm run` now passes the arguments after the script name to the script as typed. Before, `cmd` expanded `%VAR%` in them and backslashes arrived doubled. Line breaks still arrive as the two characters `\n`, because `cmd` cannot pass them. The command line pnpm prints for the script quotes the arguments the same way on every platform [#&#8203;16257](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16257). - The Windows `pnpm.exe` runs on a clean Windows install that does not have the Visual C++ Redistributable. It used to exit immediately on startup because that runtime was missing [#&#8203;15723](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15723). - On Windows, the `.cmd` command shims in `node_modules/.bin` now keep a `%` in the project path. Before, cmd.exe expanded it as a variable reference, so the command received a mangled `NODE_PATH` [#&#8203;15716](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15716). Command shims also run tools whose paths contain non-ASCII characters [#&#8203;6999](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6999), including the PowerShell shims in Windows PowerShell 5.1 [#&#8203;16217](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16217). - Bin shims in `node_modules/.bin` run from Cygwin on Windows again. The shims passed a `/cygdrive/c/...` path to the Windows `node` found on `PATH`, so Node.js failed with `Cannot find module 'C:\cygdrive\c\...'` [#&#8203;12845](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12845). - On Windows, installing pnpm with npm inside a project now writes `node_modules/.bin` shims that run `pnpm.exe`. A global install with `npm install --location=global` now gets the same shims as `npm install -g` [#&#8203;15688](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15688). - `pnpm install` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_INVALID_GLOB` on Windows for a wildcard pattern such as `plugins/*/*` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` when the workspace is on a different drive than the pnpm cache or state directory [#&#8203;16239](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16239). - On Windows, `pnpm install` no longer skips a dependency's build script on a later install when the package ships an executable file and the script changes nothing inside the package directory [#&#8203;15667](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15667). - `pnpm setup` no longer writes the `pn.ps1`, `pnpx.ps1`, and `pnx.ps1` PowerShell wrappers. It also removes the ones an earlier setup wrote. PowerShell now runs `pn`, `pnpx`, and `pnx` through their `.cmd` wrappers, like `pnpm` itself. Before, these aliases failed with a "not digitally signed" error wherever the execution policy blocks unsigned scripts [#&#8203;8444](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8444). - `pnpm setup` on Windows no longer panics when an unrelated environment variable has a name containing a non-ASCII character. It skips that variable [#&#8203;15684](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15684). - On Windows, `pnpm setup` repairs the `PNPM_HOME` registry type left by older pnpm versions, even when the configured directory has not changed. - On Windows, the `ERR_PNPM_BAD_ENV_FOUND` error of `pnpm setup` now shows the value `PNPM_HOME` is currently set to. Before, it showed the directory pnpm wanted to set. - On Windows, pnpm expands nested `%VAR%` references in `PNPM_HOME` and the other directory environment variables it uses for its home, store, cache, state, and config directories. pnpm fails with an error when a `%VAR%` reference remains after expansion [#&#8203;13236](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13236). - On Windows, if the global bin directory is not in `PATH` and a `PATH` entry still contains an unexpanded variable such as `%PNPM_HOME%`, the error now names that entry. A variable referenced from the user `Path` must be set to a full path and stored as a plain string (`REG_SZ`) for the entry to expand [#&#8203;5283](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5283). ##### Inspecting dependencies - `pnpm audit` and `pnpm audit signatures` now fail with an error when the lockfile contains unresolvable dependency references [#&#8203;13638](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13638). - `pnpm licenses list` now reports the actual on-disk package locations when using `nodeLinker: hoisted` or `shamefully-hoist: true` [#&#8203;8589](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8589). With `--json`, its `paths` array now includes every installed copy of a package, including hoisted copies and isolated installations with different peer dependencies. - `pnpm root` now prints the configured `modulesDir`. It used to print `node_modules` regardless of the setting. A project's own `modulesDir` from `packageConfigs` is printed too [#&#8203;9113](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9113). ##### Output and messages - With the default and append-only reporters, installs with `--loglevel warn` or `--loglevel error` now print the full output of a failed install script. The output of successful scripts, including the root project's own install hooks, stays hidden. With `--loglevel warn`, pnpm also prints ignored build script warnings. - When a dependency fails to resolve, the error now shows the cause. For example, a Node.js runtime download behind a proxy that re-signs TLS now reports `invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer` [#&#8203;9556](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9556). - When installing a git dependency over SSH fails with `Permission denied (publickey)`, pnpm suggests checking the loaded keys with `ssh-add -l`. Resolving an SSH URL that refuses the key also shows a local HTTPS rewrite that leaves the recorded URL alone [#&#8203;13743](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13743). - Lockfile verification now fails with `ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_URL_MISMATCH`, `ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_REVISION_MISMATCH`, or `ERR_PNPM_MISSING_NAMED_REGISTRY` when every rejected entry failed that check. These failures were reported as the generic `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_RESOLUTION_VERIFICATION`. - The lockfile verification error now suggests relaxing the policy that flagged an entry only if a fresh resolution still fails and you trust the affected packages. Errors from checks that no policy controls, such as a missing tarball integrity, no longer suggest relaxing a policy [#&#8203;14411](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14411). - `pnpm install` no longer prints an extra `Progress:` line after the progress line is marked `done` [#&#8203;16184](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/16184). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody>

pnpm 12.7 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.6.0...v12.7.0) pnpm 12.7.0 ships with `.nvmrc` and `.node-version` support in the global `node` shim, `pnpm install --allow-build`, `pnpm publish --publish-wait-timeout`, and `pnpm-workspace.yaml` created from the `workspaces` field. `pnpm install --force` no longer installs optional dependencies built for other platforms. This release also carries security fixes for bin shims on Nix, for lifecycle scripts of packages in a `storeDir` inside the workspace, and for `userAgent` placeholders in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. ##### Minor Changes - `pnpm install --force` now keeps skipping optional dependencies whose `os`, `cpu` or `libc` do not match the host. It still refetches every package and lifts `engineStrict`. The new `forceIgnoresPlatform` setting restores the previous behaviour, installing optional dependencies of every platform under `--force` [#&#8203;6133](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6133). - The global `node` shim created by pnpm now uses the Node.js version from the nearest `.nvmrc` or `.node-version` file when the project does not declare a Node.js runtime in `devEngines.runtime` or `engines.runtime` [#&#8203;4471](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4471). The nearest directory with a Node.js runtime declaration decides the version. Within one directory, `package.json` takes precedence over `.node-version`, which takes precedence over `.nvmrc`. An `.nvmrc` value that only nvm can act on, such as `system` or a custom alias, is ignored. - `pnpm install` now supports the `--allow-build` option to selectively allow or deny package lifecycle scripts and record them in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;15388](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15388). - Added `pnpm publish --publish-wait-timeout <milliseconds>` to wait for published versions and their tarballs to become available from the registry. Set `publishWaitTimeout` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to configure a default. A value of `0` disables the check. Recursive publishing confirms availability before publishing dependent packages. If confirmation times out, the command fails. When `pnpm publish -r --report-summary` fails after some uploads were accepted, the summary file now lists those packages. - `pnpm install` now creates `pnpm-workspace.yaml` from the `workspaces` field of the root `package.json` when the repository has no `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. The projects the field lists are linked on that same install. An existing `pnpm-workspace.yaml` is never changed. With `--ignore-workspace`, no file is created. If the `workspaces` field later differs from `packages` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, pnpm prints a warning [#&#8203;2255](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2255). - When a project pins a pnpm version or a runtime that another pnpm process is installing at that moment, pnpm now waits a few seconds and then installs and runs a private copy of its own. It used to wait up to five minutes and then use the shared install directory without the lock. The private copy is removed once the command has run. `pnpm store prune` removes any private copy that a killed process left behind [#&#8203;15413](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15413). - pnpm now keeps the blank lines between entries of `package.json` when it updates the file, for example on `pnpm add` [#&#8203;5602](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5602). ##### Patch Changes ##### Security - pnpm no longer expands environment variables in a `userAgent` set in a project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. A `userAgent` with a placeholder in that file is now ignored. Before this fix, pnpm sent the variable's value to the configured registry [#&#8203;15415](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15415). - On Nix, a dependency's bin named like a system utility such as `sed` can no longer redirect a POSIX bin shim or the `pnpm`, `pn`, `pnpx`, and `pnx` launchers. The shims and launchers now ignore `node_modules` and relative `PATH` entries while they locate their own files. Installing again replaces the shims already in `node_modules` [#&#8203;14883](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14883). - pnpm no longer treats manifests inside its store, cache, state, or modules directories as workspace projects. Before, a `storeDir` inside the workspace could let lifecycle scripts of packages in the store run without `allowBuilds` approval [#&#8203;15033](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15033). - Packages that run a lifecycle script are no longer hard-linked into the virtual store, so a build script can no longer rewrite the workspace source of an injected package or the store copy it was imported from [#&#8203;15483](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15483). ##### Installing packages - Fixed `pnpm install`, `pnpm add`, `pnpm remove`, and `pnpm peers check` running out of memory when many packages share a missing peer dependency. This mostly affected projects with `autoInstallPeers: false` [#&#8203;15362](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15362). - pnpm no longer hangs for up to 5 minutes after a pnpm process was killed while setting up the pnpm version pinned in `packageManager` or `devEngines` [#&#8203;15360](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15360), [#&#8203;15393](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15393). The killed process left behind a lock that every later pnpm command in the project waited on. pnpm now detects that the process holding a lock is gone and takes the lock over at once. The same applies to the locks pnpm takes while installing a managed runtime or writing the global bin directory. Two pnpm processes that are both still running keep waiting for each other as before. - Requests to a registry or tarball server whose TLS certificate fails verification now fail at once. Such requests were retried for more than a minute without any output [#&#8203;9134](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9134). - On macOS, pnpm now falls back to its bundled CA roots when system trust evaluation is unavailable, such as in a sandbox or when macOS cannot create an SSL policy for a registry connection. Installs failed or crashed on the first registry request in that case. Custom `ca` certificates are now honored directly [#&#8203;15329](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15329), [#&#8203;14461](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14461). - `pnpm install` now caps concurrent connections to a proxy at 50 sockets by default [#&#8203;15280](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15280). It also immediately retries transient connection resets when downloading package archives. - `pnpm install` now reuses a package already present in the store when an existing lockfile entry satisfies the dependency, avoiding registry requests that fail without authorization [#&#8203;2522](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2522). - Installing or adding dependencies no longer fails when a previously installed local tarball file was deleted from disk [#&#8203;8367](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8367). - `pnpm install` now installs the new version of a local tarball dependency whose file was replaced at the same path [#&#8203;2437](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2437). `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejects such a changed tarball, even when the previous archive contents are in the store [#&#8203;1889](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1889). - `pnpm install` now fetches committed submodules of git dependencies [#&#8203;1470](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1470). - `pnpm install` now applies patches produced by `pnpm patch-commit` when an edit removes the trailing lines of a file along with its newline. The install no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PATCH` ("expected end of hunk") [#&#8203;12451](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12451). - `pnpm install` now preserves existing `node_modules` directories when a cross-device move reports `EXDEV` [#&#8203;14504](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14504). - `pnpm install` no longer fails when writing the workspace state file encounters an error. Failures to update the state file now emit a warning instead of aborting the install [#&#8203;14550](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14550). - Interrupting `pnpm install` with Ctrl+C or SIGTERM no longer leaves a temporary lockfile (`.pnpm-lock.yaml.*.tmp`) behind in the project [#&#8203;1418](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1418). - `pnpm install` now relinks a direct dependency whose link in `node_modules` points to a missing target. Before, it reported "Already up to date" and left the broken link [#&#8203;9758](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9758). - `pnpm install` uses less CPU when it links packages from a warm store. On Windows, a warm install could take several times longer than with pnpm 11 [#&#8203;15439](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15439). - `pnpm install` now runs `node --version` once per run. A workspace whose projects keep their own lockfiles (`sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`) previously ran the probe once or twice for every project, and on macOS the concurrent launches waited on each other, so a project could wait several seconds before its linking started. - A repeat `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` with `nodeLinker: hoisted` in a workspace no longer re-links `node_modules` when nothing changed. - Custom fetcher hooks no longer run a second time during installation when an archive was already fetched during dependency resolution [#&#8203;15025](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15025). - Fixed a package resolved by a `resolvers` pnpmfile hook installing without its own dependencies. This happened when the hook returned no `manifest` and a `fetchers` hook handled the resolution [#&#8203;15552](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15552). - `pnpm install --prod` and other installs that skip `devDependencies` no longer run the `pnpm:devPreinstall` script [#&#8203;7065](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7065). They skip `prepare` lifecycle scripts too, as do installs given package arguments. - `pnpm prune --prod` and production installs now remove devDependencies when `lockfile: false` is configured [#&#8203;2677](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2677). - `pnpm install --prod`, `pnpm fetch --prod` and `pnpm deploy --prod` no longer install a devDependency that is only there to satisfy an optional peer dependency of a production dependency. `pnpm list`, `pnpm why`, `pnpm licenses`, `pnpm sbom` and `pnpm audit` leave it out of `--prod` results too. The same applies to `--dev`. A peer that is not optional is still installed and audited [#&#8203;15344](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15344). - `pnpm install` no longer skips optional dependencies that the Node.js version locked for a `devEngines.runtime` range supports, when the range uses `onFail: download`. An explicitly set `nodeVersion` still takes priority [#&#8203;14628](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14628). - `pnpm fetch` now also installs the pnpm version that `pnpm-lock.yaml` pins, when it differs from the running pnpm. A later `pnpm install --offline` that switches to the pinned version no longer fails because that version is missing from the store [#&#8203;11808](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11808). - A dependency that ships a `binding.gyp` and sets `gypfile: false` no longer gets the `node-gyp rebuild` install script pnpm synthesizes for it. Such a dependency needs no `allowBuilds` entry and is no longer listed under "Ignored build scripts". - `pnpm install` no longer adds `allowBuilds` placeholder entries to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` when it runs in CI or without a terminal. Interactive installs still add them [#&#8203;11574](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11574). - pnpm now detects the same CI environments as pnpm 11, including AWS CodeBuild, which does not set `CI`. On these services `pnpm install` uses a frozen lockfile by default and fails with `ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE` when the lockfile is outdated. ##### Resolving and linking dependencies - Installing through a pnpr server now installs a project's peer dependencies when `autoInstallPeers` is enabled. A project that declared only peer dependencies failed with `ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE` or skipped its peers [#&#8203;14833](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14833). - pnpm now installs a dependency that a package also declares as an optional peer dependency, for example `lightningcss` in some vite builds. The dependency was missing from `node_modules`, so the package failed to import it [#&#8203;8912](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8912). - Removal overrides such as `"parent>peer": "-"` now prevent optional peers from being installed from another workspace package [#&#8203;15008](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15008). - Removing an entry from `overrides` now re-resolves the packages it targeted. A version the override had locked is no longer kept just because the declared range still accepts it [#&#8203;4587](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4587). - `packageExtensions` and `overrides` entries with a ranged selector (such as `@<X` or `@*`) no longer match a dependency that has no `package.json`, such as a local directory dependency [#&#8203;15007](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15007). - Trim leading and trailing whitespace from dependency override selectors in `pnpm.overrides` [#&#8203;6356](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6356). - With `trustPolicy: no-downgrade`, pnpm now resolves the newest matching version that is not a trust downgrade. Previously a dependency failed with `ERR_PNPM_TRUST_DOWNGRADE` even when an older version satisfied its range. `pnpm self-update` picks its target version the same way. A request for an exact version still fails [#&#8203;14176](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14176). - `pnpm install` now re-resolves a dependency when its manifest range is updated from a prerelease to a stable version. The lockfile previously retained the prerelease version and caused `--frozen-lockfile` to fail [#&#8203;15528](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15528). - `pnpm install --ignore-pnpmfile` no longer removes `pnpmfileChecksum` from an up-to-date `pnpm-lock.yaml`. `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-pnpmfile` no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` when the lockfile records a `pnpmfileChecksum`. A command that resolves dependencies with the pnpmfile ignored still writes the lockfile without it [#&#8203;10944](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10944). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm peers check` now use local tarball packages' actual versions when checking peer dependencies. Compatible packages no longer fail with `strictPeerDependencies` enabled. - `pnpm peers check` and the install-time peer dependency check now resolve peer dependencies from the workspace root when `resolvePeersFromWorkspaceRoot` is enabled [#&#8203;14982](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14982). - `autoDedupe` and `pnpm dedupe` now move transitive dependencies to the version a `catalog:` dependency pins, as they already did for versions written directly in `package.json`. Previously they could move those dependencies to a higher version and keep both versions in the lockfile. - `pnpm dedupe` now produces a stable lockfile when a dependency's range matches both a direct dependency and an `npm:` alias of the same package. The dependency resolves to the version of the direct dependency. Repeated runs previously alternated between two lockfiles [#&#8203;15588](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15588). - Merging lockfiles now preserves recorded configuration fields such as `overrides`, `neverBuiltDependencies`, `patchedDependencies`, `packageExtensionsChecksum`, `settings`, and `catalogs` [#&#8203;8366](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8366). - A lockfile entry whose resolution is unchanged now keeps its recorded `deprecated` message [#&#8203;5772](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5772). - pnpm no longer writes a package's legacy array-form `engines`, such as `["node >= 0.8"]`, to the lockfile. It was recorded as an object keyed by index, such as `{'0': node >= 0.8}` [#&#8203;4518](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4518). - Tarball URLs recorded in the lockfile now strip default HTTP and HTTPS ports (`:80` and `:443`) [#&#8203;15539](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15539). - `node_modules/.package-map.json` no longer contains entries that point at directories that do not exist. Such entries appeared for packages installed only with peer dependencies, most visibly with `enableGlobalVirtualStore` [#&#8203;14938](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14938). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `hoistWorkspacePackages` now links each workspace project that `hoistPattern` or `publicHoistPattern` selects into the root `node_modules`, unless a hoisted package or a root dependency already uses its name. The project's bins are linked into the root `node_modules/.bin` [#&#8203;7553](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7553). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `pnpm install` now removes the commands of the packages it removes from `node_modules/.bin`, such as a nested copy deduped into the root `node_modules` [#&#8203;7568](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7568). - `pnpm install` no longer puts a dependency's bin on `PATH` for that dependency's own lifecycle scripts before the bin's file exists. pnpm links such a bin after the dependency's build has run. It also removes such a bin left by an earlier install. This fixes installing the `node` package on Windows [#&#8203;15501](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15501). - Dependencies and executable binaries are now correctly linked and accessible for workspace packages using `publishConfig.directory` and `publishConfig.linkDirectory` [#&#8203;8338](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8338). - Bin linking leaves workspace and linked dependency files outside node_modules unchanged. Already executable bin files no longer receive redundant permission changes. ##### Workspaces and filtering - `pnpm install` now finds workspace projects reached through a symlink, such as a `packages` directory that links to a folder outside the workspace. It installs their dependencies, and the links in their `node_modules` resolve [#&#8203;1044](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1044). - A dependency declared with `catalog:` now counts as a workspace dependency when its catalog entry points at a workspace project, for example `workspace:*` [#&#8203;15587](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15587). With `linkWorkspacePackages` enabled, so does an `npm:` alias of a workspace project, such as `"math-alias": "npm:math@^1.0.0"`. `pnpm -r run` runs that project first. `--filter <pkg>...` selects it. - A `workspace:` dependency now resolves to a workspace project whose version is not valid semver, such as `1` or `1.0`. `workspace:*`, `workspace:^`, and `workspace:~` match it. A range identical to the version also matches it [#&#8203;4567](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4567). - A `workspace:` dependency with an exact version now resolves to a workspace project whose version carries SemVer build metadata. For example, `workspace:0.5.6-next.3` matches a project at `0.5.6-next.3+f60facc` [#&#8203;6483](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6483). - Secondary dependencies now prefer the version resolved by the local project's direct dependencies over versions from sibling workspace projects [#&#8203;7191](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7191). - `pnpm install` now re-resolves a workspace project's auto-installed peer dependency when another workspace project changes its specifier for that package to one that excludes the locked version but still overlaps the peer range. The peer then resolves to the version a fresh install would pick [#&#8203;11800](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11800). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now fails with `ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE` when `pnpm-lock.yaml` lists a workspace project whose directory or manifest file is missing. The install used to report success without installing that project's dependencies [#&#8203;7667](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7667). - `pnpm install -r` now installs every workspace project when `recursiveInstall` is set to `false` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;7504](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7504). - `pnpm install` with `--filter` now installs only the dependencies of the selected projects when using `nodeLinker: hoisted` [#&#8203;8882](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8882). - `pnpm install` now updates an injected workspace dependency after that package's own dependencies change, when `shared-workspace-lockfile` is `false` [#&#8203;7209](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7209). - `pnpm install` now copies the output of a workspace package's own `prepare`, `install`, or `postinstall` script into the injected copies of that package. Before, the injected copies kept only the files that existed before the script ran. `syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts` now also works when `modulesDir` is set [#&#8203;9464](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9464). - `syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts` now copies files into injected dependencies when `node_modules` is on another filesystem than the package sources. The sync previously failed with a cross-device link error and made the script run exit with an error [#&#8203;14703](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14703). - A `modulesDir` with several path segments, such as `www/modules`, now puts each workspace project's dependencies in `<project>/www/modules` on both fresh and frozen installs, and `pnpm bin` prints `<project>/www/modules/.bin` [#&#8203;15484](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15484). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, pnpm now installs the root project's dependencies into a custom `modulesDir` instead of `node_modules`. With a custom `modulesDir`, the virtual store and its `lock.yaml` now default to `<modulesDir>/.pnpm`. - A repeat `pnpm install` in a workspace with a custom `modulesDir` now takes the up-to-date fast path. Before, pnpm looked for each workspace project's dependencies in `node_modules` and ran a full install every time. - pnpm now warns when a workspace install covers a project that has its own `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. The nested file's settings, such as `patchedDependencies`, do not apply when the outer workspace installs that project. pnpm reads settings only from the `pnpm-workspace.yaml` at the workspace root [#&#8203;11724](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11724). - The `[<since>]` filter selector now compares against the commit where the current branch forked from `<since>`. Projects changed only by newer commits on `<since>` are no longer selected. Uncommitted changes are still included. In a shallow clone without that commit, pnpm compares against `<since>` directly, as before [#&#8203;9907](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9907). - `--filter "[<since>]"` now selects workspace packages when dependency versions change in a catalog in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;8718](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8718). It also selects projects that files were moved out of when git detects the move as a rename [#&#8203;15481](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15481). - `--filter` now evaluates selectors in order, so later inclusion filters can re-include packages that an earlier exclusion filter excluded [#&#8203;9354](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9354). ##### Adding, updating, and removing dependencies - `pnpm add` now saves changes to `package.json` before running lifecycle scripts, so a postinstall script failure leaves the added dependency in `package.json` [#&#8203;8627](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8627). - `pnpm add` now saves the requested exact version when adding a dependency, even when the manifest already contains a version range [#&#8203;6040](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6040). - `pnpm add <pkg>@<version>` and `pnpm update <pkg>@<version>` now move the catalog entry onto the named version when the entry's range already covers it. For example, `^7.22.17` becomes `^7.29.6`, the same way `pnpm update <pkg>` moves an entry to the version it resolves [#&#8203;13715](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13715). - `pnpm add` and `pnpm install` keep an empty `peerDependencies`, `dependencies`, `devDependencies`, or `optionalDependencies` field that was already in `package.json`. pnpm still drops such a field when it removes the last entry itself, as `pnpm remove` does [#&#8203;5096](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5096). - `pnpm update` now keeps a version range whose shape has no save prefix, such as `<= 3.0.0` or `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0`, when the updated version still satisfies it. Before, `<= 3.0.0` became `^3.0.0` [#&#8203;6714](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6714). - `pnpm update <pkg>` now moves a package off a locked version the registry no longer serves, such as an unpublished release. The lockfile check for supply-chain policies such as `minimumReleaseAge` used to reject that version before the update could replace it [#&#8203;9953](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9953). - `pnpm update --prod` no longer installs devDependencies when run in a project installed with `--prod` [#&#8203;8038](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8038). - `pnpm update --interactive --workspace` now allows external dependencies to be updated. - `pnpm outdated` and `pnpm update` now apply `minimumReleaseAge` to GitHub Actions. `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` entries match action names such as `actions/checkout` [#&#8203;13923](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13923). - `pnpm remove` now accepts `--trust-lockfile` and `--no-trust-lockfile` to control supply-chain policy checks while removing a package [#&#8203;14406](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14406). - `pnpm unlink` now removes the `link:` dependency that `pnpm link <dir>` added to `package.json`. The linked package is removed from `node_modules` and the lockfile. A `link:` dependency to another directory is kept [#&#8203;4219](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4219). - `pnpm install` now prunes unreferenced catalog entries from `pnpm-workspace.yaml` when `catalogPrune: true` is configured [#&#8203;15273](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15273). - `minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune` and `trustPolicyExcludePrune` now work in workspaces with `shared-workspace-lockfile=false`. Once every project has been installed, pnpm drops an entry only if no project lockfile records it. Undecided `allowBuilds` entries are pruned the same way [#&#8203;14612](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14612). - Exclude entries that pnpm writes to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` now match the file's list indentation and dominant quote style [#&#8203;15571](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15571), [#&#8203;15079](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15079). - `pnpm import` now converts dependencies that use Yarn's `patch:` protocol. The dependency keeps the version it patches, and the patch file is added to `patchedDependencies` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. If the patch file is missing, pnpm prints a warning and imports the dependency without the patch [#&#8203;10278](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10278). - `pnpm import` in a workspace now keeps the versions pinned by the root `yarn.lock`, `package-lock.json`, or `npm-shrinkwrap.json` when another workspace project's range allows a newer version. Before, the root project got the newest version in its range [#&#8203;4385](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4385). - `pnpm patch`, `pnpm patch-commit`, and `pnpm patch-remove` now work in a project of a workspace with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`. `pnpm patch` failed there with `ERR_PNPM_PATCH_NO_LOCKFILE` after a successful install. The reinstall after committing or removing a patch left the project's own `node_modules` unchanged [#&#8203;9926](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9926). - `pnpm patch-commit` now resolves default patch directory locations when passed a package name or package specifier (such as `pnpm patch-commit <pkg>` or `pnpm patch-commit <pkg>@<version>`). - `pnpm patch-commit` now updates the lockfile snapshot and prunes removed dependencies when the patch modifies `package.json` [#&#8203;6866](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6866). - `pnpm patch-commit` now falls back to copying package files when hard linking fails. ##### Running scripts and commands - A script that pnpm runs without a terminal now ends when pnpm itself is killed. Killing pnpm's process group, as Playwright's `webServer` does to stop the command it started, used to leave the script running and holding the caller's output pipes open [#&#8203;15555](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15555). - `pnpm --filter <project> <command>` and `pnpm -r <command>` now run a command installed in the selected projects' dependencies when none of them has a script by that name. This matches `pnpm <command>` in a single project. `pnpm run` with `--filter` or `-r` still reports the missing script [#&#8203;10151](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10151). - `pnpm exec` and `pnpm dlx` now set `npm_execpath`, `INIT_CWD`, `npm_node_execpath`, and `NODE` in child environments when Node.js is available. Stale inherited `NODE` and `npm_node_execpath` variables are cleared when Node.js cannot be found on PATH [#&#8203;7037](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7037). Scripts that `pnpx` and `pnx` run now get pnpm itself as `npm_execpath`. A script that ran `$npm_execpath install` there ran `pnpm dlx install`. - `pnpm exec` now sets the `PWD` environment variable to the directory the command runs in. Shells and tools that read `PWD` now report the logical path of a workspace package reached through a symlink [#&#8203;1550](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1550). - A script that runs `pnpm run` no longer adds duplicate `node_modules/.bin` and `node-gyp-bin` entries to `PATH` [#&#8203;5352](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5352). - Concurrent `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` commands now serialize their dependency installs [#&#8203;14551](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14551). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` with `verifyDepsBeforeRun` now accept a moved project whose store is on the project's volume. Before, the check reported that the workspace structure had changed whenever the default store was not on the home volume. - `verifyDepsBeforeRun` checks now account for project-specific `packageConfigs` overrides in workspaces with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false` [#&#8203;15545](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15545). - `pnpm restart` now runs the "stop" and "start" scripts when the package has no "restart" script. Previously it ran "stop" and then failed with "Missing script: restart" [#&#8203;4750](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4750). - `pnpm dlx` now keeps a separate cache entry for each Node.js major version. A package built under one Node.js major version, such as a native addon, is no longer reused under another [#&#8203;8611](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8611). - `pnpm pipeline` no longer fails when run in a project outside a Git work tree or on a system without `git`. Tasks in those projects run without caching, and pnpm prints a warning explaining why [#&#8203;15601](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15601). - A `runtime:` version range that contains `||` or a space, such as a `devEngines.runtime` version of `^22.18.0 || ^24.0.0`, now installs the requested runtime. pnpm used to install the npm package with the same name, such as `node` [#&#8203;14817](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14817). - When the configured `scriptShell` does not exist, running a script now fails with an error that names the shell. Previously pnpm printed only an exit code or the package directory [#&#8203;7562](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7562). - A script killed by a signal now fails with an error that names the signal, such as `Command failed with signal SIGKILL.` [#&#8203;9821](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9821). ##### Publishing, packing, and deploying - `pnpm publish` now resolves `workspace:` dependencies from workspace manifests when `node_modules` is not installed. Previously, publishing without `node_modules` failed with `ERR_PNPM_CANNOT_RESOLVE_WORKSPACE_PROTOCOL` [#&#8203;6567](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6567). - `pnpm publish` now honors `publishConfig["@scope:registry"]` for a package in that scope. It takes precedence over the registry set for the same scope in `.npmrc` and over `publishConfig.registry` [#&#8203;12071](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12071). - `pnpm pack` and `pnpm publish` now include bundled dependencies when using the isolated linker. This covers workspace packages and the dependencies of each bundled package. Bundled dependencies are also included when `publishConfig.directory` selects a build directory [#&#8203;1643](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/1643). - `pnpm pack`, `pnpm deploy`, and installs of local directory dependencies now keep symlinks that point to files or directories included in the package. `pnpm pack` leaves out symlinks that point outside the package [#&#8203;8208](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8208). - `pnpm pack` now preserves file executable permissions in the packed tarball when source files are executable on disk. - `pnpm publish` and `pnpm pack` now report a missing `version` or `name` field on a workspace dependency. Previously, pnpm reported that the dependency was not installed [#&#8203;4164](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4164). - `pnpm publish` and `pnpm pack` now report an error when a bin script has a shebang line ending with CRLF [#&#8203;7311](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7311). - `pnpm deploy` now copies the `packageManager` and `devEngines.packageManager` fields of the workspace root `package.json` into the deployed `package.json`, unless the deployed project pins a package manager itself [#&#8203;9079](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9079). - `pnpm deploy` now puts the virtual store at `virtualStoreDir`, resolved against the deploy directory. A shared-lockfile deploy records `virtualStoreDir` in the deployed `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. With the global virtual store enabled or an absolute `virtualStoreDir`, the deploy still uses `node_modules/.pnpm` [#&#8203;8787](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8787). - `pnpm deploy` now respects `--package-import-method` passed on the command line and reports the package import method correctly [#&#8203;7593](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7593). - `pnpm deploy` does not run the `prepare` scripts of the deployed project [#&#8203;7282](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7282). - `pnpm deploy --legacy` no longer rewrites the source workspace's `node_modules/.pnpm-workspace-state-v1.json` to describe only the deployed project [#&#8203;15352](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15352). ##### Manifests and configuration files - pnpm now reads and updates `package.json5` project manifests. Manifest updates retain comments, and workspace discovery prefers `package.json`, then `package.json5`, then `package.yaml` [#&#8203;15129](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15129). `pnpm pack` includes exactly one `package.json` in the archive when the project uses an alternative manifest format, even when `.npmignore` or `files` excludes the source file. - Git-hosted dependencies that use a `package.yaml` or `package.json5` manifest now honor its `files` field [#&#8203;7906](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7906). - Fixed `pnpm version` failing on projects using a `package.yaml` manifest. Fixed `pnpm init` creating an extra `package.json` when `package.yaml` is already present. - `pnpm version` now applies pending bumps to private workspace packages. A private package's changelog is written to its committed `CHANGELOG.md`, also when `versioning.changelog.storage` is `registry` [#&#8203;13736](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13736), [#&#8203;13519](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13519). - `pnpm init` now supports the `--bare` option. It creates a `package.json` file with only the required fields [#&#8203;15538](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15538). - The `reporter` setting is now honored when it is configured in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, the global configuration, or the `PNPM_CONFIG_REPORTER` environment variable. Configured `reporter: silent` makes silent output the default. An explicit `--reporter` takes precedence [#&#8203;4879](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/4879). - `.npmrc` and `pnpm-workspace.yaml` files now support npm's `${VAR?}` placeholder. It expands to the value of `VAR`, or to an empty string without a warning when `VAR` is unset [#&#8203;14404](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14404). - pnpm now expands environment variables in `_auth.authToken` values loaded from global `config.yaml` and `pnpm_config__auth`. - pnpm now keeps the configured default registry when `_auth` holds credentials for several registries and some of those registries serve package scopes. Lockfile verification checks a tarball hosted on a scoped registry against that registry's metadata, unless the package's own scope has a registry assigned [#&#8203;15530](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15530). - pnpm now parses the first setting in a `.npmrc` that starts with a UTF-8 byte order mark. Previously, the leading byte order mark caused the first line's key to be ignored [#&#8203;15353](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15353). - pnpm now prints a warning when a `.npmrc`, `auth.ini`, or the file set by `npmrcAuthFile` exists but cannot be read. The settings in such a file were ignored without any message. A `.npmrc` that contains invalid UTF-8 is now read [#&#8203;5065](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5065). - `pnpm config set` and `pnpm config delete` now preserve comments and repeated keys such as `ca=` in `.npmrc` [#&#8203;14851](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14851). - `pnpm login` now logs back in to an existing user on registries without web login, such as verdaccio. The classic login request sends the username and password as basic auth, as `npm login` does [#&#8203;12055](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12055). - Commands that do not use the store no longer create a temporary file in the project directory when they load their settings. These include `pnpm view`, `pnpm config`, `pnpm root`, `pnpm bin`, `pnpm exec`, `pnpm run`, the script shortcuts such as `pnpm test`, and the registry commands such as `pnpm whoami`, `pnpm dist-tag`, and `pnpm search`. `pnpm exec`, `pnpm run`, and the script shortcuts still create one in projects that declare `configDependencies`. ##### Global packages, pnpm versions, and runtimes - Global commands such as `pnpm add --global`, `pnpm list --global`, and `pnpm bin --global` now run with the pnpm you invoked, even in a project that pins another pnpm version. Previously, a pin with `onFail: "download"` switched them to the pinned pnpm, and a pinned pnpm 10 or older failed because its global bin directory was not in `PATH` [#&#8203;14531](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14531). - `pnpm add -g`, `pnpm update -g`, and `pnpm remove -g` no longer fail with `ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANIFEST_IO_ERROR` when another global package's link into the store dangles, for example after the store was pruned. The pnpm install script failed the same way on such a machine. - `pnpm update --global` now skips a global package installed from a `file:` path that no longer exists, prints a warning, and updates the remaining global packages. Previously the whole update failed with `ERR_PNPM_LINKED_PKG_DIR_NOT_FOUND` [#&#8203;12533](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12533). - `pnpm self-update` run in a project that pins pnpm through `packageManager` or `devEngines.packageManager` now also updates the global pnpm, as it does outside a project [#&#8203;14747](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14747). - `pnpm self-update` no longer leaves the previous pnpm in the global packages when it was installed as `@pnpm/exe`. `pnpm ls -g` now lists a single pnpm [#&#8203;14709](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14709). `pnpm setup` now installs pnpm under the package name `pnpm` too, so both commands leave the same shims in the global bin directory. After a self-update on Windows, PowerShell ran pnpm through `pnpm.cmd` and asked "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" on Ctrl+C [#&#8203;15567](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15567). - `pnpm setup` failed with `Text file busy (os error 26)` when `$PNPM_HOME/bin` already held `pn`, `pnpx`, or `pnx` as links to the running pnpm executable. It now replaces those files and completes [#&#8203;15494](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15494). - `pnpm setup` no longer deletes aliases and other lines that sit between a `# pnpm` comment and the pnpm block in a shell startup file [#&#8203;7067](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7067). - When pnpm switches to the version a project pins, the `minimumReleaseAge` approvals for that version are now added to `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` in the project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. A project without that file gets one. Global commands leave the project's settings unchanged [#&#8203;15396](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15396). - `pnpm env remove` now cleans up dangling Node.js executables and shims. Surviving global commands remain intact. - Node.js runtime resolution now supports Windows ARM64. Node.js 20 and newer resolve native `win-arm64` builds, and older versions fall back to `win-x64` under emulation [#&#8203;7123](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7123). ##### Windows and WSL - On Windows, `pnpm clean` and installs no longer fail immediately when another process uses a package in `node_modules`. pnpm waits up to a minute for an open file. It waits up to 5 seconds for a running program [#&#8203;15081](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15081). - `pnpm install` in WSL now waits out Windows file locks on a Windows drive such as `/mnt/c`, as it already does on Windows. Before, an antivirus or indexer scan holding a file open could fail the install with `EACCES` [#&#8203;6155](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6155). - On Windows, pnpm now retries saving `pnpm-lock.yaml` for up to a minute while another process holds the file open. The save used to fail at once with `EPERM`, `EBUSY`, or "Access is denied" [#&#8203;9461](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9461). - pnpm now escapes trailing dots and spaces in `node_modules/.pnpm` directory names. Windows strips these characters, so a dependency such as `"parent-pkg": "file:../"` created a directory that could not be deleted or failed to install [#&#8203;8101](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8101). - On Windows, bin shims run from Git Bash, MSYS2, or Cygwin now pass `NODE_PATH` to Node.js as Windows paths. A project installed from cmd or PowerShell gave its bins a `NODE_PATH` under the Git install directory when they ran from Git Bash. Installing again replaces the shims already in `node_modules` [#&#8203;3360](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3360). - Fixed scripts failing with errors such as `'an-compile' is not recognized` when `scriptShell` is set to `cmd.exe` on Windows [#&#8203;7181](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7181). - On Windows, the error for a `node_modules` directory that pnpm cannot move out of the way now names the directory and says that a file in it is probably in use by another process [#&#8203;7505](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7505). ##### Inspecting dependencies - `pnpm audit` and `pnpm audit signatures` now check only the dependencies of the projects selected by `--filter`, `--filter-prod`, or `--workspace-root`. The filter used to be ignored, so a filtered audit reported the whole workspace [#&#8203;10982](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10982). - `pnpm audit` now lists at least one dependency path from every workspace project that depends on a vulnerable package. Before, a project whose dependency was reached through more than 100 paths filled the path list, and other projects that depend on the same package were left out [#&#8203;12200](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12200). - `pnpm audit --fix` now prunes redundant overrides when one vulnerable range is a subset of another for the same package [#&#8203;8577](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8577). - Running `pnpm list` inside a workspace package without `--recursive` or a filter now lists only the current package [#&#8203;14494](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14494). `pnpm licenses list` does the same. Use `--recursive` or `--filter` to list the licenses of other workspace projects [#&#8203;5689](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5689). - `pnpm list --only-projects` now prints every project selected with `--filter` or `--recursive`, including a project that has no workspace dependencies [#&#8203;9770](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9770). It also lists the workspace projects when `sharedWorkspaceLockfile` is `false` [#&#8203;7151](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7151), and a project that sets `publishConfig.directory` [#&#8203;10635](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10635). It no longer reports packages in `node_modules` that are missing from the lockfile [#&#8203;9528](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/9528). - `pnpm licenses list` failed or reported nothing in a workspace with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false`. It now reads the lockfile of each selected project [#&#8203;10140](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10140). - With `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `pnpm licenses list` reported every license as `Unknown` and listed paths under `node_modules/.pnpm` that do not exist. It now reads each package from the directory where the hoisted linker placed it [#&#8203;8589](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8589). - `pnpm outdated` and `pnpm -r outdated` now fail with `ERR_PNPM_NO_PACKAGE_IN_DEPENDENCIES` when a requested package selector does not match any dependency in the inspected projects [#&#8203;2319](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2319). - `pnpm -r outdated --json` now includes every outdated workspace dependency when multiple projects depend on different versions or dependency types of the same package. Such a package is keyed by its current version and dependency type, for example `vue@2.7.14 (dev)` [#&#8203;7693](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7693). - `pnpm sbom` filtered to a single workspace project now takes the `author`, `description`, `license`, `repository`, and `bugs` fields from the workspace root `package.json` when the project does not declare them. A field the project declares is never taken from the root, even when it is blank or `null` [#&#8203;14882](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14882). - `pnpm store status` no longer reports a package as modified when it has build or postinstall scripts, peer dependencies, or skipped optional dependencies [#&#8203;15383](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15383). When packages were mutated, it now lists only those packages and no longer suggests running `pnpm install --force` [#&#8203;919](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/919). - `pnpm peers check` and the `ERR_PNPM_PEER_DEP_ISSUES` error now group peer dependency issues under the workspace project they were found in [#&#8203;15351](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15351). ##### Output and messages - The error for an incompatible pnpm-lock.yaml now reports the lockfileVersion the file was generated with and the lockfileVersion the current pnpm supports [#&#8203;848](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/848). - When the registry stops sending data for longer than `fetchTimeout`, pnpm now reports that the metadata or tarball request timed out. Previously the error did not mention the timeout [#&#8203;3646](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3646). - Fatal peer dependency errors and their hints are now written to stderr [#&#8203;5419](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5419). - `pnpm run` with `--loglevel` set to `warn`, `error`, or `silent` (or the same `loglevel` setting) no longer prints the `$ <command>` line before a script, nor the summary of the install that `verifyDepsBeforeRun` runs first. Both are info-level output [#&#8203;8944](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8944). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` now print `No projects matched the filters in "<workspace>"` when `--filter` selects no project [#&#8203;8408](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8408). - `pnpm dedupe` now counts each package reused from the store once in its progress output [#&#8203;15303](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15303). - `pnpm add` now warns when replacing an existing dependency with a specifier pointing to a different source [#&#8203;14869](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14869). - `pnpm link` now warns when linking a package that declares one or more peer dependencies, explaining that the linked dependency will not resolve peer dependencies from the target `node_modules` and suggesting the `file:` protocol instead. - `pnpm import` now warns when package.json lists projects in a "workspaces" array and there is no "pnpm-workspace.yaml". Without that file, the import writes a lockfile for the root project only [#&#8203;5240](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5240). - Bash completion now completes script names that contain a colon, such as `pnpm run test:u` to `pnpm run test:unit` [#&#8203;5482](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5482). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center"

pnpm 12.6 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/pnpm@12.5.1...v12.6.0) pnpm 12.6.0 ships with automatic dependency deduplication, relocatable node_modules, package.yaml manifest editing, and --save-types support. ##### Minor Changes - `autoDedupe` deduplicates compatible dependency versions during installation [#&#8203;7258](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7258). Enable it in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` or use `pnpm install --auto-dedupe` or `pnpm add --auto-dedupe`. Frozen installs leave the lockfile unchanged. - `pnpm install`, `pnpm run`, and `pnpm exec` on macOS and Linux now reuse a `node_modules` directory and bin shims that moved or were copied together with their project [#&#8203;6937](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6937). The first command after the move checks the tree and records its new location, so project commands in `node_modules/.bin` keep working. - `pnpm add --save-types` saves available `@types/*` packages in `devDependencies` alongside registry dependencies [#&#8203;3868](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3868). Packages that declare bundled TypeScript types are skipped. Set `saveTypes: true` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to enable this by default. - `package.yaml` manifests can now be updated by `pnpm add`, `pnpm update`, `pnpm remove`, `pnpm pkg`, `pnpm link`, `pnpm set-script`, and `pnpm version` [#&#8203;2008](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2008). Existing comments and key order are preserved. - Catalog entries can now use the `file:` and `link:` protocols [#&#8203;8642](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/8642). A relative path or bare path in an entry, such as `./tarballs/foo.tgz`, is measured from the directory holding `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. - `pnpm tasks status` lists running and waiting tasks in each concurrency group, and waiting tasks now take available slots in arrival order with higher `priority` tasks going first [#&#8203;15208](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15208). If workspaces use different limits for the same group, a later task can take a free slot that earlier tasks cannot use. A package script named `tasks` takes precedence; use `pnpm pm tasks status` when that script exists. - `pnpm cache prune` deletes registry metadata cache directories that this version of pnpm can no longer read [#&#8203;15046](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15046). `pnpm cache prune --dry-run` lists what it would delete without removing anything. - `macosBackup.excludeModulesDir` and `macosBackup.excludeStoreDir` on macOS can now exclude newly created modules, virtual-store, and package-store directories from Time Machine [#&#8203;6440](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6440). Set either to `true` in global configuration or using the `PNPM_CONFIG_MACOS_BACKUP_EXCLUDE_MODULES_DIR` and `PNPM_CONFIG_MACOS_BACKUP_EXCLUDE_STORE_DIR` environment variables. - `pnpm add --tilde` is now an alias for `--save-prefix=~` [#&#8203;12863](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12863). The Yarn `-T` shorthand is not supported. - `progress` setting and `--no-progress` option now turn off dependency and download progress lines [#&#8203;14065](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14065). Warnings, lifecycle output, and the dependency summary are still printed. ##### Patch Changes ##### Security - POSIX bin shims now take `cygpath` and `wslpath` from the system default path on Cygwin, MSYS2, and WSL2 so a dependency cannot redirect another package's shim [#&#8203;14866](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14866). - `pnpm install` warnings no longer carry the text of a package's deprecation notice, naming only the deprecated package and version [#&#8203;15099](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15099). A deprecation warning names the newest non-deprecated version when one exists, and control characters and line separators are stripped from package identifiers and warnings. - `pnpm install` and other commands that report configuration warnings now warn when environment variables in project `.npmrc` credentials are ignored [#&#8203;15051](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15051). ##### Installing packages - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now succeeds when an optional dependency was unresolvable and skipped by the install that wrote the lockfile [#&#8203;3960](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3960). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` no longer installs dependencies of projects removed from `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;15248](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15248). Missing local tarballs used only by those projects no longer fail the install. - `pnpm ci` now empties `node_modules` before installing in a project that declares a `clean` script [#&#8203;15276](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15276). - `pnpm install --force` now re-imports every package into the virtual store [#&#8203;15030](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15030) and removes obsolete dependency links inside virtual-store packages when their dependencies change [#&#8203;15039](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15039). - `preinstall` script for the root project now runs before dependencies are resolved and linked [#&#8203;3760](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3760). - `pnpm install` now runs `pnpm:devPreinstall` when the root project uses `package.yaml` [#&#8203;15168](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15168). - `pnpm install` now enforces the root project's `engines.node` range when `engineStrict` is enabled [#&#8203;3016](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3016). - `pnpm install` now uses the running Node.js when `devEngines.runtime` declares a range without `onFail: download` [#&#8203;15230](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15230). - `pnpm install` no longer hangs when a git dependency is fetched over SSH and ssh prompts for a passphrase or host key confirmation, running ssh in batch mode instead [#&#8203;2227](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2227). - `pnpm install` now installs git-hosted dependencies without preparing them when their builds are explicitly denied by `allowBuilds` [#&#8203;10522](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/10522). - `pnpm install` now reuses an in-flight tarball download when another resolution of the same archive still needs its `package.json` [#&#8203;15037](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15037). - `pnpm install --prod` no longer downloads registry packages that only a devDependency reaches [#&#8203;881](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/881). - `pnpm install --no-runtime --frozen-lockfile` with `nodeLinker: hoisted` no longer fails on repeated runs with a broken lockfile [#&#8203;15212](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15212). ##### Resolving and linking dependencies - `pnpm install` and `pnpm update` now resolve a dependency range to the newest matching version that is not deprecated [#&#8203;15128](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15128). - `pnpm add <pkg>` without a version now uses the catalog entry when the workspace already catalogs that package [#&#8203;14865](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14865). - `pnpm install` now links workspace dependencies declared with plain version ranges when `excludeLinksFromLockfile` and `linkWorkspacePackages` are enabled [#&#8203;15133](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15133). - `pnpm install` now resolves local tarball dependencies whose absolute `file:` paths contain `..` consistently and skips reinstallation on repeat installs [#&#8203;15190](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15190). -

`pnpm update --no-save` no longer bypasses version-scoped overrides when a dependency selector specifies a version [#&#8203;14923](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14923). - `pnpm peers check` and strict peer dependency checks no longer reject compatible versions from named registries [#&#8203;15225](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15225). - `pnpm outdated` and `pnpm update --interactive --latest` now include named-registry dependencies such as `work:2.1.0` and preserve their registry prefix [#&#8203;15226](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15226). - Workspace projects selected by `hoistPattern` or `publicHoistPattern` are now hoisted on every install [#&#8203;3642](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3642). - Workspace packages with SemVer build metadata are no longer skipped when they match the requested range and have the same version precedence as the registry package [#&#8203;2812](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2812). - Sped up `pnpm dedupe` and `pnpm install` in projects with many convergence overrides by checking overrides concurrently [#&#8203;15175](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15175). - `minimumReleaseAge` is no longer skipped for packages served by registries returning matching ETags for abbreviated and full package metadata [#&#8203;14925](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14925). ##### Running scripts and tasks - `pnpm run` signal handling no longer delivers a redundant second `SIGINT` to child scripts on `Ctrl+C` in a terminal, and properly forwards termination signals when running non-interactively without a terminal [#&#8203;7374](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7374). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` in workspaces with `sharedWorkspaceLockfile: false` now verify dependencies in the selected projects rather than expecting a root workspace state [#&#8203;15272](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15272). - `pnpm test` now forwards `--filter` arguments to the test script when the option follows the shortcut [#&#8203;15217](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15217). - Recursive runs now start scripts matched by a `/pattern/` selector in parallel within `workspaceConcurrency` [#&#8203;14933](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14933). - `pnpm deploy`, `pnpm rebuild`, `pnpm rb`, and `pnpm setup` now prefer a `package.json` script of the same name [#&#8203;14976](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14976). - `modulesDir` custom directory names now support executable lookup and CommonJS plugin resolution across `pnpm run`, `pnpm exec`, `pnpm version` hooks, and lifecycle scripts [#&#8203;3604](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3604). - `pnpm install-test` now accepts `--no-bail` directly and in recursive runs [#&#8203;3777](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3777). ##### Workspace and project configuration - `pnpm` commands run in a project not included in the workspace now act on that project alone [#&#8203;3561](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/3561). -

pnpm 12.5.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.5.0...pnpm@12.5.1) ##### Patch Changes - pnpm now reports an unknown task setting in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` and carries on. It used to refuse to start, so a project could not use a task setting that only the pnpm version its `packageManager` pins reads. The setting is still an error when the running pnpm is that pinned version. - Python interpreter installation now retries historical release metadata requests. It caches the release list for up to 24 hours and refreshes it once after a lookup miss. When a release omits the current platform, the search samples at most eight other releases before reporting that the lookup is inconclusive. - Python `registries` entries now route packages by exact names or trailing-prefix patterns in `packages`. Registry declaration order no longer affects resolution. A matched package resolves exclusively from its assigned registry, including transitive and build dependencies. Use `packages: ["*"]` to declare the default index. - `pnpm install` no longer fails with "Too many levels of symbolic links" when a Cargo configuration file above the workspace is a symlink, such as a `~/.cargo/config.toml` linked from a dotfiles repository. - `pnpm install` now returns "Already up to date" in a workspace where `dedupeDirectDeps` left a project without a `node_modules` directory of its own. Such a project forced a full install on every run. - `pnpm install` no longer refuses the repeat-install fast path just because a changed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is 16 MiB or larger. Such a lockfile forced a full install on the run after every change. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.5 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.4.2...v12.5.0) pnpm 12.5.0 makes Python a first-class ecosystem, accepts Package URLs in `pnpm add`, names whole platforms in `supportedArchitectures`, and gives tasks machine-wide concurrency limits. It also fixes an install that could reuse one package's downloaded tarball for another. ##### Minor Changes ##### Installing packages - `pnpm add` accepts a [Package URL](https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec) in place of a package name. `pnpm add pkg:npm/express@4.18.2` saves `express` to `package.json`. `pnpm add pkg:cargo/serde@1.0.188` saves `serde` to `Cargo.toml`. `pnpm add pkg:pypi/requests@2.31.0` saves `requests` to `pyproject.toml`. `pkg` is now a reserved specifier prefix, whatever case it is written in, so a named registry can no longer be called `pkg`. - A `registries` entry can now name the ecosystem it serves. ```yaml registries: https://internal.example/simple/: ecosystem: pypi https://pypi.org/simple/: ecosystem: pypi https://index.crates.io/: ecosystem: cargo ``` `ecosystem` accepts `npm`, `cargo` and `pypi`. An entry that does not name one serves npm, as every entry did before. An ecosystem with several indexes searches them in the order they are declared. The first index that has a package supplies it, so the one declared last answers what none before it had. A `registries` entry may not carry credentials. pnpm reads them from `.npmrc`, matched by origin, for a PyPI index as for every other package source. ##### Configuring pnpm - `supportedArchitectures` now accepts a list of platforms, in place of the `os`, `cpu` and `libc` axes. ```yaml supportedArchitectures: - linux-x64 - darwin-arm64 - win32-x64 ``` An install prepares for the platforms the list names, and for those only. A platform reads as `<os>-<cpu>`, with a C library on Linux, as in `linux-x64-musl` or `linux-x64-manylinux_2_28`. The Rust target triple of the same machine is accepted too, so `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` names the platform `linux-x64` names. A Linux platform that names no C library is the glibc platform. `current` is the platform the install runs on. The `os`, `cpu` and `libc` mapping keeps working and keeps its meaning. - Added concurrency groups for tasks. A task in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` can name a `concurrencyGroup`. The new `concurrencyGroups` setting gives each group a limit. At most that many tasks of the group run at once on the machine, counted across every pnpm process, `pnpm pipeline` included. A task past the limit waits for a running one to finish. A script that calls `pnpm run` for a task of the same group runs under the slot its parent holds. ```yaml tasks: test:rust: concurrencyGroup: cargo concurrencyGroups: cargo: 2 ``` - `tools` names the programs pnpm downloads, and `mirror` says where each one comes from. ```yaml tools: node: mirror: https://mirror.example.com/node/download channels: nightly: https://nightly.example.com/ bun: mirror: https://mirror.example.com/bun python: mirror: https://mirror.example.com/python-build-standalone/releases ``` `node`, `bun` and `python` can be named. Any other tool is refused. `mirror` is the base a tool's own layout hangs off. `channels` sends one release channel elsewhere. A channel neither it nor `node-mirror:<channel>` names is left to `mirror`. Only `node` publishes channels, so naming them for another tool is refused. Set it in the global `config.yaml` or in `PNPM_CONFIG_TOOLS`. A `pnpm-workspace.yaml` that names a tool mirror is ignored. `pnpm pack-app` downloads the Node.js it embeds through `tools.node`. `node-mirror:<channel>` keeps working and names the same thing as an entry under `channels`. ##### Python interpreters and environments - `pnpm install` now chooses a Python interpreter for each project instead of installing every project with one interpreter [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). A project is installed with the first interpreter on the machine that its `requires-python` accepts, so a workspace can hold projects that support different Python versions. pnpm reads `.python-version` too, and prefers the version it asks for. Set `python.executable` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to name one interpreter for every project. - `pnpm install` now installs a Python interpreter when no interpreter on the machine fits the project [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). The builds are [python-build-standalone](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone)'s, which uv and rye install too. One interpreter is shared by every project on the machine, and a later install uses it without downloading anything. `runtimeOnFail` decides what an install with no interpreter that fits does, the way it does for a Node.js runtime. `error` reports the project instead of installing one. `warn` and `ignore` install with an interpreter the machine has that the project's `requires-python` rejects. `tools.python.mirror` names a mirror. - Python environments now live in the store. Each project keeps only its `.venv` link, which points at the project's current environment generation under `python-envs` in the store. A repository with many Python projects no longer holds a `.pnpm/python-envs` directory in each of them. The next install relinks a `.venv` that an earlier release published. The old `.pnpm/python-envs` directory is left in place, since a running program may still use it, and can be deleted once none does. With `frozenStore` set, pnpm writes nothing to the store, so environments stay in the project's `.pnpm/python-envs` [#&#8203;15014](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15014). - Python environments now use `packageImportMethod` to import wheel files from the store. Use `clone-or-copy` for copy-on-write clones with a copy fallback, or `copy` for independent files. Hardlinked files share writes with the store and other environments. Isolated Python build environments keep backend writes private with copy-on-write clones or copies. ##### Python projects and workspaces - `pnpm install` now installs a Python project's own package, so the project can be imported and the commands in `[project.scripts]` run right after an install [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). The installed package points at the source tree, so an edit to a module takes effect without another install. pnpm installs the package of a project that declares a `[build-system]`. `tool.uv.package` overrides that either way. - `pnpm install` now installs a Python project in the workspace from its own source. Declare it under `[tool.uv.sources]`, as `shared = { workspace = true }` or `shared = { path = "../shared", editable = true }`. pnpm builds the project with the backend it declares. It installs the build editable, so an edit to the project takes effect without another install. Approve the build backend under `allowBuilds` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` as a Package URL, as `pkg:pypi/hatchling: true`. An install that has not approved a backend does not build the projects that need it. The message names the key to add. `pnpm install` now refuses a requirement that names a project in the workspace when nothing declares where it comes from. It used to take that name from the index. - The members of a uv workspace can now share one Python environment. Set `shared-environment = true` under `[tool.pnpm.python]` in the `pyproject.toml` that declares `[tool.uv.workspace]`. `pnpm install` then resolves every member as one graph into one `pylock.toml` and one `.venv` at the workspace root. Two members that require versions of a distribution no release satisfies at once are refused with an error naming both. Each project still gets an environment of its own by default [#&#8203;15015](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15015). - Python projects can now select extras and dependency groups through `[tool.pnpm.python]` in `pyproject.toml` [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). Workspace `python.extras` and `python.groups` defaults now skip names a project does not define. - `pnpm install` now reads dynamic Python project metadata from the build backend [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). Projects with only a `requirements.txt` file now get a Python environment and lockfile. ##### Python dependencies and lockfiles - pnpm can now resolve `pylock.toml` for several platforms and Python versions at once. `supportedArchitectures` names the platforms to lock for and `python.versions` the versions. Every platform is paired with every version. One committed lockfile then serves Linux CI and macOS or Windows contributors [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). ```yaml supportedArchitectures: - linux-x64-manylinux_2_28 - darwin-arm64 - win32-x64 python: enabled: true versions: ['3.12', '3.13'] ``` The lockfile pins the wheel each environment takes for a distribution. It marks a package only some environments install. `pnpm install` takes the packages and wheels of the environment its interpreter matches, and refuses an interpreter none of them stand for. pnpm resolves a project that declares environments itself, not through the server `pnprServer` names. Naming neither setting locks for the interpreter running the install. - `python.overrides` and `python.constraints` pin the versions a Python resolution may pick [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). pnpm reads uv's own overrides and constraints from `pyproject.toml` too. - `pnpm install` now supports Python dependencies from Git repositories [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). Direct wheel URLs are also supported. Sources can be declared in `[tool.uv.sources]`. Git dependencies require `allowBuilds` approval. - `pnpm install` can install a Python release that publishes no wheel this interpreter accepts, by building the source distribution the index serves beside it [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). The archive is pinned in `pylock.toml` by name and SHA-256. A later install replays it from the store, offline included. Building a source distribution runs the release's own build backend. Approve it with `pkg:pypi/<distribution>: true` under `allowBuilds`. A resolution that finds no version of a distribution now says why. It tells apart a distribution no index publishes, one whose releases publish nothing this interpreter can install, and one whose versions the project's requirements exclude. ##### Patch Changes ##### Installing packages - pnpm no longer reuses one package's downloaded tarball for another package whose resolution pins a different integrity hash to the same URL [#&#8203;15021](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15021). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm add` now report an error when `package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `pyproject.toml` or another file they snapshot before installing is a named pipe or a device. The command used to wait forever for something to write to it. - `pnpm install --prod` and `pnpm install --dev` now record every dependency group in `pnpm-lock.yaml`. `node_modules` still holds only the groups the filter selects. They used to write the filter into the lockfile, so a later `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejected it. `pnpm prune --prod`, `pnpm prune --dev`, and `pnpm prune --no-optional` behave the same way [#&#8203;14912](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14912). - POSIX bin shims now convert a Windows-form path such as `C:\node_modules\.bin\tsc` correctly. The shim mangled the backslashes in such a path and could not reach the package it runs. Installing again replaces the shims already in `node_modules` [#&#8203;14867](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14867). - Two pnpm processes installing one workspace at the same time no longer fail on Windows with "Access is denied" while writing `node_modules/.pnpm-workspace-state-v1.json`. The write now retries the transient lock the other process holds, as pnpm's other file writes do. - pnpm now reads the manifest from the tarball when a pnpmfile `resolvers` hook returns a resolution without one. Such a package installed alone, with none of its own dependencies and no warning [#&#8203;15000](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15000). - `pnpm install` now merges Git conflict markers in `pnpm-lock.yaml`. It parses both sides of the conflict and keeps the versions they locked. A conflict in the config dependencies recorded at the top of the lockfile is merged too [#&#8203;14880](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14880). ##### Cargo projects - `pnpm install` can now generate `Cargo.lock` for workspaces with path or Git `[patch]` and `[replace]` overrides. Adding, removing, and updating crates also preserve these overrides [#&#8203;14950](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14950). Cargo lockfile resolution blocks unsupported Git transport helpers declared by transitive dependencies. - `pnpm install` now vendors recursive Git submodules for Cargo dependencies at their pinned commits. Cargo builds can use these sources offline. Set Git's `protocol.file.allow` to `always` to fetch local file submodules. pnpm fetches cached Git crates again on the first online install [#&#8203;14951](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14951). - `pnpm install` now generates `Cargo.lock` for workspaces with Git dependencies, including a dependency that omits a package version. It also downloads the Rust standard library's dependencies when Cargo configuration enables `build-std` [#&#8203;14944](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14944). - `pnpm install` now handles weak Cargo features, written `crate?/feature`. Resolution failed when one dependency turned on an optional crate and another asked for a weak feature of it [#&#8203;14960](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14960). The generated `Cargo.lock` now also includes the dependencies weak features reference, which Cargo rejected with `--locked` for crates such as `uuid` [#&#8203;14978](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14978). - `pnpm install` now generates `Cargo.lock` when a crate version it considers depends on a release the registry carries only as yanked. pnpm rules that version out and resolves the rest of the graph. Resolution failed with an error such as `no non-yanked version of napi-build satisfies ^3.0.0-beta` [#&#8203;14952](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14952). - `pnpm install` now falls back to an older semver-incompatible version of a crate when the newest one a dependency range allows cannot be resolved. Ranges such as `>=1, <3` span several of them [#&#8203;14962](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14962). ##### Python projects - `pnpm install` now honors uv workspace members when discovering Python projects. When no uv workspace declares a project, pnpm skips projects under conventional example, demo, documentation, template, `test`, `tests`, and test fixture directories [#&#8203;15058](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15058). - `pnpm install --filter <selector>` now installs only the Python projects the selection asks for. A Python project that shares a directory with an npm workspace project is selected with that project. A Python project in a directory of its own is selected by the distribution it declares, by its path, or through the `[tool.uv.sources]` entries that reach it. Under `--fail-if-no-match`, a selector that names only a Python project is a match. `pnpm add --filter <selector> pypi:<package>` writes the requirement to every selected project [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). - `pnpm install` now installs wheels whose `RECORD` hashes disagree with their contents. The wheel archive's locked SHA-256 hash remains verified. pnpm writes correct hashes to the installed `RECORD` [#&#8203;15061](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15061). - `pnpm install` now installs a Python wheel whose `WHEEL` file lists tags that differ from the ones in its filename. A wheel whose filename tags were changed after the build, such as `mysql-connector-python`, was rejected [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). - A Python release whose wheel metadata declares a requirement pnpm cannot read no longer fails the install. pnpm now resolves the project against the other releases of that package, and reports the unreadable requirement when none of them works. - `pnpm install` no longer fails when a Python index lists a file pnpm cannot use, such as a release with no SHA-256 digest or an unreadable wheel filename. That file is left out and the project resolves against the remaining releases. - `pnpm add pypi:<package>` in a directory that has no `pyproject.toml` now names the missing file and says where to run the command. It used to fail with a bare `No such file or directory (os error 2)` [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). ##### Performance - `pnpm audit` no longer hangs on dependency graphs with many shared dependencies [#&#8203;15005](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15005). - Sped up `pnpm install` in Python workspaces with many projects. Projects now prepare concurrently. Projects with identical registry requirements also share fresh dependency resolutions [#&#8203;14945](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14945). - Repeat installs through the Node-API bindings now return "Already up to date" when the project manifests still match `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Before, every such install reinstalled the whole tree. An install also no longer reinstalls when `pnpm-lock.yaml` differs from the installed dependencies only by packages no project depends on or by top-level keys pnpm does not define. ##### Other commands - `pnpm deploy` now links commands exposed by workspace dependencies into the deployed project's `node_modules/.bin` directory [#&#8203;14899](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14899). - `pnpm dlx` and `pnx` now prompt to approve dependency build scripts in interactive terminals [#&#8203;14943](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14943). Cached packages with pending builds also prompt for approval. Without an interactive terminal, use `--allow-build` to allow the required builds. - `pnpm add -g` and `pnpm update -g` now ignore incomplete unrelated global package groups when every command from the replaced group is retained. Operations that could remove a global command still require complete ownership information. - `pnpm pack` now writes tarball entries grouped by file extension and file name, the order npm uses. Packages that ship many same-named files, such as template collections, pack much smaller [#&#8203;14766](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14766). - `pnpm outdated --long` fills the Details column with the package homepage again [#&#8203;14886](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14886). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a

pnpm 12.4.2 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.4.1...v12.4.2) pnpm 12.4.2 includes security fixes for executable shims and GitHub Actions links, more reliable installs, faster peer dependency checks in workspaces, and Python lockfiles that work across compatible targets. ##### Patch Changes ##### Security - Dependency executables can no longer take over another package's POSIX bin shim through its shell helpers. Reinstall dependencies to replace existing shims [#&#8203;14837](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14837). On Cygwin, MSYS2, and WSL, shims still use `PATH` for Windows path conversion, so dependency executables can still redirect them there. - GitHub Actions homepage links no longer expose server credentials. GitHub server URLs now require HTTPS, with HTTP allowed only for loopback hosts. ##### Installing packages - pnpm no longer crashes at startup on FreeBSD and other Unix-like platforms. Platforms other than Windows and macOS use `~/.local/share/pnpm/store` by default [#&#8203;14859](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14859). - `pnpm install` on Windows no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR` when clearing `node_modules` containing linked dependencies, such as when changing `nodeLinker` [#&#8203;14790](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14790). - `pnpm install <pkg>` now accepts `--prod` and `--dev`, including `--prod=false` [#&#8203;14868](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14868). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm update` now honor `--ignore-workspace` in nested projects excluded from the surrounding workspace. The flag also skips that workspace's settings during the `packageManager` check [#&#8203;14809](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14809). - `pnpm install` on macOS no longer reuses stale files for `file:` tarball or git-hosted tarball dependencies. - `pnpm install` in a single-project directory now detects `package.json` edits made while the previous install was finishing [#&#8203;14890](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14890). - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now removes packages no longer reachable from any project in `pnpm-lock.yaml`. This also prevents repeated lifecycle script execution and unnecessary installs before `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` with `verifyDepsBeforeRun` [#&#8203;14891](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14891). ##### Resolving and updating dependencies - Node.js runtime resolution now reports network failures from unofficial-builds.nodejs.org. These failures previously omitted musl builds from `pnpm-lock.yaml`, making its contents depend on network access [#&#8203;14813](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14813). - `pnpm install` now rejects invalid `peerDependencies` specifiers with `ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PEER_DEPENDENCY_SPECIFICATION`. A value such as `"foo": "foo@1.0.0"` previously created a broken directory link [#&#8203;14791](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14791). - `pnpm deploy` now writes plain registry versions in the deployed `package.json`, without peer dependency suffixes. The lockfile retains peer bindings, and npm aliases retain their target package names [#&#8203;14873](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14873). - `pnpm add <git repository>` now names repositories without a `package.json` as `@owner/repo`, allowing dependencies on equally named repositories from different owners [#&#8203;14870](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14870). - Peer dependency resolution now deduplicates packages whose child dependency resolves an optional peer in only some workspace projects, such as `next` with `styled-jsx`'s optional `babel-plugin-macros` peer [#&#8203;14800](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14800). - `pnpm update` now settles the lockfile in one run when an upgrade removes the package providing an optional peer dependency [#&#8203;14895](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14895). - `pnpm update --no-save` now preserves override-applied specifiers for dependencies it is not updating, preventing subsequent frozen installs from failing with `ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE` [#&#8203;14836](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14836). - `pnpm update --no-save` now succeeds under `minimumReleaseAgeStrict` when every resolved version is old enough [#&#8203;14835](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14835). ##### Performance - Workspace installs and `pnpm peers check` are faster when projects depend on each other, fixing a slowdown introduced in 12.3.0. Unmet peer dependencies of workspace packages are now reported only under projects that link them directly [#&#8203;14906](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14906). - Hoisted installs use less memory when packages are cached. Frozen-lockfile hoisted installs on macOS are also faster when reusable package directories are cached. ##### Python projects - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` now reuses `pylock.toml` across compatible Python targets, including after kernel updates. Reuse requires unchanged requirements, index, and `requires-python`, compatible wheels, and a locked dependency graph matching the target's markers [#&#8203;14843](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14843). The lockfile's `environments` marker now includes only the interpreter version and marker variables used by the dependency graph. Without `--frozen-lockfile`, pnpm warns and resolves again when the locked graph no longer matches the target. - Python resolution no longer fails on malformed `Requires-Python` values, such as the trailing comma in `openpyxl` 3.0.x. pnpm treats these releases as declaring no interpreter range [#&#8203;14910](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14910). - `pnpm add pypi:...` now rejects unsupported `--save-prefix` values before editing the manifest or resolving dependencies. ##### Workspaces and scripts - Scripts listed in `syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts` no longer fail with `ERR_PNPM_INJECTED_DEPS_SYNC_READ_DIR` when the lockfile contains an injected package copy that no project depends on. - `shellEmulator` now expands `${VAR}`, `${VAR:-default}`, and `${VAR:+alternative}` in scripts [#&#8203;14814](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14814). - Cargo and Python project discovery now honors `!` exclusions in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` `packages`, skipping both parsing and generated source configuration for excluded projects [#&#8203;14844](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14844). - `pnpm --filter "./packages/{app,lib}"` now selects either alternative. Brace alternatives can nest, span path separators, and combine with other wildcards. - GitHub Actions updates now stop if an action reference changes during version resolution, and preserve unrelated workflow edits. ##### CLI and output - `pn`, `pnpx`, and `pnx` now run the pnpm installed alongside them, even when that directory is absent from `PATH` or another pnpm comes first [#&#8203;14803](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14803). - `pnpm --version` now reports failures to install or record a project's pinned pnpm, then prints the running CLI's version. It also honors `--store-dir` and `--store` [#&#8203;14831](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14831). - `pnpm self-update` no longer reinstalls the active version when it was installed by the standalone installation script [#&#8203;14823](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14823). - `pnpm t` and `pnpm tst` work again as aliases for `pnpm test`. - `pnpm sbom` now emits valid repository URLs in CycloneDX `externalReferences[].url` and SPDX `homepage`. Shorthands such as `vercel/ms` become `git+https` URLs, embedded credentials are removed, and invalid repository values are omitted [#&#8203;14773](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14773). <!--

pnpm 12.4.1 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.4.0...v12.4.1) pnpm 12.4.1 fixes installs that failed on filesystems refusing hard links or clones, on Android, and under `nodeLinker: hoisted`. Repeat installs are faster. ##### Patch Changes ##### Installing packages - `pnpm install` no longer fails with `Operation not permitted` when the filesystem refuses a hard link or a copy-on-write clone [#&#8203;14722](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14722). Under `packageImportMethod: auto` and `clone-or-copy`, pnpm copies the file instead. EdenFS checkouts, which have no hard links, and rootless containers, which refuse the clone syscall, both hit this. An explicit `packageImportMethod: hardlink` or `clone` still reports the error. pnpm also copies a package file whose store entry has reached the filesystem's limit on names for one file, 1024 on NTFS and 65000 on ext4. Such a file failed the install under `packageImportMethod: hardlink`, and under `auto` it stopped pnpm hard linking for the rest of the install. - `pnpm install` no longer writes a package file through a symlink left at the path it is importing to. Copying such a file overwrote whatever the link pointed at, and created that file when the link pointed nowhere. An executable package file also made the link's target executable. - Fixed `pnpm install` and `pnpm dlx` on Android. Registry requests crashed because pnpm found no system CA certificates, so pnpm uses bundled ones there [#&#8203;14777](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14777). Imports also failed with "Permission denied" on filesystems that deny hard links and reflinks, and now fall back to copying [#&#8203;14780](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14780). - `pnpm install` no longer fails with "Invalid cross-device link" while preserving a package's nested `node_modules` directory during a Docker build [#&#8203;14758](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14758). - `pnpm install` no longer fails on a package tarball that carries a file at the archive root, such as the `._*` entries macOS `tar` adds [#&#8203;14701](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14701). The file is installed at the root of the package. A `file:` tarball packed without the usual `package/` directory is now recorded under the name and version from its own `package.json`. It was recorded under the alias the dependency was given, at version 0.0.0. - Under `nodeLinker: hoisted`, `pnpm install` no longer re-imports packages that are already in place. A repeat install replaced the whole `node_modules` tree and reported `Packages: +N`. A package is still imported when its directory is missing, when its `package.json` no longer carries the installed version, when it is a `file:` dependency, and when it is patched. Lifecycle scripts no longer run again for a package left in place, and `pnpm rebuild` and a change to `allowBuilds` still reach it. - `pnpm install` now runs a dependency's build scripts again when its side-effects cache entry has no files to restore [#&#8203;14717](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14717). Such builds were skipped and nothing was put in their place, so a script whose whole effect lands outside its own package directory, such as a git hook installer, never took effect. pnpm no longer publishes empty artifacts to the shared side-effects cache either. ##### Resolving and linking dependencies - `pnpm install`, `pnpm add`, and `pnpm dedupe` now apply `ignoredOptionalDependencies` [#&#8203;14729](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14729). Matching optional dependencies are left out of the lockfile and are not installed. pnpm 12 installed them whenever it resolved dependencies from scratch. - `pnpm install` no longer links a transitive dependency to a workspace package when `linkWorkspacePackages` is `true` and the dependency is declared with a plain version range [#&#8203;14781](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14781). Enabling `preferWorkspacePackages` does not change this. Set `linkWorkspacePackages: deep` to link them. - `pnpm install` no longer leaves dangling dependency links in workspace packages located above the workspace root [#&#8203;14726](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14726). - `pnpm install` and `pnpm add` no longer leave a dangling symlink in `node_modules` when a project starts depending directly on a package that the lockfile holds only as a transitive dependency with resolved peer dependencies [#&#8203;14714](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14714). - `pnpm dedupe` now keeps a compatible auto-installed peer when another workspace project depends on a newer major [#&#8203;14697](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14697). Repeated runs alternated between compatible and incompatible peer versions. - `pnpm peers check` no longer reports a peer dependency declared as `workspace:^`, `workspace:~`, or a bare `workspace:` as unmet [#&#8203;14770](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14770). pnpm reported these as unmet whatever version the linked workspace project supplied. ##### Performance - Sped up repeat installs [#&#8203;14540](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14540). pnpm checks the store's files only for the packages it links into `node_modules`, instead of every package in the lockfile. Creating the command shims in `node_modules/.bin` makes about 1,500 fewer filesystem calls in a 76 project workspace. Installs that use the global virtual store read their slot paths from the cache directory instead of deriving them every time. Verifying a large lockfile also allocates less memory. - Sped up `pnpm install` in Cargo workspaces with many member crates. Repeated installs reuse verified Cargo checksum metadata. - Installing several packages from the same Git repository and commit now downloads the source once per install [#&#8203;14725](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14725). Each package still runs its prepare scripts in its own copy of the checkout. ##### Running scripts and tasks - pnpm now passes Ctrl+C on to the script or command it started and waits for it to shut down [#&#8203;14723](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14723). pnpm exited first, so a script that was still writing landed on the shell prompt. - `pnpm run "/pattern/" --no-bail` now lets every matched script finish after one of them fails [#&#8203;14718](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14718). The command exits with `ERR_PNPM_RUN_FAILED`, and its message lists the scripts that failed in the order they were selected. - `pnpm pipeline` no longer fails on a project that tracks a symlink, such as a `CLAUDE.md` pointing at `AGENTS.md` [#&#8203;14692](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14692). Changing a symlinked input's target invalidates that task's cache, and `pnpm pipeline --no-cache` no longer hashes task inputs. ##### Commands - `pnpm add -g`, `pnpm update -g`, and `pnpm remove -g` no longer change global bins or install directories after reading only part of an installed package group [#&#8203;13796](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13796). If any declared package manifest is missing, malformed, or unreadable, pnpm now fails before it activates or removes anything and leaves the existing global installation intact. - `pnpm dedupe` now processes every workspace project by default, including workspaces that keep a separate lockfile per project [#&#8203;14732](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14732). Workspace filters select which projects it processes, and `--fail-if-no-match` exits with an error when no project matches. - `pnpm update <name>@<version>` now keeps the range operator the manifest declares [#&#8203;14745](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14745). Running `pnpm update react@19.3.0` on `"react": "^19.2.8"` writes `"react": "^19.3.0"`. A `jsr:` entry keeps its `jsr:` prefix, and a plain `pnpm update` now moves a `jsr:` range the way it moves an npm range. - `pnpm --filter` directory selectors now support `?` wildcards and character classes such as `[ab]`. A `*` or `?` wildcard no longer selects a directory whose name starts with a dot, as on pnpm 11. - `pnpm deploy --legacy` now prefers the dependency versions pinned in the source workspace lockfile when they still satisfy the deployed project's range [#&#8203;13857](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13857). - `pnpm sbom` now leaves out a package's author field when the manifest author name is empty or contains only whitespace [#&#8203;14685](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14685). In a filtered or split workspace run, only a project with no `author` field inherits the workspace root's author. `pnpm sbom --sbom-format spdx` now writes `creationInfo.created` with whole seconds, such as `2026-09-08T10:38:21Z` [#&#8203;14684](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14684). The fractional seconds it carried were rejected by strict SPDX consumers. ##### Configuration - The `updateConfig` pnpmfile hook now receives the resolved configuration, including settings that came from `.npmrc`, the command line, or a default [#&#8203;14676](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14676). Scoped registries are reported under `registriesByScope`, and a hook may rewrite that map to change where packages are fetched from. Registry credentials are reported under `configByUri`, as pnpm 11 reports them. An unset setting is left out rather than reported as `null`. - `pnpm audit --fix` and the `minimumReleaseAgeStrict` approval prompt now keep the comments in `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` when they append an entry to it in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. The rest of the list is left as written, and the `trustPolicyExcludePrune` and `minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune` cleanups keep the comments of the entries they retain. `pnpm install` and `pnpm dedupe` now run those cleanups too [#&#8203;14759](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14759). Only `pnpm add`, `pnpm update`, and `pnpm remove` pruned the entries that the freshly written lockfile no longer resolves. - `pnpm config set --global node-download-mirrors` no longer rejects the key [#&#8203;13611](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13611). The global config file already accepted `nodeDownloadMirrors`, but the command refused to write it. - `NO_PROXY` entries that start with a dot, such as `.npmjs.org`, now bypass the proxy for the domain and its subdomains [#&#8203;14686](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14686). - pnpm no longer creates a project `pnpm-lock.yaml` when `devEngines.packageManager.onFail` is `download` and lockfile writing is off through `lockfile: false` or `--no-lockfile` [#&#8203;14728](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14728). pnpm still switches to the pinned version. - pnpm now writes `node_modules/.package-map.json` only when `nodeExperimentalPackageMap` is enabled. Nothing reads the file without that setting, and an install that stops writing the map removes the one a previous install left. ##### Windows - `pnpm pipeline` no longer fails with intermittent access denied errors when concurrent tasks save their cache entries on Windows. - Windows filesystem operations now retry permission errors for up to one second [#&#8203;14682](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14682). A permanent permission error delayed the failure by a minute. Sharing and lock violations keep their one minute retry budget. ##### Messages and output - pnpm now warns when the root `package.json` declares a non-empty `workspaces` array and the project has no `pnpm-workspace.yaml` [#&#8203;2255](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/2255). Such an install linked no project and said nothing about why. - `ERR_PNPM_PACKAGE_MANAGER_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR` now names the file or directory in `node_modules` that pnpm could not clean up. It reported only the underlying OS error, such as "Access is denied (os error 5)". - `pnpm --help` no longer describes pnpm as experimental. <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody>

pnpm 12.4 [Compare Source](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/compare/v12.3.4...v12.4.0) ##### Minor Changes - pnpm can now manage npm, Python, and Cargo dependencies in the same workspace. Enable `python.enabled` or `cargo.enabled` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, then use `pnpm install` to install them together. - Add Python packages with `pnpm add pypi:<package>`. pnpm uses `pyproject.toml`, `pylock.toml`, and a managed `.venv`. Frozen and offline installs are supported, and `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` make the environment's executables available [#&#8203;14566](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14566). - Add Rust crates with `pnpm add crate:<package>`. pnpm supports crates.io and custom sparse registries configured with `cargo.indexUrl`. Registry authentication supports pnpm credentials and, for crates.io, `CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN` or `$CARGO_HOME/credentials.toml`. Both ecosystems support faster dependency resolution through `pnprServer`, with local resolution as a fallback when the server does not support it. - Added `pnpm pipeline [name]` to install frozen dependencies and run workspace tasks declared in `pipelines`. It selects affected projects, runs their task graph, and continues running tasks after a task fails. Tasks support `inputs`, `outputs`, `env`, and `cache` settings. Cached results restore task outputs and replay logs. Cargo tasks can reuse local build state between worktrees with `tasks.<name>.cargoTargetDir`. Set `includeWorkspaceRoot: true` to include root tasks. Use `pnpm pipeline --dry-run` to preview the task graph without installing configuration dependencies or running workspace hooks. - Added support for Android on arm64 and x64, FreeBSD on x64, and Linux on ppc64le, s390x, and RISC-V (riscv64 with glibc) [#&#8203;14431](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14431), [#&#8203;14597](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14597), [#&#8203;7582](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7582). - Added `trustPolicyExcludePrune` to automatically remove unused versions and packages from `trustPolicyExclude` when running `pnpm add`, `pnpm update`, or `pnpm remove`. It is disabled by default. Package name patterns such as `@scope/*` are kept, and cleanup is skipped when `sharedWorkspaceLockfile` is `false`. - Added `pnpm change check` for CI validation of package versions against the `versioning.epics` bands and `versioning.fixed` groups in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. It reports all violations, including packages that are not part of the current release. ##### Patch Changes - Registry metadata is now kept separate for registries with different URL paths or schemes. This prevents installs from using another registry's package versions or tarball URLs, and keeps metadata fetched over HTTP from being reused for HTTPS [#&#8203;13558](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13558). The first install after upgrading refetches registry metadata. The package store is unchanged. `pnpm cache view` now shows full registry URLs. Scripts that parse the directory names from `pnpm cache list-registries` or `pnpm cache list` need updating. - Patches that add build scripts or a `binding.gyp` now trigger a build, subject to build approval. Unapproved builds appear under "Ignored build scripts" [#&#8203;14648](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14648). - Build scripts can now be rejected before installing a package with `pnpm add --allow-build=!<pkg>`, including global installs. `pnpm approve-builds <pkg>` and `pnpm approve-builds !<pkg>` also save decisions when no packages are awaiting approval. They warn if the named package is not awaiting approval [#&#8203;14067](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14067). - A registry configured in `.npmrc` now takes precedence over registry settings saved by `pnpm login` in the global `config.yaml`. This fixes installs using the wrong registry after login [#&#8203;14614](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14614). - Large downloads over slow connections no longer time out while data is still arriving. `fetch-timeout` now limits how long a request can go without making progress [#&#8203;14604](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14604). - Sped up installs in workspaces with many projects when reusing a warm global virtual store [#&#8203;14540](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14540). - `pnpm deploy` is faster in large workspaces and no longer fails with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` when the project includes a `.pnpmfile.mjs` [#&#8203;14539](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14539), [#&#8203;14671](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14671). - `pnpm add --workspace <pkg>` works again. It saves the dependency with the `workspace:` protocol and links it from the workspace. The command fails if no workspace project provides the package [#&#8203;14602](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14602). - `pnpm add` and `pnpm install` now accept protocol-prefixed selectors such as `jsr:@scope/pkg`, `npm:pkg@^1.0.0`, and `workspace:pkg@*` [#&#8203;14590](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14590). Installs with JSR dependencies in the lockfile also no longer fail with `ERR_PNPM_META_FETCH_FAIL` [#&#8203;14649](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14649). - Boolean flags now accept explicit inline values. For example, `pnpm install --prod=false` installs devDependencies, while `--prod=true` skips them [#&#8203;14553](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14553). - `pnpm install <pkg>` now accepts `--offline` and `--prefer-offline`, as `pnpm add <pkg>` already did [#&#8203;14194](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/14194). - Fixed `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` rejecting a freshly generated lockfile when overrides use relative `file:` or `link:` paths in a workspace [#&#8203;14555](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14555). - Fixed installs with config dependencies failing on symlinked lockfiles, such as those used by Bazel and Nix, when the config dependencies have not changed. Updates that would write through a symlink remain disallowed. Updating config dependencies also preserves lockfiles that start with a byte order mark [#&#8203;14372](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14372). - Fixed package manager version pins being written to the wrong lockfile when `lockfileDir` is set. The pins also remain consistent across commands when version switching is disabled, avoiding unnecessary lockfile changes [#&#8203;14633](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14633), [#&#8203;14575](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14575). - `pnpm import` now respects `lockfileDir` and branch lockfiles without modifying other lockfiles. Failed imports restore the destination lockfile [#&#8203;14563](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14563). - `pnpm patch-commit` now produces valid patches when files are added or deleted. `pnpm install` also accepts patches that delete files without listing their contents, and patch files with CRLF line endings [#&#8203;14559](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14559), [#&#8203;14557](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14557). - Fixed version ranges with partial upper bounds. For example, `<=16` now includes all 16.x versions, and `>=0.11 <=3` correctly accepts 3.0.1 [#&#8203;14419](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14419). - Workspace package patterns now support `.` and `..` segments and repeated slashes. Patterns such as `./packages/*` and exclusions such as `!./packages/foo` now match correctly [#&#8203;14571](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14571). - `packageConfigs` settings now apply to the specified projects when `sharedWorkspaceLockfile` is `false`, including `overrides`, `hoist`, `modulesDir`, `saveExact`, and `savePrefix`. Workspaces with a shared lockfile report which entries were ignored [#&#8203;14556](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14556). - `pnpm run` and `pnpm exec` no longer report a changed workspace structure after a successful install when `sharedWorkspaceLockfile` is `false` and `verifyDepsBeforeRun` is enabled [#&#8203;14588](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14588). - Commands run from a project's subdirectory now find the nearest ancestor with a manifest. This fixes commands such as `pnpm bin` returning paths under the wrong directory. `pnpm init` still creates its manifest in the current directory, and `pnpm exec` still runs there [#&#8203;14622](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14622). - Relative `scriptShell` paths in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` now resolve from the workspace root, including when scripts run in nested packages. Bare command names such as `bash` still use `PATH` [#&#8203;14422](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14422). - Fixed installing the pnpm version pinned in `packageManager` when `nodeLinker` is `hoisted`. Managed Node.js, Deno, and Bun installations also work when the global config uses `nodeLinker: hoisted` [#&#8203;14595](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14595). - The JavaScript pnpm can again switch to a project's pinned pnpm version on platforms without a native binary for that version, such as Alpine Linux with pnpm 10 or Intel Macs with pnpm 11. If a native pnpm version does not support the platform, the error now names the missing target [#&#8203;13622](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/13622). - Provisioning Yarn 6 now uses `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` when available to avoid GitHub's anonymous API rate limit in CI. Tokens are only sent when `strict-ssl` is enabled. - Fixed concurrent installs sharing a global virtual store on macOS failing with "failed to import ... No such file or directory" [#&#8203;14560](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14560). - Fixed `pnpm setup` failing with `ERR_PNPM_DIRECTORY_FETCHER_PATH_ESCAPE` on Windows. Local `file:` dependencies whose directories are symlinks or junctions are now packed correctly [#&#8203;14618](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14618). - On Windows, installs now retry replacing command shims temporarily locked by another process [#&#8203;14549](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14549). - Fixed argument forwarding on Windows with `shellEmulator` enabled. Paths ending in a backslash, line breaks, and literal shell expressions are preserved [#&#8203;14548](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14548). - Windows store paths now consistently use backslashes in `pnpm store path` output and in the `storeDir` and `virtualStoreDir` fields of `node_modules/.modules.yaml`. - Invalid certificates in `ca` or `cafile` no longer cause an `Invalid CA certificate` error. Valid certificates still apply, and blank `cert` or `key` values are treated as unset [#&#8203;14646](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14646). - Installs now respect the archive extraction concurrency limit even after a download is abandoned [#&#8203;14585](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14585). - `pnpm audit` summaries now exclude advisories ignored through `auditConfig.ignoreGhsas` and report them separately. When all advisories are ignored, the summary says so [#&#8203;14535](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14535). - `pnpm pack --json` now reports errors as JSON. Lifecycle script output appears before the final JSON output. - `pnpm outdated -r` now wraps the `Dependents` column, keeping the table readable when many workspace projects use the same dependency [#&#8203;14591](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14591). - Shell completions now support the `pn` alias in bash, fish, pwsh, and zsh [#&#8203;11955](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11955). - `pnpm version` now accepts `-m` as a short alias for `--message` [#&#8203;14567](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/14567). <!-- sponsors --> ##### Platinum Sponsors <table> <tbody> <tr> <td
